Running My Own Business

These videos are a tester and nothing is really expected to come of these mini series. It was an idea I had in 2021 but being self employed I haven't had the time to bring this to fruition.

My main job is engine tuning @ www.on-cars.com - I have ran this business since August 2009 and also have a few other small business ideas floating around.

I create trap beats that sell mostly to businesses for commercial use. There is a tab on the above website link that will take you to the //ON BEATS page. I have sold music to singers and rap artists in Europe but not as many as I have from advertising companies such as Netflix, and Playstation.

I also have some hoodie designs on the same web page under the //ON HOODIES tab.

I sell ex-display and refurbished tablets on the website under //ON TABS.

There are also several car reviews which are separate from my engine tuning business and are created just for fun. I like to keep a log of the cars I test on the road and also now on track. I aim to get back into this at some point in the summertime.

I do aim to hold some interview podcasts in the future and will prepare a small desk with two mics for this purpose when I am free. My aim with the Let's Talk videos is to talk about a subject and then give an example where possible, of how my particular skill can be translated to another work task.

The first set of video uploads had bad audio distortion so I deleted them and re-recorded them at Dream Sound Studio in Atlanta (ATL). Their studio is seriously impressive and I have also created new music there. I have spent just over two months in the city and everybody is welcoming.

I have an album (EP) in the woodworks and will try to record at least two tracks in the same studio before heading back to Germany. I wanted to have the music released around spring of this year. Dream Sound Studio are an incredible group of musical wizzards.. they are all extremely talented and I am grateful for having met these guys. They also offer competitive prices and are now the only studio I book for a place to get creative while having a good time. The atmosphere is 100% spot on.
