Nicholas Wayne McNamee was born July 20, 1983 in Kingston Jamaica. Growing up in a less than middle class environment at the age of 14 he had the opportunity to move to Brooklyn New York and later moving again to Prince George’s County Maryland. At the age of 17 a neighborhood friend Don Juan, introduced him to the art of rap. He began making homemade CD's with friends from his Capital Heights neighborhood. Booyang, D.C. Don Juan, Big Tyme and Da General who is now known as MrWindowz, later formed the group Baak Streetz. The Baak Streetz music debut was a summer 2004 album titled “We Hurt”. The album was an instant hit in Maryland with songs such as “Them Guys in the club” and “Come roll with me”. With this success the group knew they could achieve more but life had other plans. Running into legal problems in early 2005, MrWindowz was incarcerated for drug possession. After release in late 2005, the group members decided to go there separate ways and MrWindowz begin his solo career. His first solo album, a mix-tape called M2M (Move to Make) was released in summer 2006 with an underground hit titled “Notorious” and “In the club”. The highly anticipated M2M Vol. 2 was released in summer 2008. This release stirred up a great response with several hits such as “2 Gunz Blazin” and “C4 Soldiers”. Traveling the D.C music scene, MrWindowz performed in several night clubs and open Mic nights across the area generating a more stable fan base. Deciding to take a short break from the music business, MrWindowz collaborated with several other Artists in the Washington Area. Still having that thirst in late 2009, MrWindowz headed back to the studio and in 2010 dropped his 3rd mix tape titled “The Ice Show”.

Do You Really Want A Major Label Deal?
Do You Really Want A Major Label Deal?
This guest post comes from Robin Davey, a musician, artist and Head of Music and Film Development at GROWVision Media.
A recent survey suggested that 75% of artists are still chasing that ever-elusive major deal. This shows the credulity of bands, rather than the shimmering prospects that a major can offer.
At this stage of my career I have signed to two major labels and a bevy of independents, and I can tell you this from experience - you are a long way from “making it” at the time of inking a deal. Even when the advances used to be respectable, it would only set you up for a few months at best. After that you better be earning money independently of the record label, because it’s a long wait until that next advance is available.

Even when the advances used to be respectable, it would only set you up for a few months at best. After that you better be earning money independently of the record label, because it’s a long wait until that next advance is available.
When you take into account the cost of recording an album, paying a producer, giving your manager 20%, and splitting what remains of the advance between your band members, you can kiss goodbye those aspirations of putting an Escalade in the drive way. In fact you will be lucky to be able to afford to fix the oil leak in your Ford Focus.
The 360 deal further exemplifies this notion. If the majors take a piece of everything, the artist loses an even bigger portion of their lifeline when it comes to everyday survival.
A CATCH 22 SITUATION
In the current climate, the only way you will gain any major label attention is if you are already achieving a level of independent success. This is the catch 22 that the 75% of bands - who are still eager to pursue the major route - just don’t get.
If you already have independent success, why would you want to go to a major?
This is also what is weighing down the majors; they can no longer take the risk of signing every act with potential, and they cannot offer a lucrative incentive for those who are already proving themselves in the independent market.
With services like Topspin and Bandcamp, it is now easy to sell direct to your fan base. High visibility in the marketplace and accessibility to new followers are also far more obtainable without the need of industry muscle. As a result you have the prospect of earning substantially more independently, than the royalties filtered down through the corporate system.
It is the quandary of the industry which has deepened the us and them divide between musicians and labels. But this is really only the majors problem. Because they are the ones with plummeting profits, and it is the independent musician who is gaining a foothold.
INDEPENDENCE DAY
The independent mentality is to do everything in house in order to keep costs down and productivity up. The corporate mentality has always been to get outside entities to do the job when needed. Although the majors would have departments to handle tasks like promotion, design and radio, it seemed they were only there to fulfill contractual obligations for the artists that did not show the prospects of real success. Any manager with experience would negotiate the use of an outside company to initiate a prolonged campaign, as opposed to the week or so the in-house department could dedicate to individual releases.
I do see the latest job hiring at major labels reflecting a more independent mindset. They are on the look out for multimedia creators to handle a plethora of tasks, and this is certainly a step in the right direction. However, if they want to survive they don’t need to be tentative about this, they need to be bold, because it is the boldness of independent bands that is winning the day. Musicians who unabashedly embrace new ideas, and create innovative and accessible content are making the break through. As yet this is something that the majors haven’t been able to compete with, or indeed, fully comprehend.
NO EASY ROUTE
So aspiring bands and artists, I am afraid there is no easy route, the majors will certainly not provide it, and they never did. It comes down to hard work and offering up something different and innovative. And when the majors do come knocking, you will realize that the 25% who were not interested, are probably the ones who can actually pay their rent.
