Independent Music at its Best

Well we all know that there are very many talented musicians in the world that go unseen and unheard by the mass public, and sometimes that is the way those musicians want it to be. Then there are those who's dream is to share their music with the whole world. Since the release of Youtube this has become an easy task. The other side of the story is that may be as far as the dream goes.

As an independent music producer you are always taking a risk. But that is the beauty of the business is it not? I was browsing Youtube about 6 months to see who was the latest artist trying to make their "big break" hoping that someone would see them, believe in them, and help them break through that iron curtain, "The Music Business".

Well I found someone who was just singing to be heard. That someone is Shanna Gilfix. Over 500,000 viewers have heard her song, "It Took Losin You" on Youtube and other web channels. I just couldn't sit back and do nothing. So I started emailing like crazy. Even made my own Youtube account just to contact her. I am glad that I did.

She has a natural talent for music and poetry. She has an awsome guitarist, Richard Adoradio by her side who also believed in her and brought her to the next level. At least in my opinion. I hoping to produce her over here in Japan and at the same time believing it is going to open the doors for her in the United States. Without further adue, here is the video that broke the ground in cyber space.

Please watch it, comment on it and cheer her on. Afterall, in the end it's all about the listeners.

Discovery Sound on Crackle

Well I have uploaded all of the Discovery Sound videos to Crackle. This is by far one of the best video sites on the web. Youtube may have numbers, but crackle has definitely got class. Not only can you upload videos, but you might just get noticed by Sony and they might just like your video and they might just turn your video into a series. Hows that for a run-on sentence.

The best thing about Crackle is that there is no spam videos. All those videos uploaded to Youtube might get really nice comments and feedback, but for those of you who are serious about making something out of your videos, Crackle might just have what you have been waiting for. A loyal audience with loyal followers. Even ontwitter you can't get that. Just so that I am clear on this, I have uploaded the same videos to Youtube, and MySpace, but only received awards from Crackle. This might be something to keep in mind next time you want to upload videos.
