What more can I say?
I appreciate the many (and I mean many) people that reach out to me but please reevaluate your motives and thoughts if the only time you speak to me goes something like "hey Mic Skills can you __________ for me". "I AM AN ARTIST FIRST!" - I'll say it again - "I AM AN ARTIST FIRST!" I perform a quality live show and put out quality recordings. I have invested and continue to invest large amounts of money, time and energy towards my art form, so please respect me and other artist in this position as well.
Please keep in mine that I'm heavily invested in my career before I can consider investing into any other artist. Mozart didn't drop what he was doing to help Beethoven with his compositions. So if you bring nothing to the table how can you expect to leave with something?
If you feel like I'm talking to you, more than likely I am and you are one of these people who pimped me out in one way or another. Those days are over, I won't be used that way any longer. To those of you that got one over on me, it is what it is. I'm a very giving person and people have taken and will try taking my kindness for weakness, but I won't change who I am. Who I am got me here and its taking me beyond this place to the place I ultimately desire to be.
Take this for what it is and nothing more, Peace.

March 17th - Showcase Showdown @ SXSW
I know its been a while since you last heard from me, but I was busy. Now I'm ready for SXSW to be here already. So much time has been spent planning, rehearsing, booking, coordinating, calling, emailing, texting and every other word ending in "ing" except of sleeping. Everyday feels the same, so why not make everyday great?
Next week will be no different starting day 1 of the SXSW music festival as I join the hundreds of thousands of fans who will flock to Austin, Texas for the annual concerts, events, parties, networking, socializing, etc.
I'm Co-hosting a Kick-off Party with Champion Scion at the Austin Foosball Club. This venue will be transformed for a truly one night only event! There will be an Open Bar (with plenty Drinks from Rain Organics, Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, FireBall Cinnamon Whiskey & More) and plenty of food provided by Tasty Healthy Meals.
Which means FREE Drinks on St. Patrick's Day!
While you get your fill we have a great line-up featuring: Midnight Conspiracy
IB3, The Bamaz, Cerebral Vortex, Shina Rae, T.H.E.M., Zeale, Hero & Rad, jaycee and of course Mic Skills (me!)
Come out, we will be filming the night and remember Drinks on me!
It's your Lucky Day!
