“The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side.” Hunter S. Thompson

CORRECTION: This quote by Hunter S. Thompson got twisted around and was originally penned from a 1988 story in the San Francisco Examiner where Hunter was referring to the TV industry.  That said, it can also apply to the music business.

As opportunities and the tools for independent artist to create, distribute and try to promote their art the fog that surrounds the music industry is easy to get lost in now than ever before. As the barriers for independent artist and independent labels have come down, the competition for hearts and ears has increased exponentially.   WE CAN HELP!

Every day I see dozens of Digital Service releases with bad information, wrong talking points and not enough boxes checks on what needs to be done before you take a song to radio.  WE CAN HELP!

 Many artists and their independent labels are planning song by song and release by release rather than planning for the long term.  WE CAN HELP!
