Nice job!
Concise and to the point which I think visitors appreciate. They come to your site, know exactly what you do without reading through 2 pages of your life first and get quickly get to the music. You have your 10 words or less elevator phrase, "Professional Instrumental Rock Music for Film and T.V." right up front.

I might drop the word "professional" from that- a little wordy. I think that can be implied... not sure, no biggie...

I'm not sure you should talk about being open to collab on your home page. Who is the target audience for your site? I think the main targets are library folks and film/TV sups. A brief few words about your credits would be better instead-- a very short version of what's at the end of your bio. Telling them what you do and that you have credits covers most of what pros care about.

Maybe change:
Use the contact page to contact me to discuss writing great instrumental rock music for your project! Also – if you’re interested in collaborating with me: use the contact page with the subject “collab” and let’s make some magic!

Use the contact page to get in touch with me to discuss licensing a track or to order a custom song. I will consider ALL budgets so please feel free to email!
To something like (not exact):
I can be reached using the contact page to discuss licensing a track or a custom project. ALL budgets will be considered.
Just thinking how to focus it for the main target audience. You want to sound as professional as you obviously are.

JMHO's...

Good luck!
Casey

Nick,

Yes, I really like the look of your site. Very clean. Very easy to navigate.

But 3 of your links didn't work .... facebook works .. the other 3 ... youtube, blogspot, ... came up like this:

http://www.jnmorrison.ca/links/www.samu ... ogspot.com

You can see the problem.
