Is Change Really Good

So we got an email from the record label saying that our old marketing rep. was leaving and we now have a new rep. Now I've always heard that change was good but is it really? Our old rep. knew us and we had a great relationship with her but will we with this new guy?? Apparently he use to be a recording artist and should know how to deal with Nisha (my artist) but what does that mean. Our old rep. was with us from the beginning and was very vested in seeing Nisha succed so I hope this new guy will carry the torch. I'll certainly let you know! So is change really good, I'll get back to you on that.

Almost There

So we just heard from my artist Nisha's record label that we are entering into the marketing phase for her album that means that it will be released really soon. First all the songs have to be approved by the label; then they have to approve the artwork and we do too and then the marketing phase is the last thing that happens. This is where we (we means mostly the label) all decide what single will be released and then we talk about who we should market it to it's all very exciting. First the album is going to be only available through the label website and then it will be in stores and CD Now, CD Baby, iTunes, etc. There is a lot of work that goes into releasing an album but when it finally happens it would have all been worth the wait!

Nisha's Performance

I think I told you all that the DC Black Gay Pride Committee asked that my artist Nisha perform at this years concert along side Crystal Waters and Amerie. Well, I'm happy to report that she did perform and did a great job but her set was cut short due to the fact the concert didn't get started until 2 hours after it was scheduled. They told me that she would get 20mins but it turned out to be only about 10mins. Amerie didn't show up and we didn't get the chance to meet Crystal. I'm not ignorant enough to think that every show is going to go off without incident every single time but I pray that problems are few and far between.

The Grind

You know when I first decided to get into the music industry I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I had made up my mind that I was all in and that I would work hard to achieve success. I thought it would be somewhat easier for me because I lived in the DC area and with all this musical talent here I would definitely get my artists into the clubs. BOY WAS I WRONG! I never would have thought that it would be so hard to get into the clubs here. I could see if my artists didn't have talent and weren't exceptional performers but that isn't the case. You would think that the clubs here would support local artists but all they think about is money. I don't blame them for wanting to make money every business needs to make a profit to survive but all they are concerned about is "how many people can you draw" and most of these clubs already have a very large clientel who frequent every week anyway why not feature a new artist for your customers? Give them some new fresh music but I guess that's too much to ask.

Nisha's Next Performance

Nisha will be performing at the 2009 Black Gay Pride Festival on Sunday, May 24th. The show starts at 1:00pm and will go until 6:00pm. We don't know what time she will go on because they haven't finalized the schedule. The thing that's exciting about this performance is that she will share the stage with Crystal Waters and Amerie who are both platinum selling artists!

2009 Unicity Festival

Hey all,

I wanted to tell you about the performance that my artist Nisha gave at the 2009 Unicity Festival this past Saturday. She really rocked the house she was on the so called "Celebrity Stage", which I don't know why they called it that because there were no celebrities there but it wasn't until she was into her second song when it seemed that most of the people began to make their way to the stage to see her. Before, with the other performers there were only about 5 people at the stage. So it felt good to know that people are interested in her music and the reaction from them after every song was amazing they were screaming and shouting. There was a radio station there called OC104 (103.9 FM) from Ocean City and they liked her so much they did an on the spot interview with her on the air.
