Music Marketing: Some reminder wisdom from our classic, original film: “How to Make it In Music.”
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.
