Thesixtyone.com is my new preference for listening to music over Grooveshark. While I do love using Grooveshark and being able to have the ability to check out pretty much any song I ever could imagine and then being able to save those songs on to a playlist, I rarely use Grooveshark to break out from my typical music and find new stuff. This is where thesixtyone comes into play.
Being sick of the same old stuff, I discovered thesixtyone and started on my musical adventure. The interface of the site just recently changed, so I still am getting used to it,...

“I went on there without any expectations or intentions for it to be a marketing tool, because I’ve never perceived YouTube to be that, I saw it as an outlet for entertainment and for me to share my music....
There are good things and not so good things that come with having a father who's been to stardom and whose name is already etched on the face of music history. One of the good things is that it is easier to follow the father's footsteps; it's like having the road that leads to stardom already laid out for you, all you need to do is follow it. Becoming a star is easier when one's parent has been one. The downside is that it is not that easy to build a name of your own. We've seen many artists who've lived under the shadow of their fathers' names...
