As a music publisher, one must interact with and have connections with A&R executives, producers,

I come from a musical family. All my years growing up, I've always had an interest in music. My uncle loves poetry and my parent's rap, but I was always the one who didn't know how to rap or sing or anything. I was more interested in the instrumentals. Every single song I've listened to I was always into the beat or instrumental instead of the lyrics. I've never really thought of producing until I was inspired by a YouTube page. The page I came across is called Trap Nation. They have all sorts of nice instrumentals that really inspired me.

In 2002 I was placed on orders to Camp Casey South Korea. I was placed in a combat arms unit, Charlie Company, 1st and 15th Field Artillery. This was by far the most challenging, and physically demanding unit I had ever been in. I didn’t take leave while in Korea, so I did a flat out non-stop 12 month tour.

“One of the largest and most influential electronics companies during the 20th century was the Radio Corporation of America, or RCA. At one time, the breadth of its operations included everything from making vinyl records to building and manufacturing communications satellites.” (Engineering and Technology History Wiki: RCA (Radio Corporation of America)). Today, RCA stands as of the most popular and successful record labels in the music industry, and it serves more purposes now than ever before. Over the years, RCA has taken on responsibilities such as searching for talent, signing talent, developing the artists (sometimes), recording and producing their artists, promoting and marketing their artists, and exploiting their

With a reputation that precedes them, A-Team Studios has a waiting list of young hopefuls that seek their guidance. They assist with all aspects of artist development and management including vocal lessons, choreography, record label showcasing, music video production, image consulting, social media management, concert production and so on. As industry veterans, they understand how difficult it can be for young talented artists to catch their big break into the entertainment business.

It has always been a tradition for record labels to own the masters of the artist sign to the roster; after all, they are the ones spending millions of dollars to promote and market, as well as distribute the artist’s music. Evidently, Prince disagreed with this notion. Prince did not like the fact that the labels were able to decide when his album should be

Since DK was officially disbanded in ’09, I took a full year to spend with my husband and focus on the next journey. Then I headed down to Nashville. Started writing and really exploring the type of sound I wanted. The process is still moving forward. I’m not working with a label, which means a lot of creative freedom, but it also means the process takes a lot longer if you want to do it right.

While wildly successful, the group ended on a very troubling note and it seemed impossible for a reunion to ever be considered. The fans believed it was possible though and have followed the members of the band through their adult lives. Watching as the boys matured into men with families and careers outside of the music business. While not everyone is returning to the stage, the three entertainers appear to be enough for the fans of the Bay City

A group of people subject to continuous glamour and publicity has taken the spotlight, creating the American world of the “celebrity”. “It does not seem to matter what the man is the very best at; so long as he has won out in competition over all others, he is celebrated” (P. 74). Celebration is the basis of their existence. Propagated by the mass media, they have become part of the national prestige—shadow of money and power. This competition for attention is joined

They appeal to multiple generations of viewers, providing a common experience. The tradition of winning and losing in the competition based on personal actions became the viewers job to decide. The acceptance and celebration of those that were not the typical performer challenged stereotypes and social norms. Moreover, it has provided a path that is based on the individual’s acceptance by the group, not just on the hard work of the individual. America’s Got Talent and The Voice are following the lead of American Idol. Reality Television allows for home viewers to imagine what is possible. Popular Art reflects the era, communities and social normative of its

Back in the 1990s, music ruled the entertainment world and it was led by five legendary record labels. As the saying goes, "they don't make 'em like they used to" - a statement that holds true to the way record labels were run in the 1990s and early 2000s. These five record labels were at the top of their games, and their artists became household names and some of the biggest entertainers in the world. These labels operated more like a family, and most artists would have done anything to be a part of the movement.

I am just an old soul 21 year old that shops at theft shops living in Arkansas that believe in you Numi and your brand wanting to see you WIN because when you win, we ALL win including your people and team which leads to plenty of opportunities for all. I rather stay down and loyal to one dope artist such as yourself Numi and work like crazy and once you are winning than musically branch out and work with other upcoming artists/legends in all genres. I am not sure if that makes sense, but yeah In the mean time I am down here working on getting better at playing the piano, sound designing, and

‘Independent record labels have been around since music started being recorded’ (King, 2012, p.13). Created by fanatics with a passion for music, the recording and production process was often self-funded and the purpose was to nurture talent and creativity. Most of the major record companies we know today would have once started in this manner (King, 2012).

“Since you are all songwriters for the band, a music publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing would be crucial,” stated Sonya, “we make sure that you, the songwriter/copyright holder, receives the money that you deserve. Now I know that you have a lot of music on the internet, but I just want to double-check that it is all properly copyrighted.” “Yes, we email ourselves every file and we are planning on going to the Copyright Office soon.” “That’s great to hear! Now let’s talk about your choices for deals. The first deal is a Songwriting Deal, this is intended for songwriter’s who are just starting out. You must record and/or release a certain number of songs in your term. You will also get an advance of royalties or a weekly stipend. The ownership will go to the publisher for all of the compositions that are delivered throughout your term because we will give you creative advice and also team you up with some of our expert songwriters. There will also be a 50/50 split on your royalties for the lifetime of the song,” Sonya announced, “The next deal gives you a little bit more freedom as a songwriter. It is known as the Co-Publishing Deal. This also includes a term, delivery requirement and advances against royalties. The main difference between this deal and the previous one is the fact that the ownership is split. Since the songwriter would own the copyright, they will take some of the publisher’s share. So instead of the split being 50/50, it would be
