There is no special way in!

Sometimes I just want to answer....you might try to google it? I got a question about recommendations for mastering. I gave the artist two studios that are good to check out. Direct comes...can you send their contact info?
I actually don't have that in my head, so it means I have to google the damn stuff. So I wrote back, google it.
Then it came back, yes but I thought if there was some special address we needed. They usually don't answer our emails.

I guess then it doesn't matter what I give you tip off on. The reason why they don't answer is usually that the email is stupid. The address is usually correct, no one wants to miss something so the correct email is usllay on the page. The problem is what you write.

I get too many emails with just a link to a song. Or some strange message that the person loves music and maybe whats to be an artist. These emails are really not a high priority to answer. same here if you write with a very unclear message the chances to not get an answer is a kind of high. But there is really not a secret account where you get answers even on strange messages.

I just got an answer from the highs person on the radio, she reads all my emails but answers may be on one out of hundred. And when she answers it's usually because I have written something interesting and she needs some info or extra.

So if you don't get an answer it usllay you didn't write anything that was interesting for the moment. Or the song was not good enough, or good enough and they have all info around it.

Forget that there are special ways.

Genre shitmusic. We are not a genre, we play what we like!

Well, when people say that I put in them in the undefined shit genre. There you have the artists that are just artsy fartsy and think it's a good reason to be in their own genre.

In fact, when you listen to these band they usually fit in a specific genre better than a band that says they fit pop. They are afraid that the genre would lock them up. Instead, it's this thought of freedom that locks them up in the genre shitmusic

You are free to play a folk song on a metal concert. One of Sweden’s most famous punk bands did that and was very successful. Still, you are mainly metal so the genre would be that anyway.

If you change the style on every song you play you are in the vaudeville genre, so you are still in a genre.

You will be placed in a box whatever you like it or not. No point of fighting it. It's a way for people to describe what you sound like, it's not stopping you to play what you want to play.

So pick one of the main genres is probably gonna get you more freedom then saying that you don't fit in any genre.

Most artists that still claim to be so special that no genre applies to them usually sound the same so many that work in the industry knows what I mean by the shitgenre.

Here they play every song as different as possible. The strange part is that that make them sound like the others who do the same. In fact, they are so many that it is a genre to say you're not fitting a genre.
