Fantazzmo: Follow Your Dreams, You Only Live Once!

Fantazzmo: Follow Your Dreams, You Only Live Once!

What do you do when you can see the path you're on in life is correct and the materialization of your dreams and goals are within your reach if you just contintue further? When you can see the way you want to live? When you can smell it? When you can feel it? When you get goose bumps and the hairs on your arms stand up?

You go full speed ahead my friends!

You have reached the point where the goal you have imagined and the life you want to lead is straight ahead.

You see, dreamers inspire the world and it only takes one person's enlightenment to change the world. Tomorrow, when you wake up, make it a point to smile and greet EVERYONE you come across. You will feel better, they will feel better, your positive energy and inner beauty will change the world for the better.

Dreamers inspire the world and make it a better place to live by giving us love, music, art & new inventions to enhance the quality of our lives. It is a blessing to be a dreamer, and everyone is a dreamer and has had dreams and ambitions at one point or another. Whether the dream was to have and raise a close loving family, send mankind into orbit, or become a fireman, everyone is a dreamer.

No matter where you are in life in terms of your emotional happiness, emotional intelligence, financial status, career, relationship or social status, you can always dream your way into a better life if you choose. The first step is to see what you describe in your head as the life you want. The second step is to realize you can have that life and you deserve to have that life, and will, if you choose to plan & act towards pursuing it.

I was put on this earth to create and perform music, and spread the love I have in my heart. The pursuit of this endeavor alone brings me happiness.

What are your dreams? What did you want to be as a child? Are you happy?

It's never too late to follow your dreams!

You Only Live Once!!!

Much Love,

Sergio

Fantazzmo: I am addicted to YouTube!

Fantazzmo: I am addicted to YouTube!

I am addicted to YouTube! I am fascinated by it. I wish it was around when I was growing up. I would have loved to see my heroes as much as I want, whenever I want. No use crying over spilled milk, YouTube is here and is the greatest invention since the television! (Yes, I totally bypassed the computer to make my point more blunt.)

I can take guitar lessons with Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Jimmy Hendrix, Dimebag Darrell, Zakk Wylde, the list goes on and on; I am in HEAVEN!

I can get Fantazzmo's music to people around the world! I have the potential to reach as many people as Green Day, U2, Kings of Leon, Led Zeppelin, or the Beatles. I understand that Fantazzmo is not on any major radio stations just yet, but we are now on College Radio stations across the USA. I understand we're not signed to a major record label, have virtually no marketing and promotion budget, and we are not on any mainstream video channels. These points are irrelevant to me, I have access to every computer in the world, now I have to be creative so that people can welcome Fantazzmo into their homes.

I am fascinated that our video for "Superman" has been viewed over 600 times. I understand Fantazzmo will not be on the news for breaking any kind of world record for the amount of hits we've gotten for the "Superman" video, but what fascinates me is that 600+ people have seen the video. I don't even know 600 people! What's funny to me is that some of my friends have not even seen the video yet! So who has? Complete strangers scattered around the world! I find that fascinating. There are people I don't know watching my videos! I know what you're thinking, "that's the whole point" and you're right, Green day doesn't know the 21 Million people that have seen their "21 Guns" video, Kings of Leon doesn't know the 32 Million people that have seen, "Use Somebody."

What excites me is the validation and acceptance of Fantazzmo's music and video. Granted it's on a small scale right now, but Fantazzmo is just starting out, we've only played 2 shows so far. Imagine what the numbers will be once we do a national tour! I can't wait. I am going to enjoy the journey every step of the way and utilize YouTube as much as possible to achieve my goal with Fantazzmo and our music. I LOVE YOUTUBE!!!!

Fantazzmo: Green Day and Kings of Leon

Fantazzmo: Green Day and Kings of Leon

Tone mentioned Kings of Leon are the largest band in the world right now. This was while we were recording "Fantazzmo 1: Enter the Fantazz", and judging by the amount and frequency of YouTube comments and hits, he was right. Tone worked on Green Day's "The Warning" album. He mentioned how huge they are as well and I researched Green Day a little and wow, they are way bigger than I ever imagined.

Both Green Day and Kings of Leon are getting a large amount of daily YouTube hits and comments. Hits are impressive, but for some reason I believe comments are more of an indicator of a band's popularity. These two bands are both currently on tour in 2011 and are both getting fresh comments every hour from around the world! This is a very important point observation worth noting.

So what does this information do for me? How can I apply this information help Fantazzmo grow? The answer is: I can use this information to guage Fantazzmo's popularity and relevance. If people are leaving comments, they care. Vice versa, if there are no comments, there are no fans!

Fantazzmo is a new band. Fantazzmo played its first show February 22, 2011. Fantazzmo currently has no fresh comments on our Youtube site, but we are not on tour and are not signed to a major label. I will however, not justify any shortcomings, nor will I persecute myself for them. Instead, Fantazzmo will work harder than the next band to build a following, to spread the word, to introduce our music to people one by one if we have to.

I believe in the music of Fantazzmo 1000% and will work relentlessly until we too have positive YouTube comments every hour.

Fantazzmo: Strategic Planning

Fantazzmo: Strategic Planning

Fantazzmo has now done its first few shows and I now have realized what I already knew which was: there is no point in dragging my friends from venue to venue to see me play. In other words, we must play different markets or regions and expose ourselves to new people on a constant basis.

Interestingly, we are now turning down shows because they are too close in proximity. Tone, our producer let me know I should only play Los Angeles once a month and he was right! Not that I ever doubted Tone, I just got a little overzealous and booked too many shows in the same county.

We have two scheduled shows coming up. This Saturday March 19, 2011 at the 5 Star Bar in Los Angeles, CA; and April 1, 2011 at Spike's Bar and Grill in Bellflower, CA. These two venues are 25 min apart and the dates are within a two week time period.

Needless, to say, these will be the last two Los Angeles shows until May.

Fantazzmo must and will spread our shows out and play different areas no less than 50 miles apart from each other within a 30 day period.
