How’s FUSION & CO doing during the pandemic?
The most frequently asked question has been, “How’s FUSION & CO doing during the pandemic? At some point it gets annoying, come to think of it, Fusion is doing however it is I’m doing. So I’m doing good. I’m maintaining my sanity. I’m not putting any requirements on myself based on anyone’s expectations of me, or the company.
If you wanna know how we’re doing; the answer is pretty simple. We’re doing what we can. and taking on all we can mentally. While also trying to figure out our own personal lives troubles during the crisis. We started our 2020 on December 16th 2019. We had our entire year planned out. Pitches for sponsorships, events booked in 6 states, investors lineup for great new business ventures, award shows planned, and opportunities that we found interest in that would allow us to accomplish our 5 years plan in 4 years.
For me personally, I’m not sure what’s worst. Being responsible for bringing opportunities to our collective artist who made so many great plans with us. Or being responsible for a staff who depends on the work that FUSION & CO does in our community to advance their careers, pay bills, earn school credit and much more. To be honest, neither. What’s worse is the 22 million people who have filled for unemployment. The thousands of people who have died from a virus that we don’t have a cure for. My mother being furloughed after 15 years of working for a company, and the fact we’re all on lockdown. Some of us are locked at home with mental illness, no food, and no money coming in. Others are on lock down with abusive parents/spouses, or the hundreds of people who are now essential workers risking their lives.
The life we once knew will never be the same. One thing is for sure, the music industry will always be here. I truly feel like this is the time where our character will be challenged. Your personal will is definitely going to be tested. Your passion will be tested. Your strength, and everything you once knew will never be same.
Our company was built for people. It was built on love, and community. We’re doing everything we can to help our community at this time. We are still providing you all with a platform to perform online, to gain education, and to be heard.
