The Price of Music .
Recording industry earns more from fan videos than from official music videos. Will you be at the Winter Music Conference? If you are able, I would love to see you during the panel I am participating with at the Miami Music Summit . For those unable to attend, I plan to tape the presentation and will share it here. Member of AIMP? If not, it might serve you to look into it. We attended a panel yesterday that was incredibly informative.

A [A free audit is the place to start.(GHOST_URL/request-audit/) is the place to start. We typically can turn it around in a couple business days. You’ll probably be surprised at the findings.
Finally, I was watching..wait for it..YouTube, when I stumbled upon this video of Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie. Kenny was at an event honoring Lionel, when he retold a pretty funny story about how to write and sell a song. I don’t want to give any all the details, but it’s pretty good. Of course, the tale is followed by two beautiful artists sharing the stage to belt out a classic.
