The Plan - Updates & Questions

Hello everyone!

We are so incredibly happy with all the love and support we are receiving on this wonderful platform. Especially the love we've received on the #openmic hosted by

Hive account@pfunk &

Hive account@luzcypher. When we joined Steemit we did it as a trial. We wanted to see what all the hype was about after Chris' cousin

Hive account@lolosarts recommended it to us. Soon after, a wonderful Steemian called

Hive account@scuzzy was kind enough to show us the ropes and put us on to things like Discord and Dsound. We will always be grateful to nice people like this who help, expecting nothing in return. Fast forward to now, we're on here actually getting our music heard and connecting with a bunch of other great folks from all around!

Before we joined, however, we were already on our own path of the Indie musician. We had already released 5 singles, one of which was featured on Apple Music's Beats1Radio with Ebro Darden. This same song landed us an interview with none other than

Hive account@indiemusicplus who were really the first real Indie Blog to show love, something we will always have in our hearts. You could imagine the joy we felt when we found them on here too! Though these singles were very fun to make and to this day still some of our beloved songs, we had a back catalog (most of which you can hear in demo form on our soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/break-out-the-crazy) which still hadn't been released officially for sale on any platform. This is why we decided to put together an EP with a few of the favorites from that pile. These 4/5 songs are being remixed and remastered for optimal sound quality and are all in a genre of their own (hence our group's name) since they were never really intended to form part of an album with a concept, simply just songs we wrote. This is usually how we approach songwriting, which is very liberating and fun for us as you could imagine. The new EP will be named after "Pause Rewind" a favorite song of fans who have regularly seen our live performances here in NY. We felt the title fully encapsulates what it is we're trying to do with this small collection of jams from the past.

Anyway, now comes the part where we throw some questions at you guys to see what you think and help pave this journey with us. We tried uploading our 1st single/video "Hold On" (which is also up on Youtube) to Dtube and Dsound so we can have all the same stuff everywhere but didn't get a lot of traffic going to them. View past posts:

We're currently using

Hive account@atomcollector to help get some traffic there and to our other music links (we highly recommend it if you're an Indie artist). It is working, little by little, but it is working.

Question #1 - Should we continue to upload all our other music to Dtube/Dsound even if they aren't getting many views/plays? Or should we keep our Dtube/Dsound content Exclusive to the Dtube/Dsound/Steemit network?

Question #2 - Could we sell our upcoming EP - "Pause Rewind" and make it available to purchase with the Steem currencies/Bitcoin/Ethereum/$Indie/Musicoin? Should we? How exactly would that work?

Question #3 - Do you enjoy these kind of posts where we talk a bit or should we stick to simply musical content?

Question #4 - We also have some videos of past live performances, should we upload all this stuff to Dtube even if it isn't new?

Question #5 - Which hashtags or bloggers should we tag aside from #openmic and #music when uploading new music posts?

That will be all on this one, we hope to get some responses. Anything will be greatly appreciated as we are new to this and want to make the most efficient use of this growing platform. We really feel that this is the beginning of a big revolution and we are proud to be a part of it. Thank you all!

Stay Crazy!

-Chris & Katya

P.S. We will not be joining in on the Open Mic this week as we have been busy with some gigs. Also, tomorrow we will be flying to Los Angeles to perform at the premiere of the new movie "Overboard" (remake of the classic romantic comedy with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell). We will be singing and playing a song titled "Lejos De Ti" which is not only in the movie during a pivotal scene but is also included in the movie soundtrack. We didn't write it, it was written by the person who brought us into this project, the veteran producer Andres Levin. We're super grateful to him for inviting us to form part of this. It should bring some new listeners and exposure to what we're doing, hopefully. The soundtrack isn't out yet but is available for pre-order here:

As soon as we get back though, we'll get right back into the open mic with some more original music we can't wait to share with you all!
