First Blog Ever!

I guess you I am shooting for the most improved award when it comes to design.

I am going to learn the most from this blog because I am not anywhere close to an expert of music....yet! The plan is to dive into the music industry as deeply as possible to see how artists begin their business ventures/careers. I want to know how they start out and begin marketing their own flavor to make it different and get it listened to by the right people. How exactly does music transition from garage band material into a produced end result getting listened to by an average person without a digital hunt on the internet.

There is much more business and digital media waiting to get explored and exploited from music where it is currently not. Tons of awesome music goes unheard beneath the social radar of the radio mainly due to the lack of resources. If nothing else I want to find some music I should be listening to in the opinion of the rest of you, something different and new...

  1. Hey Brad, Here's an example of a remix that is so cool. It's about a project that a jazz musician, Jason Parker, has been working on: jazz interpretations of Nick Drake's first album, which was funded by Kickstarter, which funds a lot of albums these days. Check out Kickstarter.

    Now Parker recently released a "remix" of a song from that same upcoming album, mashed up with Jay-Z. You can listen to it here.
