These are recent stories of other bands I focused my new media scouting efforts on. Take a look at life inside the music industry…
# I began pursuing/posted unsigned Virginia artist Ross Copperman two years ago on June 10, 2004. He only just signed with Sony-BMG imprint Phonogenic Records (Natasha Bedingfield’s label) recently. Ross sent an email to me stating:
I just wanted to thank you personally because I have now been contacted by two A&R reps at Columbia records and one at RCA records. They have all been referred to me through your website…
Copperman was October 10, 2006 UK iTunes Single of the Week – most downloaded single of the week ever beating out former picks James Morrison, Orson and Paulo Nutini.
# Tyler Read, who signed to major label Immortal Records/RED, wrote me:
Since you featured us on your website we’ve found management and an entertainment attorney out of a big firm in new york…I just wanted to drop you a quick line thanking you for the spot on your sight. I can’t express enough how greatly appreciative we are or how much exposure we’ve gotten within the past two days because of your help! -Josh Johnson and Jeb Whitley of Tyler Read, September 3, 2003
# Singer J.R. from the newly signed Lizard King Records/Warner act Greater Good wrote me a recent thank you letter regarding his previous band:
Without your help…The Broadcast would have never got any recognition and my career would have never got off the ground. So anyway it was a long string of events but you started it and I have always appreciated it very much.
