RE: A Contest In Honor of my 4000 Follower Milestone... Remember When I Hit 1000 Followers in 23 Days?

in #contest7 years ago

Hey. I feel fulfill all the criteria required and I have more than 2 hours to dedicate to steemit per day. I'm currently working as a self employed music producer.

I've been blogging about two broad topics:
Firstly, empowering up and coming artists to make a decent income and a big impact with their music while equipping them with the knowledge to be able to protect their work. I also touch on the mindset of a typically creative person and try to put words and stories to the complex emotions creators feel.

My second topic is an eye condition I have called Keratoconus. I was blessed to be able to have procedures done on my eyes to halt its progression. I use it in some of my posts to drive certain messages home. I try not to be too blatant about it, but my hope is that I raise awareness for the condition. Over the past 3 years I've met 3 artists with the condition through my posts and I'm about to start work on a studio album with one of those artists.

With the new knowledge I would gain from you, I would apply those points to what I do here on Steemit as well as my blog to grow the audience further, get more artists to start earning a decent income and also over the long-term hopefully get the attention of a high profile musician like August Alsina or Gramatik who have keratoconus to share their stories as well as make music together.

Sort:  

Haven't heard about Keratoconus so far or that Gramatik has it, but definitely you've raised my awareness about it. I like his futuristic jazzy style in the same way I like your idea of empowering others. Lots of success with it!! Like to see it growing! You've got a new #follower from Catalunya :)

Yeah. I was shocked when I read it. Nice to meet you


Ahh.. that's why he often wears sunglasses!? Can't believe he's so famous now. I remember when he was an underdog on soundcloud - like Major Lazer. Now they're all establishment & we are the next generation of underdogs 8)
But isn't it difficult to do all this screen work when mastering,...?@adriansilas: nice to meet you, too!

It used to be very difficult. Saved up for little implants (damn expensive) that help correct the shape of my eyes. Then I had another procedure to essentially lock the shape in place. Now I wear contact lenses and have almost perfect vision with them on.

Excellent! Thank you for your entry!

Wonderful meeting you , by the way :)

Good luck!

Yeah likewise and thank you.
