Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Lil face – In five years I see myself advancing In the music industry to the point where artists know you can work with my label on your terms to get to the next level of the music business.
What are your “5 things I wish someone told me when I first started” and why. Please share a story or example for each.
Lil face:
1. Watch out for people that only want to work with you for a percentage. Being part of the LGBT community I’ve seen a lot of people try to attach themselves to me to make money inside of that community
2. Build partnerships with the genuine people you meet in the industry. The industry is small and you’ll always need something
3. Don’t give more than you’re willing. Some people force themselves to go completely out of the box stay true to yourself and you’ll find that there are others that are just like you
4. Never stop working no matter what obstacles get in the way. When they say there will be things sent to break you don’t take it lightly take them head-on
5. Take a break if you don’t feel the love for what you do. Sometimes business can get in the way of the fun make sure no one else can take the fun out for you
Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?
Lil face – Self-care is the biggest defense against burnout. Once you let yourself go you give a chance for everything you love to go with it. Like I said before a break is always going to be needed for everyone in any field. If you can come back with a fresh mind you’re able to keep growing.
Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?
Lil face – In March we will be launching a marketing campaign for the company to shed light on the brand and individual brands of the artist and sub-labels that we work with. There will also be a collective album of songs all produced by me (Prodby.lilface) in the upcoming 2022 year.

Queen Bey – Beyoncé Shatters Records With Her Unprecedented 2025 Grammy Nominations
Beyoncé is once again making headlines. After dominating the music scene, blazing through a record-breaking “Renaissance” tour, and launching a successful whiskey brand, SirDavis, weren’t enough, she’s now rewriting history at the Grammy Awards. In March, she took the world by storm with her eighth studio album release, COWBOY CARTER, which continues to echo across the charts. This year, the superstar has earned a stunning 11 Grammy nominations, setting a new record as the female artist who has ever received the most nominations in a single year. Once again, Beyoncé has firmly redefined what it means to be a trailblazer in the music industry, proving there are no limits to what she can achieve.
The 11 nods mark a new personal best for Beyoncé, who previously shared the long-standing record with Lauryn Hill at 10 nominations apiece. Hill achieved the feat in 1999, and Beyoncé first met that mark in 2010. The sheer range speaks volumes about her artistic versatility, relentless ambition, and unmatched status in the music industry. But with 2025 nominations, Beyoncé genuinely shines brightly in major categories like Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance. Queen Bey’s fierce presence reinforces her iconic status in music in a highly competitive Grammy race that includes powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and Billie Eilish.
This news arrives at an exciting time amidst swirling controversy. Despite COWBOY CARTER’s undeniable genre-bending success and Beyoncé’s well-received pivot into country influences, she was left out this year at the Country Music Awards and the People’s Choice Country Awards. With 17 nominations at the PCCAs, she walked away empty-handed, raising eyebrows across the industry. While Beyoncé soars on the Grammy stage, she’s faced notable snubs in the country music realm. A legend of the genre, Dolly Parton even commented on the snub in an interview with Variety, reflecting, “There’s so many wonderful country artists that, I guess probably are in the country music field, they probably thought, well, we can’t really leave out some of the ones that spend their whole life doing that.”
But for Beyoncé, this year’s Grammy nods are more than a consolation prize; they validate her impact. As she heads into Grammy season with 11 nominations, it’s clear that while the country music world might still be playing catch-up, the Grammys recognize Beyoncé’s immense talent. For enthusiasts and music lovers globally, one thing is sure: Beyoncé isn’t just making history. She’s actively reshaping it. Her work demonstrates that there are no limits within her sphere and that records are not intended to endure; instead, they are designed to be rewritten. Consequently, according to her vision and standards, she possesses the ability and intent to continue influencing the music industry.
