Finally I found my passion and started selling MUSIC. This I loved and there was nothing anyone could do to stop me. My girlfriend and I set up business booking COVER BANDS and soon I was making a name for myself. But then the venues didn't want to pay gst and our whopping 10% profit disentegrated - it was back to working full time in an office.
Then I discovered somewhere I could sell GOOD MUSIC - GREAT MUSIC - MUSIC PEOPLE WANTED TO BUY, and I began my love affair with the world of PROMOTING. 3 years on and weary and worn out, I'd partied too hard but met some fantastic people.
It's a hard world to let go of, this "music industry" and so finally I have rediscovered my passion for EMERGING MUSICIANS. I've learnt why I love the music industry so much and it truly is all about THE PEOPLE. People who are risk takers, people who have never ever played inside the box, people who don't care what others think - they just DO.
So please join me in PRAISING all of these fantastic PEOPLE who selfishly indulge in self gratitude, introspective reflection and simply DAMN FINE MUSIC. We love you all and please NEVER STOP, you are the life force that keeps us all going. WE LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC so THANK YOU.
I live in the world of music, unable to escape. The feeling you get when you stand right in front of the stacks as the opening beats begin to take over your heart beat. The roar of the crowd when the band hits the stage, the rocking and swaying of the entire room as the show transcends into one complete motion. The silence after the last song and the slow stamping of the feet as the encore is called, the even louder roar when the band re-emerges and performs their best ever work.
There's nothing like seeing a band perform live - no matter who they are or if you've heard or seen them before. There's always something to make you feel it, something to take you to another place, nothing you will find on a record or DVD and only the band t-shirt purchased on the way out the door will ever take you there again.
Mustang Promotions started out with a love of all things musical. My greatest desire is to see my bands on the world's stage - unable to compose themselves through sheer amazement of where they stand today. There's hundreds of people (not least the fans) that make a band great, and I am truly privileged to work in this inner sanctum that is the blood that runs through my very veins.
