Game Changer:
Advancements in Technology has had an immeasurable impact on the Global marketplace. In virtually every industry. The internet, in particular, has broken down many barriers to conducting business. The cost of importing and exporting goods and services has been drastically reduced, thereby extinguishing the competitive edge. These advancements have also shaken this up in the Arts world.
You see, when it comes to the Music industry, labels and Image are much more valued than the music itself. So it’s not surprising when bonafide musicians, singers and composers are discouraged from jumping into the Music “Market”. Well, as it turns out, time and technology have finally leveled the playing field. The barriers and exclusivity of the Record Label are all but torn down – like the Wall in Berlin. Today, anyone wanting to express themselves through their Art can do so, without permission or executive approval. In this, the age of Youtube, Blogging and Social Networking, the stage is set for self expression and promotion. Yes, it's a little crowded, but the possibilities are limitless!

Imagine: In the Middle of the busiest intersection of New York City, there he sat playing his Upright Piano on wheels. To the delight of Tourists - likely shuffling to-and-from Macy's or Victoria's Secret. The sheer Audacity of this Musician to plant himself in the middle of Herald Square,where continuous crowds of people and cars pass through.
This, my friends, is the very essence of doARTorDIE!
