Maybe you too are an independent artist who is trying to find your way through the precincts that make up the vast wasteland of the entertainment industry. wilderness knows the struggle well. We have worked at developing Jesus Johnny for almost fifteen years… starting in earnest with the release of “The Hurt and Healing” in 1998. The experience has had its rewards, none of which have been monetary. So regrettably we are not producing any other projects at this time. Instead, we are committed to focusing 100% of our efforts and resources on the current objective… “Redemption Road”.

We can however, share some of the lessons learned along the way. The “record deal” does not exist. You will NEVER make any money selling CDs. Your recording is an advertisement for your artistry. The more people who are aware of you - increases your marketability. Ticket sales for live shows and merchandising are the revenue generating mediums today. The representation of a good agent is very desirable and can only be achieved if you have a fan base. That’s it… period… the end.

The decision to follow a course in music must first and foremost come from the desire for personal satisfaction, with no connection to monetary gain. Otherwise the resolve could prove MORE DIFFICULT than a degree from Harvard or Princeton, which would ultimately provide the financial rewards desired. Tenacity is important. Keep at it!
