When you go to a music showcase remember to get business cards, flyers and cd's to collect email addresses. You'll also want to request emails from people that you meet. Emails are one of the ways to stay in contact with people in the music business. By offering people in your database something that will help them, you run the chance of converting those people to clients/buyers of products and services you might offer.

Atlanta, GA (Sept. 2, 2008) --For several years Janiro Hawkins II, Founder of the SEA’s (Southern Entertainment Awards) and staff have organized one of the most prestigious award shows and music conference throughout the southeast region of the United States.

Previous nominees and winners of the Southern Entertainment Awards include some of the most respected and accomplished djs, music publicists, music magazines, recording artist, music producers, models and industry power players. One of the things that make the Southern Entertainment Awards such a well respected brand and event is nominees and winners are chosen by their peers in the industry and the public at large by voting online at southernentawards.com/ballot/vote.html Additionally, the music conference component is free, giving anyone who truly wants to learn about the business of music the opportunity to do so with little obstacles.

JaWar, Motivational Speaker, Author and Business Consultant is honored to have been nominated for the coveted Industry Power Player Award along with DJ Toomp, Grammy Winning Multi-platinum Music Producer and others, but says “being nominated is merely a continuation of the burning desire, practical written plan and daily execution of that plan that others are beginning to recognize.” Additionally, JaWar states “this isn’t even about him, but about those who give the business 110%, it’s about those who’ve sacrificed, it’s about those who constantly get overlooked and underpaid what there worth, it’s about the people who’ve been to a Music Therapy 101 Music Conference, read a Music Industry Connection Book or experienced JaWar giving a motivational seminar during a music conference.” “This nomination is about you” JaWar states.

DJ Wants Your Soul

DJ seeking drops and mp3's from Soul, R&B and maybe conscious Hip Hop/Rap Artist.

The message below is from DJ Young Venom who I found on Soul Commune. I thought this may be of interest to some of our readers and wanted to share this with you. Because a number of people visit the site it's safe to assume that DJ Young Venom is seeking Soul, R&B and maybe conscious Hip Hop/Rap Artist.

Ok here is the deal I have reached the point of my dj career where I am getting a high demand for my mixes and its weird because I have done only 2 mixes thus far. And since im trying to mainly promote the artist why not have them do all the talking. So before I start this Soul series I have be procrastinating on since forever I need drops and mp3s NOT wmas from every artist that wants to be heard. Send drops and mp3s to youngvenom@gmail.com.

Here is a link to my previous stuff for free on itunes! WOW

Music Showcase Are You Protected.

There's currently legislation that if passed could have an adverse affect for anyone who creates intellectual property -songs, lyrics, books, music, paintings, photographs, etc. The entire arts, entertainment and music community is being made aware of the Orphan Works Legislation.

According to Tess Taylor -Big Changes To The Copyright Act That Will Affect YOU!

Congress is quietly passing a significant change to the Copyright Act that will radically restructure copyright law and legalize the infringement of artists' rights.

Driven by commercial interests, the Shawn Bentley Orphan Works Act (named for the late AOL lobbyist) creates a safe harbor that will allow the use of songs, sound recordings, illustrations, music videos or any other copyright in any manner by anyone (whom the Shawn Bentley Act defines as an infringer) who is unable to find the copyright owner after a "reasonably diligent" search "in good faith." No requirements exist for a "reasonably diligent search" in the Act.

The Atlanta Music Showcase list is somewhere on the site, but I wanted to ensure that you have some real information that could directly impact your career as a recording artist who creates original music.
