I’m pleased to announce that I have been asked to moderate “It’s Broken, Fix It”, a panel featuring multi-platinum Record Producer/Record Mogul Dallas Austin (Madonna, TLC, Pink, Kelis), Steve Yegelwel, President, S-Curve Records and other industry leaders at the 2008 CMJ Music Festival taking place in New York City next month.
This is the first year I’ve been asked to speak at a coveted CMJ engagement and I am truly honored. I am proud to add this amazing focal point to the growing list of opportunities where those in the know including EXTRA, G4 TV, Style Network, Music Connection Magazine and others, have asked my advice on music industry issues.
If you’re going to be at CMJ in NYC this year, hit me up and let’s grab a cocktail.
Big props to my friend and former signing Eric Hutchinson for his debut performance on Jay Leno tonight… it’s always nice to see talented young artists achieving their dreams, and equally as exciting when I can take credit/original bragging rights for said performance!!!
Congrats.
Congrats to my friends Family Force 5 on their debut at # 30 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart and # 8 on the Alternative Rock Chart!!! I was one of the early believers in these guys and signed them to Maverick back in 2005… These guys are living proof that hard work and unwavering belief in your music DOES pay off!!!
