PART I

In any system, community, organization or organized unit, there will be the quest for money, power, and some sort of fame/respect and the Music Industry is no different than the United States government.

Look I don’t want you to sit down and write songs because you think it’s cool or because you think it’s going to be easy. It’s not. Being an artist is not that cool… all the time. The whole philosophy behind Music Industry School is that I want to help artists get the training they need to reach their musical dreams. MISS is about self-mastery, music-mastery, and achieving new opportunities with your music career – so you can WIN! But…

If you don’t keep up with trends – you are making this much harder than it needs to be, for me… and for you. I know you probably don’t want to compare yourself and you don’t want to kep up with the trends, but you have no choice.

The reason why you may want to take a closer look and listen to everything, is because your music – is governed by 4 people… Even if you are signed, you still have to follow the guidelines that these 4 people set. Even if you’re desperate to get a record deal, you still have to follow these guidelines.

Should you be scared or not?

If you were to keep up with the news about file sharing & piracy lawsuits and the actions the RIAA and MPAA are taking against offenders, I think you’d be frightened and even startled a little bit…and to be honest, you should be.

You should be frightened because on one hand, you’re probably offending an artist by taking “money out of their pocket”…

On the other hand these people will find your computer, sue you, and leave you with a bad taste in your mouth.

For so long have I waited for the industry to find an alternate solution, suing someone over file sharing is only going to make matters worse because no matter what they do or say, there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Sure it might cut down on it for a little while, but as technology advances – we become more free to do what we want, when we want, how we want. more…

I am releasing Song Sharpener tomorrow all across the United States & Canada to anyone who is willing to take the 5 minutes to download it (provided you have high-speed). You can download the software for free, 100% absolutely free! This is extremely important to me because I’ve been thinking about it, planning it, trying to decide what I should include, what I shouldn’t include, and what the point should be.

Song Sharpener has four (4) primary features that would benefit a singer/songwriter. Check it out. more…
