salesman, selling knives from door to door. That way, I gathered money
to pay for studio recording time. I was recording with a close friend at
that time.
“After making that music, we printed a thousand CDs though we didn’t
have any fan. I had one battered car that broke down virtually
everywhere, so, we would print black and white posters, stick them on
the sides of the car, sell from the car’s trunk and drive to salons to
do marketing. We would walk to the owners of the salons, greet politely,
and ask them to let us entertain their customers. Sometimes, some would
kick us out and sometimes some would say yes. If told yes, after
singing for a minute or two, we would sell our CDs to the customers!”
