   About Earn It Yourself (E.I.Y.)

DO IT YOURSELF: EARN IT YOURSELF.


"E.I.Y.," or "Earn It Yourself," is a philosophy built on the premise that everyone can and should use the Do It Yourself method of the underground to work toward their goals—but they should not accept the guilt people force on them when they achieve success (the guilt that comes with being called a sell-out by your former friends and fans). As long as you have earned your success without compromising your integrity or your values, and have paved your path toward achieving your goals with painstaking effort and devotion, you deserve whatever level of success you desire—be it selling out a basement show or an arena.

If you ever need to record, mix and master or have your disc duplicated, please hit me up. I work for Dinky Music Recording Studios in Corona and they can take very good care of you, giving you quality work for a fraction of what a larger studio would charge. This isn't someone's bedroom, this is a state of the art facility that works with amazing artists every day and tailors their session/orders to their specific needs. I do artist promotion too, Dinky tries to give you the whole package.
So if you need anything please let me know!

Hello,

We are going to everyone of our friends and personally asking them for
their help in the making of our next record!

What can you do to help you ask? Well, buy our record. That is what we
need you to do most, and of course tell your friends that don't know
about us, yet!

On our page, we have some sneak peeks of our upcoming album titled
"Distance". Weekly we will also be posting new songs and videos so keep
checking back!

We also have extensive touring plans on this record, so drop by and sign up for our mailing list so you can “be in the know” when we’re coming to your town.
