FROM BRYANT STERLING: I have many years experience as a professional SINGER, SONGWRITER, COMPOSER, MUSICIAN and PRODUCER in the MUSIC INDUSTRY and have WORKED and WRITTEN SONGS with several MAJOR superstars such as STEVIE WONDER, TOMMY SHAW from the ROCK GROUP "STYX", TINA TURNER, MICHAEL JACKSON, AEROSMITH, HALL AND OATES and more, with albums of my own on the WARNER BROTHERS Record label, and with my own INDIE Label company since 1995 I call "OASiS RECORDS INTERNATIONAL". I also own my publishing company "TRY AND TRY AGAIN PUB. ASCAP".
What I want to offer ALL MY FRIENDS on SHOUTLIFE is the knowledge of the MUSIC INDUSTRY which I've gained through the years working in Los Angeles (aka Hollywood & L.A.), not only as an Artist, but working for Major Labels in A & R such the W.E.A. Group, WARNER Brothers, ELECTRA, ATLANTIC, GEFFEN Records and a Paralegal for some major MUSIC LAWYERS. I've worked in ALL areas of the MUSIC INDUSTRY: performing, composing, publishing laws, writing recording contracts, talent scouting, systems analyst, production, promotions, etc.
Now and most of all I want to help others and yourself know if you are getting a good deal or a GREAT deal or - well, you know. I also work with "ASCAP" - the "ASSOCIATION of SONGWRITERS, COMPOSERS, AUTHORS, and PUBLISHERS", which is the oldest and one of the biggest publishing companies in the world. I'm a member as a songwriter and publisher as well as their "REP" here in the state of Arizona where some of the best known writers in the world live. If you want or need any help I'm here and will answer all your questions and of course "IT'S FREE".
Here's how this will work: Submit a question about any subject about the MUSIC INDUSTRY. I will then post your question and answer so all on SHOUTLIFE can share. SAMPLE SUBJECTS ARE: publishing, record contracts, promoting, "indie websites" - ARE THEY WHAT THEY SEEM, should you PAY to put your music on an "indie website", Link exchange for your website - GOOD or BAD / YES or NO, copyrighting your material at no cost and anything you can think of - no matter what the subject. If you feel your question is dumb - remember, there are NO SILLY questions but plenty of VERY SMART RIP OFF-CON ARTISTS. TAKE CARE and BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!
NOTE: This group is NOT for PERSONAL TESTIMONIES or PROMOTIONS. It's ONLY FOR QUESTIONS, ANSWERS AND HELP IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. Those not following this policy will have their posts and group membership deleted, as respect for all members. Thank you for understanding. GOD BLESS you in your work for the Lord. Bryant Sterling.
