“When I'm in Los Angeles, it's hard to be creative. For me, New Orleans is one of those places that's like a muse. You can hear music on the streets. There's a certain character the city has that inspires you when you're needing to write lyrics and come up with melodies and come up with rhythm and blues. The city has a pulse and it's an inspiration for me.” WritingHardCharacterInspirationCertainCitiesCreativeStreetsInspireCome UpRhythmLos AngelesMelodyMuseBe CreativeNew OrleansPulseRhythm And Blues Author:Chris Thomas King
“The tax incentives are things the music business can emulate. If I own Yesterday by the Beatles and I go to a bank and try to borrow $10,000 and use that song as collateral, they wouldn't know what to do. They would run me out of the bank. Whereas if we get specialized people who know how to appraise the value of intellectual property like songs, catalogs and master recordings, they know how to put some type of value on it. They have this in Nashville and Los Angeles. New Orleans is just starting to get it.” PeopleIfsKnowsTryingUseRunningValuesSongKnow HowMastersTypeTaxesIntellectualPropertyStartingYesterdayLos AngelesNew OrleansIncentivesMusic BusinessEmulateNashvilleIntellectual PropertyCollateralAppraise Author:Chris Thomas King
