Artist Forward...OMG!

Post by jameii » Mon Feb 18, 2008 2:58 pm

Hey guys,I am so incredibly excited about this one! I came home and found a forward on 2 of my songs on an artist listing. THIS listing is the same manager that took "Happily Everafter" (the one where he screened them himself) and then he came back and took "Every Now & Then". Now he's come a 3rd time to take ME...evidently! LOL..I"m so new to this I"m just not even sure what it means...but I'm really just happy that someone appreciates my music Here is the listing:Y080206ACHOT AC ARTISTS/BANDS are sought by a well-connected Manager who has major & indie label clients (and therefore, connections). Think along the lines of Colbie Caillat to Kelly Clarkson to Seal to Alicia Keys - that general range. Artists with classic influences ranging from Stevie Wonder to James Taylor to Carol King to Hall & Oates are welcome. He's looking for great songwriting, a killer work ethic, a marketable image, and a lead vocalist whose distinct/accessible style will stop an overwhelmed A&R exec. in their tracks. The manager will come in to screen the submissions himself. Please submit two to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics/photo/bio. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS ONLY - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI. For ground submissions, please enclose a S.A.S.E. if you would like a response. Submissions must be received no later than Feb. 6, 2008.

I'm in a rush so I can't listen to the music right now (although I've heard some of your stuff before and it's awesome) - it IS exciting... means a LOT!!!! ...means you have something marketable, both music & look... but don't wait for the call, keep pitching and working at it

Fantastic Jamie,To have your songs presented to high profile listings and to cap it all to have that person interested in you too means a lot and is very exciting. To my ears FWIW you have the songs you also have the persona. As Hummingbird says.....keep writing, keep pitching. Don't slow down. I am rooting for ya..........Derek
