I'm shaking hands, kissing babies.

And all of that because back then, 112, we were in...

in the major college, to the small college, to the major city, to the small city.

If there was a demand for the group, we were going to be there.

And that just kind of molded me into my philosophy of how I think about marketing and promotions and presence.

Hey, man.

This is how I was raised.

Started as an 18-year-old.

18, that's crazy.

Next year I'll be 50.

And so we're talking about 30-something years of just constant activity.

And I'm so grateful that in my era, artist development was something that was a priority because it molded us in ways that allowed us to sustain sustainability.

And if we only just continue to tap into those early teachings, this is why a lot of the 90s artists are still moving around, can still make a living.

The 90s artists are probably the highest grossing touring acts

Presently.

Yeah.

And that's a great formula.

Even with this latest project I just released, Evolution of Romance Volume 1, it's me tapping into who I am and what I know.

I'm a 90s artist, but I also can incorporate some of the modern sounds and ways of delivery, certain terminologies now to just create a great hybrid.

And I think that's one of the reasons why this latest project has been received so well because of that nostalgia, but also being able to incorporate some modern stuff as well.
