Capstone Zulu Becomes Simply Called Paul Talks

I am Frank Paul Jones the real Paul Castellano aka Gambino and in entertainment Capstone Zulu, is this hard to follow? Well most of my life, I was simply known as Paul to friends and family and to some in the business world, I was known as Frank. To be honest my luck in the music business was null. I lost money and never gained any to lose what I made.

I used ReverbNation as a distributor and made less than a dollar in royalties and got no radio play and I was number one for almost a year in my area. It seems nobody likes my music but me, if it comes to purchasing it. Personally, I think some of the stuff is slamming. All N all however it was a good ride, as it gave me something to concentrate on. I can say I learned a lot in the process about DAW technology, but I cannot help that my ear is old school and East Coast-New York-Style and I am in Florida now whereby they listen a loud yelling set of simplistic booms, with heavy bass drums and know lyrical content concerning bettering the world. I cannot do that!

I just made a new set of songs, the album is to be called Smooth Gangster, sounds criminal? That is only to suck you in! I am not ready to release it as it has to be fixed up a lot with collaborations. Also, my plans are to help my nephew with his projects in the near future and for myself go into the paralegal trade as well to eat as I am a legal assistant by education and work my on profit organization to the fullest. For me music will have to be a business venture and artistic ventures come a close second.

This album will be managed differently. The first album I put out “The Apostle” was a test for the release of Stackz Gotti “I AM Me.” That album also did not get any support down here as well and she decided not to push it herself because of this local opinion. I was disappointed by this. I plan to make a few more songs with her, but the sound she wants I simply cannot hear it coming consistently from me. She wants a sound I am having a problem producing to be honest. Her album was not heard on a wide scale and can still be pushed and has contemporary appeal as it is about the lyrical content we put into it that is still relevant.

My problem is not my sound in my opinion, though I am a one man band, producer and engineer. But that will change with my nephew and The PTS Unit Support. My problem is the business end and the lack of funds to approach the business of music with a vengeance. Everything about me is real, I a not a front for a drug dealer. I am the president of a non profit organization called the National Community Network and Coalition of Highlands, INC. We have a $125 building needing roof work and cannot even get that done, which would be the home of our future non profit record company. So keeping it real, it is not all good.

So I try to multitask, mixing music production and business ventures together, but until my team aligns and unites, it is really an ugly ride. Let us hope that the Blue Temple Headquarters which has a bad leak does not fall apart before they dare able to pitch in. I sleep uneasy every night worrying about the roof leak and fear the forecast of rain.
