TT Vutton speaks his mind
In his own words:
I believe South Africa has fake musicians, who bite music from hungry musicians and still fail to release good music to music lovers, who are listening and that is the reason why record companies are stuck with musicians who fail to make a profit.
I spent over 15 years fighting for airplay in my own country and I never received it, but the Lord came in for me. I do this for my life and believe that all the young musicians who want to make it in life should consider doing everything themselves and stop depending on radio stations to playlist their music because that space belongs to family members of the people who either run the Radio station or work there.
I was able to become A well-established underground artist via internet and knowing what to say on a good record and also applying marketing and communication skills that assisted me in my journey.
In the end I said f it, I’m going to keep writing good music for the ones who are paying attention.
It feels good knowing I sincerely recorded Timeless music that will still sound like it's new in the next 10 years and for life. My DNA is amazing, and I believe one day I'll be brought back to finish what I started in this lifetime through researchers who went the extra mile to find me and my music.
I thank all those who were with me in the events of my hustle.
I take time when I work on my music because to me it's all about delivery, I can't wait for fame!!!
I didn't get mine like I wanted but I got it better than everyone because of the gift that the Lord was able to offer me since age 7.
Fame belongs to musicians who get signed by big and major independent record companies and still fail to make a good sale.
My people and fans should always expect another release from me
It doesn't matter how long it takes, with the Lord on my side anything is possible.
