Quote of the Week

If you ask yourself why ARTISTS  (DJs, singers, dancers, musicians or anyone who falls under the artist category) charge "so much" for performances... 
We don't get paid vacation, we don't get paid sick days, we don't get bonuses for outstanding performances nor for Christmas. We don't have insurance plans nor do we qualify for unemployment. We sacrifice our family on special days so that we can bring happiness to others. Illness or personal affairs are not excuses for a bad performance. Next time you ask, remember that ARTISTS are ARTISTS because of the love of music & art but that love doesn't pay debts.
- Antonio Faria

  1. geez, can''t be more agreed! sometimes people just don't understand that this kind of "work" needs a lot of energy, they should perform no matter what and how, even in a heart broken.
