Take a
moment to get straight to the roots of this company.
Since I (14K.) have to write this bio. about myself, I will be honest to self as
well as those who know me.......... So if you wish to take a short trip to see what's going on in my
mentals....then read on......
Everything that I do or say has more than one meaning. This is done by design
because those that can't see pass the obvious will settle for the first meaning
of what they see or hear. For those that are not afraid to use their
minds.......they will see a deeper side that the mentally-challenged are blind
to. Take the name "14K" most will think that it's just some rap
name that I came up with to make people think of me as gold. Well, that's for
the first group I just spoke about {mentally- challenged}. Try "One for Knockin' (boots &
beats, my favorite hobbies). Get it? 1-4-K. Also one for Koolin'-
out, Kuttin records, and Killin' time. Now do the math and follow me on this
short trip.

The
person who says it can't be done.....
shouldn't
interrupt the person who is doing it! -14K |
For years I've been in music in some form. I've played it, re-created it,
researched it, read about it, and most important.....lived it. Now here's
where the plot thickens. Everyone that has came to me with the desire and love for
what I do.....always receive a warm welcome from me. I show them short-cuts and
tricks to things that might have taken me months to learn.
I explain things to
people.....all the DO's & DON'Ts of the business with my infamous
examples and I always leave them with the impression that ......"Anything
is Possible." What usually happens next is shocking to me, but I've learn
to accept it as a part of life......... Are you
curious? Read on...........>>>>>
These people usually soak up just enough to feel comfortable and decide to move
on and start their own thing. That's only natural, but for some reason they want
to talk down about me and what I'm trying to do at the time. These people spread
false rumors and tell others that I don't know what I'm doing, but seem to try
to do everything that I had mentioned to them while they were soaking.

So after this has happen so many times, you're probably thinking that I should
wise up and keep my mouth closed, right? Well now you're beginning to see my
biggest down-fall, I can't ! I try to be a positive person to everyone
that I come in contact with and show them that with the right amount of energy,
they can do anything that they set out to do. Now if you are smarter than the
average, you're probably beginning to see the 2nd meaning that I
was speaking of. My main objective whether we are successful as a records label
or not; is to show all of those that are a part of this label that doing things at
the best of your ability is all that counts, and only putting in 50% is
un-acceptable. In other words, how can someone only put 50% effort and
expect to get 100% in return? To me....putting in 50% means you're doing a "Half-Ass" job! (Excuse my language).
Don't get me wrong, we are not running some youth home with the name of a record
label attached to it. Our artists do have talent, but getting some of our
artists to understand that there is more involved to a label than recording
vocals has been my biggest challenge. That is why sometimes I feel that I'm the
most misunderstood person connected with this label. I sometimes think that I
have a handicap of seeing visions of where we should be going months
ahead of time rather
than it being a gift.
I try to explain it to people who can't seem to
believe in anything that they can't reach out and touch. So when I'm not present
a few think that I'm crazy and just a big dreamer. Then someone comes along and
does whatever it was that I was talking about and suddenly everyone
understands........that's depressing!

Now for
all that read the whole story......it's now time for you to get out of my
mind! I can't tell you everything, plus you're probably
a stranger to me. The most important thing you should know about me: I get what
I go after and never do I give up! So at this point if you haven't heard
of Izmi-Mikon Records, chances are that you will. Maybe the planets haven't
lined up just right yet. When they do........the Mic. will stay on ! ! !
