G - The music submission process is simple. I listen to everything and respond to the music that works best for the projects I am working on. Responding to every submission would require writing thousands of personal e-mails. While I would love to have the luxury of time to do this, I must attend to the business of NextSelection just as you attend to the business of your production company. Keep in mind - I run my business and still manage to edit and post a new vid for everyone 5 days a week. Your understanding is appreciated. The Reachback is real. The people are real. The answers are real. If you did not receive a response to your tracks, they are outside of the realm of my current projects and I encourage you to continue to submit music to us for evaluation. God bless.

Ok I can respect what you are saying . I mean u must know the struggle ryan that’s why you decided to release material in europe. You wanted to build a following that was undeniable. I can dig it but understand that this business is not always run by creative people that see visions and want to take a chance. I was hoping that you were willing to take that chance. but i see much like you i have to build that following also and make you and a lot of this industry realize that they just plain fuggged up by not putting me on while i was cheap and on the come up. Trust me ryan ill see you when i see you. and ill remind you … OOOOps

Hey Ryan I waz wondering when r we gonna hear something from u on da solo tip?
Tuesday, March 14th, 2006 at 8:15 am
Hey Ryan, I’m 18 and from the UK and I found you through myspace and I have to say… I’m addicted to this blog you’re doin’! You’re so refreshing and inspiring. I’m a singer/songwriter and have got a lot of interest from record people, even been through a 2 yr courtcase where I was being sued by my former manager… He was an ass!
Anyways, keep on being you and making great music, that’s what it’s all about :o) Your songs are so goooooooood!! I’m gonna buy your album asap!! Right, kinda rambling now but just wanted to say hi and that I’ll be back to keep up to date with your lifestyle… and what a mighty fine one it is…. Love Vic
P.S. Cassie… you’re f*a*b!!

I know you already annointed, but G-d is just gonna keep blessin’ u for putting out so much love. I appreciate it. DO YOUR THING, badboy, sky is the the limit 4 u.
