Becoming
About me: Hello. My name is Stephen Mead. When not working a day job to pay the bills, I am a published artist and writer living in northeastern NY. This site was recommended to me my the prolific poet Joanne Olivieri of YaSou! Magazine. Joanne is a good hearted soul who in addition to profiling some of my art/writing pieces from "Selected Works", http://www.lulu.com/stephenmead , had/has the common sense business savvy to know a majority of us artists/writers working today have to promote ourselves. Thus, in lieu of an agent, I come to MySpace with a smile and an open hand to say: "Welcome. Come in. I hope you enjoy spending some time here." Also, if you have the time, please visit my squidoo page or "Maintaining Spirit" hub!

To all who see this: Please use my profile as a place to discover new musicians -- Just click on one of my friends: most are underrated, underexposed musicians, many different genres. Some are well-known, but many are unknown and struggling, and to me all sound at least very promising.
Thanks for the comment. Think this photo is being used for a Courage To Change ( Marriage Equality) Capital Campaign Video. I send you a measure of our love!

About this page:
I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this. :D
Many thanks for the friendship! We would be honored if you read and comment the new artist interviews on our profile!
