A clear explanantion (retirement)

Since the announcement of my retirement, I have receive countless emails, comments, phone calls and texts asking why. Well, to put an end to the "whys," here is a clear explanation.

I have been doing music for 13 years strong. I have experienced moderate success. In my time, I have owned and operated 2 record labels, worked for 3+ major/independent labels, been mentored by a Grammy award winning producer, met countless independent and major artists and celebrities, and traveled the country doing what I love to do which is make music. Honestly, those things were the only things that I really wanted to accomplish and if I just so happened to win a few awards and make some money...that would have been extra.

What people are failing to realize is that every player in the game does not win a championship. Some players leave the game as a great player. And as long as I am settled with it; that should be enough.

My life is a diamond; multi-faceted. There is so much more to me than music. I have a few other projects that I working on outside of music. I am pretty sure that the music will live on in my sons. They are very talented and have already made steps to expressing that talent.

Just as I have been told I am great at music, it is time to be great as father and a man. So for those that don't understand and those hurt by decision, I ask that you put aside your own feelings and wants and wish me well in my other endeavors.

Hang my jersey in the rafters and remember the good times. Oh, and just cause I leave the game doesn't mean that I won't back to coach...

RETIRING

After careful thought and consideration, I will be retiring from the music business January 2010. I have decided to move on with other ventures of interest.

I have enjoyed my music career and tenure and I will take with me some of my fondest memories. I consider my career a success as I have worked with some of the best people in the industry.

In the meantime, I am completing 3 projects that include the release of K Jazz's album, a joint venture project with my long time friend Karega called Kollision and a final farewell project of my own with some of my latest works.

Thank you to all those that have supported my, my music and my causes. Thanks to my family and friends for their undying support. To the fans, you have been my strength. To the artists, it has truly been a labor of love.

Music forever,
Kasino Brown
