minus-squareadam_yEnglisharrow-up54arrow-down0·4 months agolinkfedilinkI once made a music video for Sony Universal. They paid me £4k. They liked it a lot and asked if I would do another. I asked if the fee was the same and they said I’d be doing it for exposure. I told them I’m capable of exposing myself. I stuck it to them. I’m still poor, but at least I’m not working for it.
