Right now, in your head, imagine Leonardo da Vinci. What does his life look like? How do you picture him in your head? I'll tell you who I picture: someone alienated or isolated from society, obscurely exploring his own eccentric ideas, not caring what anyone thinks. He falls blindly into the depths of his creativity, and when he finds the bottom he digs further down that bleak, colorful Historically accurate? Of course not. But you might react positively or negatively to that image or artistic success. Do you agree, or is that dumb as rocks? Either way you know something more about yourself.

His website is a bit hokey (Flaming guitars? Seriously?), but his program really shows independant artists how to get a leg-up on signed Get people to listen to your music. You need a good input (philosophy) if you want a good output (music), and once you have that output, you are going to want everyone to know about that output (marketing).  Do you want to learn how to make creativity second nature, SO THAT WHEN YOU GO TO WRITE MUSIC, IT JUST FLOWS OUT OF YOU?
