I have been an independent artist all my life so I want to share a few thoughts about my life in general and what I learnt to show what it means to be an independent artist to give others an idea what such life is like. I think the focus is on the word independent which means you don't have any backbone or a net which can catch you when you fall. This gives music and the way you express music a different vibe and you see music and they way you work with music in a total different way. On of my principles in my work as an independent artist always was that you have to touch people's emotions with your art because then people see a value in your work and then they hire you, or want to talk or interact with you and if you work independant you need to accept that you might never be able to reach the very big stages because if you want to you need to have other skills, like networking, socializing and these normal business things. I always found that if I went too deep into that world I lost my abilities to create music which touches the soul of people and so I personally decided to go the other way but as a consequence you need to be better then the others to reach fans just by the quality of your art. This way is the harder way but maybe the more honest way and it serves music most and for me personally this was always first - to serve music and to reach the highest level of emotional musical expression and the life of an independent artist supports this.

I have now renamed the " Students Club " Tab in the HPCrazy Students Club to " Topics " - thats more understandable for everybody now I think. Thats the place where all students can add there own topics which they like to share or to discuss.
