Yvonne - have to say, I had a great time in Canada and have love for y’all up there. Especially Trademark, Boogie Woogie, and Boogie Man, who all have the same Canadian IP and have shown me the most love on this blog by holding the all-time record for most comments on NS4LIFE.com.

Hey Mr. Lesie,
A few questions for you? When is Cassie’s “Me & U” video coming out? Any confirmed date?
Do you have any video’s out of your own. Your songs are hot?
Curious Question, what does it take to be a artist’s PR manager?
Let me know, you can e-mail me @ any time.
P.S. Got to love you representing Canada… what what!!!!
Take Care,
Jane

yo!, I can’t say enough but thank you for sharing on your experanices on how to make it in the industry of entertainment. You guys especially Mr. Leslie are the BIGGEST influences to me right now. I opened my company in PR (2yrs and running!) and I write also, it’s a real cutt throat industry out there. (LA) Ya really gotta keep up on your toes!. My question is to you is how do you keep up the grind without getting distracted and discourage and how do you know who to trust without getting PUNKED!
Sincerly Frustrated,
Karen

Hey ryan, what’s really good? ..your website is tight still ..your so lucky that you have a chance to work with some of the top artists and your one of the most talented people i know because your the one who also puts everything together for an artist for there album. You got an amazing voice freal and you need to drop a record soon and show some of these artists how its done. Aight Keep It Real and Do What You Do Best ..Imma come back for more updates 2.

Hello,
I am the manager of a young girl group, by the name of 2G. The girls are going to the studio to record a demo record on 03/10/06. I would like to know how I can submit their demo to you RYAN for your review.
Monday, July 31st, 2006 at 11:49 am
I wanted to bring it to your attention that the nextselection@gmail.com is returning emails. Maybe its full but just wanted you to know because I get a feeling you are very sincere in your efforts to help up and coming producers and songwriters. And if people keep getting emails returned it may seem other wise. I know you guys got your hands full with alot of stuff, but I thought you would want to know.
Thanks and let me know when that’s cleared up so I can send you some material.
Thanks

Big up Ryan !!!
My name is Nexx i’m a Artist / Producer from Congo livin’ in Cologne/germany
i must really say that U are a Man of the Future , because U understood that da future of the muzik iz da “internet” !!!
The whole nextselection lifestyle project + the blogs and the lil’ videoz U do, are really great !
U give us anotha view and perspective of the bizz and the Production process !!!
We really thank U 4 that !!!
And as I can see here on this blog and on your myspace site, U are gettin flood with mails! No wonder coz u are a muzik genius!!!
But i still hope that U can answer me in anyway !!!
My Question would be :
U said in one of your reachback answers, that as a artist we should be ready 2 give away some of our songz like U did with “hot 2night” 4 New Edition ! I agree 100%!!!
But how can i, as an artist ,protect me from gettin jerked and tricked !!! Coz my crew and me, made some real bad expierences with fake labels & Producers ( that’s actuallythe reason why we do everything by ourselves now ) !! lol !!!
We were broke that’s why couldn’t sue these people !!
but we learned a lot !!
But still,
which advise would you give to newcomers without a deal ???
What can they do 2 protect theirselves ???
Mad Respect !!!
