Exciting Updates!

I just realized today that I’ve been away for a while, so I thought some updates were in order. After a challenging (but ultimately rewarding) year so far, as we approach the season of thanks, I realize there are a lot of happenings I should announce. I am truly grateful!

 

First and foremost, I have a huge announcement. After many months, two business partners of mine — Rick Goetz and Marty Maidenberg — and I have teamed up to re-launch the site formerly known as MusicianCoaching.com as a new boutique marketing services company called Music Consultant. I am so happy to be working with these two excellent, experienced fellas, and glad we are able to bring our strengths together in a way that I believe will really help artists and creative companies build more sustainable careers and continue to make a living doing what they love. Plus, I get to do more of what I love for others and connect with even more outstanding music! We went live a couple weeks ago and are now in full swing. If you are in need of any of the many services we have to offer, please do reach out!

 

 

I am also doing some really rewarding work with my clients right now. In the past few months alone, I’ve had the pleasure of being the editor on two helpful guides/proper self-help books about finding success in music and the Arts, one of which has already been published (check it out on Amazon), the other which is coming out soon. I’ve also watched several artists I work with release a smorgasbord of delightful albums and music videos. I’m thrilled to be a part of so many different projects!

 

For a little taste, here’s a lovely retro video of a classic song released by my very-talented client, Oya (“Spirit of Oya”), who also directed and produced it herself. “Accentuate the Positive” indeed!

 

 

I’m also hoping to run another “press pack special” for the holidays for artists and musicians looking to update bios and photos. I’ll let you know!

 

And on a personal note, I am putting major effort into finishing a book of essays, which I hope will be all together by year’s end.  (I don’t want to make that sound like too much of an afterthought — I’m actually really excited about it!) Writing and playing more music is also on the docket, with a new musical project in the works.

 

More updates coming soon! Please take the above as just highlights jotted down by a person who is joyfully busy!

A Quick, Vague, Barely-Newsy Update

 

Spring is here! And I realized this morning that a blog update is woefully overdue. While I don’t have any big “topic” to tackle (at least not this morning), I did want to offer up a few quick thoughts about what’s coming next for me. Working with a string of wonderful artists has kept me quite busy for the past few weeks (and this is never unwelcome!) and I am quite excited about everything that will be coming up in the next couple months.

 

My biggest piece of engaging news is that I have a musician bio-writing webinar coming up later this month with a fantastic indie music organization (to be revealed in the coming weeks)! I will be joining some other experts to discuss the ins, outs and other elements of putting together eye-catching bios to grab (increasingly more distracted) attention in the modern music industry. Stay tuned for more info on that in the next week or so. (In the meantime, you should definitely check out some of the resources on the Presskit.to blog — hint hint.)

 

More soon …
