ATL Trip

I just wanted to give you an update to what happened on the trip to Atlanta, GA.
First of all, it was a great change of scenery and the people in the south are genuinely polite. It was a nice change up from the rude people of the Midwest. Don't be offended when I say that, I was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI.  HAHA.

Though the interview didn't get done with Bonafide Beatz, a lot of promo was done and was done so in an effective manner. A few DJ's have my new single, a lot of people have my business card and the radio station will be playing my new song soon! I met a celebrity DJ and didn't even know it! He played my new single in the 2nd biggest strip club in ATL and even gave me a shout out the next day live on Hot 107.9FM, the biggest hip hop radio station in ATL. Overall, the trip was great and I plan to get back out there sometime later in the Fall this year.

ATL is the place to be to promote yourself, the support system there is a complete 180 of the support system here in Milwaukee, WI. People actually want to hear you down there and everybody get's a fair shot. I can't wait to move there next year after I graduate!

Tutorials?

I've been thinking of uploading tutorials to help people better understand how to use certain tricks of the trade. These tutorials would consist of compression techniques, creating "pockets" for each individual track using equalization, how to properly set up a reverb and delay, etc.
If this is something that you guys would like to see, please let me know and comment below. If enough interest is generated, I will go ahead and do that. Thanks!

New Interview!

Just wanted to give a quick update.

The next interview I will be uploading is with Jim Reith. For those of you who aren't familiar with him, he is the owener/operator of Beat House Studio in Milwaukee, WI. He is also an audio engineer, producer and the head of the audio production program at Milwaukee Area Technical College.
I will be posting the interview tomorrow! Stay tuned!
Thanks,

Guides To Success

I'm sure that all artists know it is a very difficult task to make a name for themselves and to be remembered. 10,000 Facebook likes or 10,000 Twitter followers doesn't mean shit if the fans aren't staying current and watching your every move.
I know that this blog doesn't have a whole lot of followers just yet, but the few that are following, I urge you to post responses to this post. Tell us your opinions on how to make musicians more appealing and interesting to you as a listener! Besides dope music, what would motivate you to tell other people about an artist and show your friends and family their music?
This is valuable information that a lot of artists are dying to know!
Your input is greatly appreciated and on behalf of myself and all other local artists who are trying to cement their name in the game, I thank you!

ATL Bound!

Next month, I'll be going to Atlanta, GA to promote my new single and I will be interviewing a very talented producer there as well. I hope all of you tune in to see his interview! On another note, wish me luck on my journey! The radio said they will give me a spin on the radio! Any advice for proper networking is very much welcomed!
Thanks,

Mixtapes To Check Out!

I've been listening to a great mixtape for the past two weeks. A lot of music that comes from the city is good, but rarely do you find even a major label artist who you can play all the way through from beginning to end. This mixtape is a definite pleaser for the hip hop community!
If you are interested in getting it, search the artists names and you should be able to find it.

Nu-Money - Perc Kodiene
          This mixtape is amazing! 13 solid songs!

Hopefully in the future, I'll be able to sit down with Nu-Money for an interview and do a more in-depth review on this project.

Where Are The Jobs?

Does anybody know where audio engineers can find work? A lot of us are freelance and take projects as they come and we try to build our client base. However, I do know that some of us would like to work in a studio, whether it be to gain more experience or to just work everyday as you would a regular 9-5 gig. If anybody knows how to get this sort of work, feel free to leave a comment. Thanks!

Give Your Feedback!

What's up music heads? So far, I've had two video interviews posted. One with KC Beatz and one with Jay Novel.
 

I'd like to get some feedback from the viewers? What can be improved? What did you like, what didn't you like? Who would you like to see featured on the blog?

ANYBODY CAN POST TO THIS BLOG AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A GMAIL
 ACCOUNT!
 

Any feedback is good feedback, positive or negative.
 

More interviews are coming soon. I won't drop any names just yet but I have a household name from Racine, WI who is known all throughout his city and a very, very successful audio engineer who has been in the business for a long time.
 

Thanks for your support people! It's appreciated!
