What can we get from small labels....

So, we are not going to make money on our small label deals.   That is not our goal in working with small labels.  Our goal is to get an increasing % of the product for sales at shows.   For example,…Continue

Talent is not enough!

If you think musical talent alone will make you a star, you’re wrong. In fact, there are several other factors that are just as important (if not more important) to your career. Here are the 5 most…Continue

Climbing the Reverbnation charts. Hours of networking with all kinds of bands, talents, and fans. Slow work getting "likes" "fans" and "friends"... We have tried lots of approaches but in the end it it just about WORK! Grandpa was right all alng...LOL

Ok.. Yolanda.. The best suggestion I can come up with is onesheet.com... It's a free place to list your EPK...  We provide a press kit for all our artist under our distribution... We also design album covers, build websites for our artist with completed albums, do all of your social media marketing, contact radio stations and much more.   Wow I am out of breath just writing all that.. LOL but on a serious note... Try http://www.onesheet.com and I will try to answer any question that you may have...

Hello everyone! I currently use Reverbnation for my Press Kit but an unsatisfied with it because it included RN's ranking and also leaves off some show info. Since RN is not the industry standard for artists I don't think it gives a clear enough profile of my fanbase and work (even though it includes fan stats). Does anyone have an idea on a good source to compile artist Press Kits. Can you please tell me what you have used and if you know of a source that can put one together at a reasonable cost? Thanks!

I am a marketing specialist for a distribution and marketing company...  All of the artist that come to us remain independent...  We just facilitate the needs of the artist or small or mid-size label..  You can make more money as an Independent artist if you know how to manage yourself as a business...

Condensed my blog paragraphs to 2 - it is actually 2- although words may look like extra paragraphs. Appreciate your feedback, guys! Thanks.

"With a sound described as “Sweet Soul” and a voice described as ‘amazing’,‘soulful’,‘gorgeous’, ‘achingly beautiful’,‘awesome’ and ‘heavenly’ (among many other adjectives), Yolanda R. is an emerging R&B/Soul singer gaining thousands of fans in the U.S. and worldwide. A Classically trained vocalist, she possesses an undeniably versatile musical range. Tristan Rose, Music reviewer for Raynbowaffair.com, had this to say in her review: “I was struck by Yolanda’s talent and vocals, in a word I was floored, she is someone who I would love to watch at an intimate gig whether it’s her at a piano, at a upscale venue or on the grass with my lover, that’s just the mood I feel from her. The vocals, production and song writing were all on point.”

Her debut recording, “Yolanda’s Voice” is an R&B gem where she weaves musical tapestry with ballads and mid-tempo grooves. It includes original R&B/Neo-Soul tunes and superbly reworked cover versions of a Country tune, Gospel Hymn, and a Standard. Have a listen to the entire EP at http://soundcloud.com/yolandas-voice/sets/studio-recordings. Your music review is greatly desired and tremendously appreciated. Yolanda R. can be found at www.yolandasvoice.com,www.reverbnation.com/yolandasvoice,www.facebo... and www.twitter.com/yolandasvoice, Hear for yourself..."

Thank you Ray (The Cry)! I'll abridge it and repost. Now I'll start looking for those blogs to post it in and ramp up the process. Appreciate the feedback :)

Comment by The CRY! (Ray) on September 5, 2012 at 11:10pm

Yolanda,  Great!  Nicely writen and shamelessly selfpromoting.  A+!!  Now, as an extra credit assignment, Cut it down to two paragraphs WITHOUT losing any meaning/passion.  Seriously, the blurb you have will be perfect for web-blogs and promo cover letters but may be a bit long for some of your other uses... my experience is that when I really focus I can cut about 50% out and distill a powerfull brief snippit.  All versions just add tools to your toolbox... GREAT WORK!

Comment by Yolanda R. on September 5, 2012 at 2:02pm

Tony, thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it! You can call me Yolanda -that's fine. Have a great week :)
