Sharmaine Taylor

Top A&R Manager For Red Skin Records Ltd, The Worlds First Major Digital Record Label

About Me

Hello all,My name is Sharmaine Taylor, I am an A&R Manager for a company called Red Skin Records Ltd, and I'm based in Manchester, and from the very start my life has always in some way or form, has been and pretty much will always be involved in music.
From the age of twelve, when I was at school, (and this is not a fairy tale it is true) that was the first time I seen a music software programme, most lunch breaks and after school hours we spent trying to learn cubase and gain an understanding to how music was made.
When I left school and reached the age of 19, I had not done much music, I never realised or was told what was available for me to do and how to follow a career in the music industry, but still I had a burning passion for music and find a sound engineering course, it was really great, I spent ever hour of the day learning how to work the mixing desk to making tracks on reason, using a compressor and mic'ing up a drum kit.
Since then that has encouraged me to make alot of tracks, that is what I really enjoy doing when I have a spare hour or two.
Also I do and still very much enjoy my role in Red Skin Records, I have met so many interesting people, and some do have an incredible amount of talent but just need the right outlet to get their music heard by the right audience and others or still very good but just need abit advice and pointing in the right direction.
That's why I really do feel so lucky working in this company, I feel Red Skin Records and the people in our team have created a massive opportunity for me to help realease and sign the very well known to the very talent unsigned, and I'm very fortunate and dedicated to making sure everyone involved in our team is heard and has a chance to shine.
Anyway enough about me, it is time to tell you more about the company.
The label Red Skin Records, is a brand new digital record label that is signing new and up and coming talent. Red Skin Records has deliberately chosen to be a digital record label, because music has become widely available on digital devices. More music has been purchased through digital download sales than ever before and physical record sales are dropping. The digital download market has increased by four hundred percent in the last year and as a result, overall sales of music singles have increased by more than fifty percent.
However we do not just sell your music on line as we are a complete record label we provide a complete and comprehensive service for our signed artist which include Press releases, Online promotion Shoot a video Promotion and airplay of your music video, Remixes of your tracks by other Record Producers, Radio Plugger, Personalized P.R. campaign, Artwork and Photo shoots, also the music that we do release does not have to be new music, so don't think you have to get in a studio and make a brand new album/ep/lp or single, it just needs to be of very good music quality and also not being sold through any other outlet.
We are looking for music of all genres, selecting prolific and articulate individuals. Due to the high level of competition but minimum outlets, The A&R team at Red Skin are looking to create opportunities for Artists/Musicians and Producers. At this present moment in time I am looking forward to receiving material of a high quality sound, but more importantly, finished material.

Thankyou.

Music:

I absolutely do enjoy lot’s of different types of music from jazz to pop, hip hop to rock, as long as music production is at the highest quality, I know that it is great news for the artists because quality means music product is able to be released and sold on a world wide scale.

Movies:

Films, o my gosh, I have seen so many, but my favourites must have to be............... The last king of scotland, that was an excellent film and it did educate my mind, Also Five Fingers, Unknown, and Saw III, with them films I did enjoy trying to work out the plot, and by time the film comes to an end it did show me what a rubbish detective I would be.

For just relaxing and having a nice chilled night in, and having something good to laugh at I did enjoy Littleman, Norbit, Date Movie, Living High ... yea them sort of films can lift any bad moods.

O Cartoons I've got to say they were never like this my day...The kids have got it great with cartoons like Barnyard, Over the hedge, Flushed away and Hoodwinked they were great to watch.

I could go on and on I've seen so may films I could give you a film guide, So I'm going to stop right there. lol

Television:

I don't really watch much T.V but I do have to catch Eastenders, and I am very upset if i don't get my daily dose of the show, Also now again I do like to watch programmes were the presenter goes uncover to show you what's really going on in some company's....and it's shocking.

Books:

Book's really and truly I've not ever really had as much time for them as I would of like. But in the past I have read some good poetry books and of coures being a woman the good old romantic story's........so I had abit a free time on my hands

Heroes:

I don't have no heroes, I suppose if you believe in yourself, try not to harm no one, stay aware of your actions and work to be the best you can..........Who really need's a hero.
