Subject: DEX!: I AM 1 YR OLD ON MYSPACE MUSIC (PLEASE READ)
Hello fans, friends, lovers, well wishers, and haters,
Today makes it 365 days since I signed up on myspace music. I must say it's a step that have changed my life in so many ways, both for the good and otherwise.
It all started last year when a very good friend of mine and a record label personality, Vanessa Kay Woods, advised me to signup on myspace music as a way to establish for myself a huge and strong fan base. Then, I did.
The journey have been long and very worthwhile. During my 365 days on here, I have been able to meet more artistes from all around the world. From all genre of music, and more influential people in the music business. And, as well, established for myself a fan base that is every growing stronger by the day.
During this 365 days, moreover, I have met with the founders of the AIA. After which I was featured on the AIA-Los Angeles page. Where I got well over 1000 air-play in just 14days, a record that have not been beaten ever since, even though I was the first hip-hop artiste and first non-us resident to be featured on the AIA-Los Angeles page.
During this 365 days, I was able to hook up with Indepencemusic.net where my songs (Fronting and Let me know (remix)) stood on the number 1 and 2 spot for well over 4 weeks, and I was 1 hip-hop artiste for 1 week.. after which I stood on &035;2 for 2 weeks. Till date (after 5 months), my song (fronting), still stand on the top 10 hip-hop chart on Indepencemusic.net.
During this 365 days, I was chosen to review songs from artistes from the TV show MTV® Making The Band With P.Diddy. Artistes including Deffery P and Babs Bunny.
It was still during this 365 days that I was appointed as the Representative of the AIA (Association of Independent Artiste) for the entire continent of Africa. Click here to learn more about the AIA and AIA-Africa.
During this 365 days, I have also met with artistes all around the world that I am working with on production deal and other music related deals.
And it was still during this 365 days that I had series of problems with my girlfriend cos of my myspace page, which eventually lead to our breakup.
I tell you people.. I look back on my life.. I see how much I have changed.. I see how far I have come..I see where it has brought me from... I look to the heavens.. and I go on my knees to thank God for blessing me this much. I am so grateful to all of you that have stood by me.. All of you that I have believed in me.. All of you that have strengthened me.. All of you that have inspired and motivated me..
SPECIAL THANKS

Subject: DEX!: I BE 1 YR OLD ON MYSPACE MUSIC BY MONDAY (JULY 16th)
Hello Fans and Loved ones,
Wow, Just like yesterday when it all started. It all looked like some sorta child's play when I signed up on Myspace Music... now see where it brought me.
I looked at my profile today and it shocked me when I saw that it's been about a year since I have been on myspace... doing my own thing in my own little way.
My heart is filled with joy as I reminisce on all the great oportunities my myspace music page have given me... all the great friends I have made... dedicated fans I have acquired, network connections I have created, and of course... troubles I have gotten into... (For those who knows what I mean)... all from my myspace music page.
I think I should throw out something special on my "lil' anniversary"... What do you think? Dunno what special thing to do... but will think of something before the end of the day and let y'all know how it's gon' be.
Oh... I must not forget. A very special thanx to Miss Vanessa Kay Woods... and Miss Anonymous for making such a wonderful impact in my life. And those that chose to hate, thanx for hating... for you made me try harder.
Leave me a comment y'all.
Plenty love,
DEX!

Subject: I'm thinking
Hello beloved fans,
I have been seriously thinking about the progress of my empire. Yesterday, I was speaking with a friend of mine that own a clothing company as myself. We were discussing generally, and we spoke about my proposed record company. That brought us to the name Dexter Records.
I do think there is a need to change that name. We both thought the name is a bit too personalized. What do you think people? You are my family. Tell me what you think of this.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
DEX!

Hello fans,
Since myspace now give the chance of having up to 5 songs on artistes' standalone player, I think I should have a 5th song on my music player too, ya dig?
So, I am thinking it's gonna be cool if I bring back my song "HOLD ON" back to my standalone player. What do you think? I will have this song playing on my page pending the time I am done recording my new set of joints.
I will appreciate suggestions from those of you that have heard that song on my page before.
I hope you are all enjoying your weekend and the holiday.

Subject: About my cellphone number
Esteemed Fans,
Though I did mention in my last bulletin post about the robbery that my cellphone was stolen too, I forgot to state particularly that my cellphone number will be unreachable. So, all of you calling me and calls diverted to voicemail, please, do not call my cell any longer cos I don't have it anymore. I truly regret the inconvenience.
Therefore, to all it may concern, my cellphone number is cancelled. I will not retrieve the number back cos it's too much stress, I will rather purchase a new cellphone number. So, all of you calling me and calls diverted to voicemail, please, do not call my cell any longer cos I don't have it anymore. I truly regret the inconvenience. I will let you know as soon as I get a new cellphone number.
Pending the time I will get that done, you can reach me on my house phone. My house phone number is 234-2-751-0751. Remember to include your country's dial-out code when calling me from outside Nigeria. I have removed the cellphone number from my page.
We will be back on our feet family, that is a promise, and it shall be very soon. Stay true to yourself. Once again, all the people working with me and with Dexter Production, this is only a setback, it will not stop us.
Have a graceful weekend everyone.
DEX!

Subject: HEADLINE NEWS: DEX! GOT ROBBED
Dearest Fans and friends,
This is DEX!. Yes, the story is true. Last weds'day at about 8:30pm, as I was parking my car in the house after going out to get somethingt to eat, I got followed in by a gang of 3 armed men. They had me open the door for them and took money and belongings.
Belongings stolen includes 2 notebook computers (which include the one I use for my beat-making, mixing, and all music-related works), 2 cell phones, wrist watch, and few bulks.
The point I want to bring out here is that, even though I thank God so very much that neither myself nor my elder brother that was home when it happened was shot, my notebook book that I use for my studio is gone!!
Remember I said I was going into the studio very soon? Well, that will definitely be suspended till further notice. And the new set of beats that I said I was putting on my page, that is suspended for now too. This truly sadden me, but I must count my blessings and still be grateful that I am alive and breathing.
Fans, this is not the end of Dex!...far from it. It is my custom to always make a "backup CD" every once in a while. So, about 7weeks ago, I copied every information on my PC onto a CD-R for storage... that means all the beats, songs, and datas I had before 7 weeks ago, I still have them. Even though I might have to start mixing the songs all over again, and tweaking the beats all over again, they are not lost!
So, all my business partners and persons recording with me, buying/leasing my beats, or requesting my songs, I still have access to my songs. But I need some time to recover from this great loss.... need time to gather money to buy all the lost equipments back.
I am still alive everyone. Thank you for reading my sad story. I will be back on my feet and shall let y'all know when the time arrives to smoke a little "dexium".
DEX!

Subject: iKay and GyNISS
I wanna also bring to your awareness my 2 new additions to the DEXTER family. These are, my homeboy iKay and the angel voice GyNISS.
iKay is a rapper I have been developing for almost 3 years now. I believe he is getting ripe enough to be brought forward to you to review. You would've heard his voice in a few of my songs such as "HOLD ON" and "FRONTING" (the hook part). iKay will be on my next song, "BACKDOWN", I am working on a collabo with him too. His song will be coming up soon, so is his myspace page.
GyNISS is just 2 months old in my 'classroom'. I have been working tirelessly to make her into what you can really enjoy. She is a singer, a great singer with an outstanding voice. When you contemplate GyNISS' voice, think Shakira's voice. She is on the forth coming song I will be having on my page in a couple of days, the song titled "LISTEN TO UR HEART (REMIX)". She will also be recording a collabo with me titled "OUR LIFE". GyNISS' solo song and photos will be up soon, so is her myspace page.
More details about iKay and GyNISS will be made available on my page soon. So stay tuned!
Dex!

Subject: MY MAKEOVER
Based on the person I am, I have decided to take you, my fans, along with me in everything I do. But this has to be mutual. I need you to walk with me as well in my journey to the top.
I have decided to let you know first anything I will be doing, so you can give your suggestions or opinion regarding it. Before I do anything, I will have it posted on the bulletin board for you to look at my plans first. So, check the bulletin board here regularly to get the latest news, gists, and updates.
Right now, I am thinking I should change my look. I have done it a few times this year, and I wanna do it again. I wanna grow my hair instead of shaving it bald, what do you think? But I am kinda confused if I should just let it grow low and give it a nice trim and friction at the edges, or blow it into an Afro (just like my baby girl...lol). Let me know what you think on this please.
And whatever i eventually decide upon based on your opinions, I will let you know. Also, I will put a photo of me with my hair grown below this bulletin later on today (monday).
Have a great week everyone, and don't work too hard.....like I do...ha ha ha..
