For My First Blog Post, I Want To Begin By Giving A Shoutout To My Friend, My Brother, My Mentor - DougieOTB - Platinum Music Producer Currently Signed To Sony Music Publishing. Without him, I would have never discovered my talents beyond being a music producer and I would have quit all of this years ago!
For those of you who dont know me My name is Will Cellus - A&R For Platinum Producer DougieOTB.
I wanted to write a short post that explained who I am, what I’ve helped other artist and producers accomplish in the industry, etc. I think I’ll save that for a post in the future. If you are an artist or producer interested in my professional services to grow your fanbase and sales, this isn’t the post you are looking for. Feel free to join my channel for FREE Resources To Grow Your Fanbase, (Link only works on mobile sorry) while i work on relaunching my official website! This first blog post is more of a journal entry that im letting you guys in on.

Conclusion
I’ve been doing Brazilian Ju Jitsu & Boxing. Focusing On Maximizing My Contributions As A&R To DougieOTB and the vision. A a few of my bills are paid in advance. My savings accounts and investments are growing. I cant complain in those areas. Things are different though. The house is alot quieter when I come home. I try to remain appreciative of the success I’ve been having recently. Sometimes accomplishments can seem not as exciting as when they once did. Lucky for me, I know these times will pass because I’ve been here before. Several times in fact. I think something is different this time. I think I learned my lesson and I’ll finally be able to do more then just survive this time around. I think I might actually thrive. In music. In business. In relationships and in life. Sometimes the world can have you f*#ked up. So can people. Thats when you gotta turn up the most! Never Give Up On Your Dreams!
I could have went deeper into alot of different things but I wanted to keep things cool and simple for my first blog post. For those of you who want to know more about Will Cellus - A&R For DougieOTB like, comment and share your thoughts on my first blog and stay tuned for my next post!
