  • I was fresh out of college so was very susceptible to anyone calling for an interview invite. Got a call from a company I didn’t recognize and I was too innocent to not question how they even got my number. I dressed up and everything, brought my resume, etc. When I arrived, there was a bunch of us and then there was a presentation.

    Yep, you guessed it, it was an MLM. It was the mid 2000s, so it wasn’t really well known as an MLM or pyramid scheme at the time. Hell, I couldn’t even understand why I was sitting through a presentation and not doing an interview. I realized it wasn’t a job when they started asking for money to commit. Barely 20 me still didn’t realize it’s a scam, but fortunately I literally had no money so couldn’t offer anything either way lol. After a lot of prodding, they finally let me go if I wrote down the names and number of 5 people I know. Then I realized that’s how they got my number. Someone in my circle went through the same thing and gave my contact info away.












  • Currently in a rut with recording new music. I have a collab with a guitarist friend and we have 9 unfinished songs that have been sitting for almost a year now. Home ownership really did a number on my music-making time. There’s just always something to do or something to fix that I can’t find the time to dedicate a couple of uninterrupted hours to record music. Compare that to 3-4 years ago where I was able to release 2 albums and 2 EPs in a span of 3 years.

    On the other hand, I’m looking forward to acquiring my own 8-string guitar soon so I no longer need to rely on collabs to get guitars on my music. I’m primarily a keyboardist and I make prog/industrial music.
