CELEBRATING OVER TEN YEARS AS A FREE, ONLINE RESOURCE & EDUCATIONAL WEBSITE FOR MUSICAL TALENT, SONGWRITERS, & Filmmakers DETERMINED TO SUCCEED.
I had been dreaming about this inevitability for so many more Artists and Bands to be on MTV for years and kept my faith that one day MTV would reveal the true integrity of their efforts to showcase and support all Musicians, Bands, Artists, and Songwriters tirelessly working to spread their “gifts” (not to mention more than a little additional joy to the masses).
Everyday, people spend thousands upon thousands of dollars for either 24, 48, or more multi-track recording devices and, even if they don’t, they’ll spend their money on Protools or Logic software (yes, I love them both but hear me out), only to have to do the training work worthy of a PhD to learn the programs, spend “oodles” of hard-earned money, and then record a piece of worthy music and vocals that didn’t require so much as a fraction of the total power. Just what is it, exactly, that I’ve said again and again (and will continue to preach)? It DOES NOT matter how you went about recording your song. No one can tell how you recorded it once it is complete, it is “no one’s business” and, most importantly, it is so much smarter, economical, and less time-consuming to keep it simple by SETTING UP a simple recording console that fulfills your needs as a Songwriter, Performer, or Band.
As I get a little bit too excited about my all-new updated E-book, titled: The Musician’s Companion – Everything You Need For a Successful Music Career, I realize that I couldn’t be “excited enough” for the benefits I know my music promotion book will bring to you. Attached to this quick article is a FREE audio sample (performed by your’s truly) containing one of the very best kept secrets of highly successful music professionals and moguls.
First of all, I want to thank all of you for your continued patience as I continue to gather more information about opportunities for you with MTV. I have been juggling many tasks like these as I update my music promotion book for you. In the meantime, I found a free software program that is beyond cool for you to use when converting your music videos for promotion in ANY format, and I must share it with you.
Music promotion strategies bring Artists and Bands up to “the big leagues” if they follow these suggestions.
There is a message in my film about band promotion advice within my blog, that I don’t want my viewers and blog readers to miss. Band promotion ideas I researched ended up fostering the (almost) greatest accomplishment in my career as a Singer, Performance Artist, Writer, and Film Maker. As a singer and writer, I was rewarded with a 1st place international singing award/trophy by the IMTA (Ashton Kutcher, Katie Holmes). The trophy broke into two pieces. During a period of down-time, coinciding with a necessary “spring cleaning” at my (then) apartment in Studio City, CA, I considered throwing the broken trophy in the trash. I wanted to start a slew of free band promotion websites, and ended up founding: www.MusiciansCompanion.net. I was “down” on my self-esteem and felt awards and accomplishments meant nothing. Plus, I had a broken piece of material that I was hoping to get rid of to lesson the amount of (unnecessary) objects I had placed away in a cabinet. Still, I wanted to teach Artists how to sell songs.
