Unauthorized Copying, Streaming or Downloading of Music is a CRIME! - STOP IT!
What most people may not fully understand is that creating, writing, recording, and producing Music is not simply a passion, but a Business as well.
Artists such as Quintin Gerard W. and others devote many long hours and resources into producing and recording Music.
A $0.99 Download may not seem like much, however if you multiply that times the number of people who follow Quintin Gerard W. and other artists alike, those funds can quickly add up, or better yet, NOT add up and jeopardize subsequent future releases!
Think about it this way, what if a recording artist came to your place of business and asked for the products/services you sell for free...what would you say?
Well, it's the same thing when someone Copies, Streams, or Downloads Music illegally. When this happens, it is essentially the same as walking into the Artist's place of Business and STEALING from the Artist(s) and their families!
Be it known that many Musician's, Actors, Comedians, and stage performers aren't multi-millionaires. They are hard working people simply trying to make a living at what they do by grinding out opportunities like everyone else. It is important that each of us become an advocate to pay for music and not seek out ways or methods to get it for free.
Yes, copying CD's, file sharing, or Illegally downloading and streaming "tunes" is a criminal offense, but even more so it is simply down right unethical.
-The revenue(s) generated from the sales of Music help finance future projects, and are not simply used to "make artist(s) rich and keep everybody else poor!" Besides, everyone will feel good about themselves and the music will sound better knowing that we all paid for it!
-Sincerely,
Quintin Gerard W.

I will buy the CD and will soon be listening and sharing with my friends... I searched the internet for more information and wanted to pass on encouragement. It has been a long time since a song has moved me so... Thank you!”

"...Quintin Gerard W. delighted my clients when he performed at the Jazz Brunch in honor of Edythe B. His solo performance and duet with Chaka Kahn was beautiful and memorable. So when I was asked to coordinate the home going services for Edythe B. a few years later the family insisted on Quintin performing his hit "Days We Remember." While my decor and delicate handling of the service was beautiful, Quintin's sweet, calming and assuring sounds took the family back to that special birthday celebration. His performance held the memories of their hearts of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Beautiful and flawless performance. We thank you on behalf of the family and our team at LaNell Designs."
