“Networking is key. Stop worrying about protecting your little circle or clique & start realizing that whatever you put out there comes back to you. Think small, stay small. Expand your circle as much as you can. The more you help & do for others, the more you find success in more ways than one, also from within.

The world would be a better place if we did & acted this way all together and every day.” - Opus Break When I’m Dead chronicles Opus and his trials and tribulations through touring, recording, and writing music, as well as his stint as a reality show star and the journey of being a father through an uncertain era of politics and a pandemic.

When a mix of ideas and influences with no common theme or spirit, apart from one of desperation, becomes one of the most well-known bands of the 90s ... Mike Edwards is the singer, guitarist, and primary songwriter for the British alternative-rock band, Jesus Jones. Among having multiple chart-topping hits, releasing several albums throughout the last 3 decades, and being awarded Best New Band at the MTV Music Awards in 1991, Jesus Jones are widely known for their #1 international hit, "Right Here, Right Now." Jesus Jones continues to tour and record, now with a renewed vigor after being able to control their own destiny, freed from the grips of major labels. Mike’s debut novel, Death Threats from an Eight-Year-Old, chronicles how fast a band that is number one everywhere in the world can plummet from the good graces of the press, labels, radio, MTV, and even so-called diehard fans. A true introspective about the cutthroat music business told through the eyes and words of a man who experienced fronting one of the most well-known bands of their time, to finding his band label-less and shunned in a blink of an eye.

One hundred sixty shows, two rushed recording sessions, a reunion with an old band, and a Hail Mary shot at a comeback represent the tip of the iceberg of my twenty-year journey with Chuck Mosley. Chuck (Faith No More, Bad Brains, Cement) toured the globe as a vocalist, appeared on magazine covers, rubbed elbows with idols, and, through it all, he remained 100% convinced he didn’t deserve your praise. Yet, he desired acceptance more than almost anything else. A self-proclaimed “junkie and a liar,” Chuck shot himself in the foot over and over by shooting up elsewhere on his body. Meanwhile, I stumbled and fumbled and pushed and pulled and scraped and cried and begged and borrowed to ear...
