Who’s one person, dead or alive, that you’d want to work with?

Do you want a record deal, a distribution deal, or none?

“A record deal would be pretty ideal and would help open a lot of doors for me but what I feel would be best for me at this point would just be an investor. I’m pretty self sufficient but with an investor I can focus more of my time of working on my craft and my art more.”
