OK, here goes... Name: Blake Carpenter Artist Name: GIO Blake makes all kinds of music, from folk to rock to pop, synthwave and prog rock.... GIO is a tradition Goth artist. His music blends atmospheric guitars, cold pulsing rhythms, and apocalyptic desert imagery with the weight of forgotten faiths and romantic despair. I am an underachiever (wink wink) Just to have a few more people hear my music is all I want. Community...that is what I want from this... People who can talk about music and the music biz (instead of anything else). To meet new peeps, make connections, possible colabs. Learn a few things that I may have missed in my almost 40 years in the biz...and all the new stuff about the biz that I have struggled to ignore!

Howdy, I'm wanting to put specific titles to each level members can achieve within the community and I've come up with two options. Option A - Level 1: The Dreamer -- talented but still waiting for something to happen - Level 2: The Awakened -- just realized talent alone isn't enough - Level 3: The Student -- actively learning the business side for the first time - Level 4: The Strategist -- starting to apply frameworks to their career - Level 5: The Builder -- putting real systems and income streams in place - Level 6: The Operator -- running their music career like an actual business - Level 7: The Pro -- earning consistently and thinking long term - Level 8: The Authority -- known in their niche, sought after, not chasing - Level 9: The Sovereign (or Architect) -- fully independent, multiple income streams, on their own terms Option B - Level 1: The Unsigned -- raw talent, no direction, waiting to be discovered - Level 2: The Awakened -- just realized the old model doesn't work - Level 3: The Indie -- taking ownership, learning to operate independently - Level 4: The Session Player -- showing up consistently, building their craft and business together - Level 5: The Headliner -- stepping into a leadership role in their own career - Level 6: The Label -- thinking like a business, not just an artist - Level 7: The Crossover -- breaking through into real professional territory - Level 8: The Executive -- running their music career with authority and strategy - Level 9: The Icon -- fully realized, independent, and on their own terms Let me know what you think by voting in the poll.

@Thomas Crawford I get what you are trying to do here and I don't think you should not do it, just know that some people might take offense and walk.
