If you ask the people around me, they'd probably say I've been a 'musician on a mission' with no choice but to find a way to get radio play and promotion or die a musical death... Sure I could pull in some gigs and get by, but it wasn't good enough. I had to break through. I needed to find a better way of living my life as a musician!
And then, in my search for airplay, I met hundreds of Indie musicians just like me and we connected. We connected because we felt the same disenchantment and frustration of working in an industry that kept beating us down. An industry that is hell-bent on keeping its future artists, it's future bands and hit songwriters out of the loop.
But not anymore! (*imagine me dancing on a table!!*) lol
You may have heard me say repeatedly on the show: 'Fame Games - where MUSIC LOVERS get the DIVERSITY they want and ARTISTS the INDEPENDENCE they need.'
That's what I'm doing it for -- for CREATIVE INDEPENDENCE (breaking the major label formulas apart, because artists won't have to go through them to get to network radio or to get regular rotational airplay) and FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE (the artist can sell their music directly to the fan on-line. Mass airplay = record sales + gigs + recognition).
hip hip... hurray!!!
"What would the world be like with no more boring, manufactured music being force fed to radio ... " (as Sid say on our demo for ABC)
It will be a world where Indie music finally gets heard! What a great time to be an Indie!
Thanks for popping in. This page is being developed in-between recording 5 shows a week - so please forgive while I build it piece by piece! If you are one of the Fame Games artists, BIG THANKS for your loyalty and support these past two years. Because of you, we have been able to spread the word that Indie music is good enough to be on radio and deserves a chance to break through !
Will anyone second that?
