Larger stations are usually part of a syndicate that is owned by a company that sets rules on programs. Usually, if you're not on the top 100 or the top 40 nationally, they can't play you even if they know you personally and want to help. These stations must adhere to FCC rules. It is difficult. That's why label backing is necessary.
Labels can help get airplay and exposure.
This is the real me, where I belong, what I'm meant to do. There is a thrill that I can't describe, a sense of being in control musically, and a sense of being controlled by the Holy Spirit all at the same time. My one prayer before any performance is that the Lord will move Jenifer aside and do whatever He needs to do without interference from me. Also that whatever happens will glorify Him even if the program is a total bust. I've done everything I can do and now the whole program belongs to Him.
