They call me the “Indie Record Breaker”, I'm an indie record label owner, digital distributor/music business consultant to multiple top 20 Billboard charting artists, a known speaker, IBS panelist in NYC and Boston, and author .Rebelling against the shady, bloodsucking vampires of the record industry, I now want to share the lessons learned. I've written numerous articles and the recent 7 Key Code System on the indie music business.Back in 2002, I started a small indie record label from scratch on my laptop (Blaze The World Records). Blaze ended up putting out one of the largest independent releases in the world for the second quarter of 2003 (Kool G Rap), shipping almost 20,000 units in the first day. With several top radio charting artists on the college radio charts and several reaching the top 10 (Organic Thoughts, Kool G Rap, Lyrical, etc), we also released 3 top 10 Billboard charting songs (Kali-4-nia Dream’n, Rugged Road, Boom Drah). We even released a Grammy nominated single. I thought we had it all, staying in expensive hotels, big record release parties in New York City, $40,000+ music videos, my record label was thriving and I began to work with the largest major label in the world. All the while I operated under the theory that all you needed was great music and to have a great distribution deal. Boy was I wrong.Known for a sharp sense of humor and sarcasm, but someone who tells it like it is, in a no holds barred fashion, I learned to cut straight to the point every time. Harshly critical of the major labels and Payola, I dedicated myself to teaching Indie Artists and labels how to break without any major label interference. All this has turned me into an original Indie Renegade.Independence and freedom, those are the core values of my heart. Music is the last expression of our freedom that they have not taken from us yet and we won't stop, they can't stop us! I won't rest until my brothers' and sisters' music has poured through every nook and cranny of the streets and the earth. Music is the song of our soul and no one will control our soul. If you feel what I am saying join me in the most historical revolution in the freedom of independent music!www.7KeyCode.com

7 Key Code Testimonials

"Reading the 7 Key Code System was like a shot in the arm!. It was a revival to me. I have been in the music business since I was born and this was an eye opener. I have seen results already and I just bought it 2 weeks ago. I had come to an impasse in my career, struggling and looking for answers. I am an open minded person who wants to educate myself and you have been an inspiration and guidance for me. I kick myself for not doing it sooner. I have implemented the fan club and saw new avenues in Myspace that I didn’t realize were there. Before getting the 7 Key Code System I was hating this, now I am seeing results everyday."


- Karen (Artist and Indie Record Label Owner), www.sotosoundz.com
***********************************************

"We were getting ripped off left and right by everybody and their mother. It seemed like everyone was trying to take advantage of us. After working with Jonah, I felt comfortable because he is an honorable, solid guy and only passed on many of his trustworthy contacts. Since working with him we have had 3 Top 10 Billboard charting songs (Keely B for Kali-4-nia Dream’n, Rugged Road and YGO’s Boom Drah) and worldwide digital and ringtone distribution. I highly recommend the 7 Key Code System to any artist or label out there trying to break through this crazy music world."


- Martin Scott, CEO of Negril West Records out of Kingston, Jamaica.
***********************************************

"If you know the Jonah, and are familiar with his commitment to the independent artist, then you know it is the perfect thing to turn to for any needs the serious musician has while trying to navigate the shark filled waters of major label interests and record executive politics."


- Lyrical, Independent Artist and CEO of Invasion Entertainment www.myspace.com/lyrical
***********************************************

"As a DJ and label owner, I can only do so much, make music, play gigs. I was just barely scraping by. I can tell by that using these techniques I am not going to have to worry any more! Jonah’s advice is worth its weight in gold."


- DJ Hush, President of Mother Tongue Records www.myspace.com/hushhaus
