Hi Olivia:

Sorry I'm late. You have received some interesting replies. I believe you should do what you believe is best for you. Other than your love for music and the genre you have chosen... you are probably in it to profit from it. It's your "product" and your "investment" and although I don't believe race has anything to do with it... if you believe it would help, go for it.

No doubt about it... you are unique... but aren't we all... LOL!
I look forward to the opportunity to hear your music... and wish you tons of success and happiness.

Dave
