I LIVE Music and the Music Business! My "Work includes Consulting, Guidance, Educating, Writing & Providing Courses, Management Services, and Writing & Negotiating Contracts. Songwriting & Producing to keep insane :)
I love helping those who want to learn about, or who are, or want to be Singers, Musicians, Groups, Bands, Managers, Songwriters, Publishers, Producers, Production Companies, and/or Indie Record Companies, no matter what stage of their careers, no matter what style of Music...
Music
I started out as a Rock Singer/ Songwriter/Guitarist and I'm basically into Great Rock 'n Roll, but I like most types...
I look for Great Songs put out by Great Artists/Bands. It's gotta come from the Heart!!!
I hate most of the "safe acts" [borrrring] put out by the "Majors"... It's time they caught up with the world!
I love a lot of the unsigned acts out there - better than a lot of stuff I normally hear on commercial stations.
Movies
Sci-Fi and Martial Arts, Fantasy. Especially love 3D I-Max stuff...
Television
Rarely watch, but I like Sci-fi, 24, NCIS [good characters], and yeah, even the Phillies - they're fun to watch to clear my brain out between contracts :)
Books
Sci-Fi! Yeah, I love Star Trek - especially "the Next Generation"
Heroes
Those in the Music Industry who give it all they've got and never give up...
The title says it all: The Steps Artists, Managers, Producers and others interested in a Music Business Career should seriously give some thought to, before they start on the road upward...
It seems most everyone in the Music Industry knows me as "Professor Pooch" - so I guess that's who I am :). I was a Recording Artist waaay back [Rock Singer/Songwriter] but I've been guiding Music Biz Careers for the last 25 years as a Consultant, Educator, Advisor & Contract Specialist.
I help guide the careers of present and future Singers, Songwriters, Bands, Managers, Music Publishers, and Producers, as well as guiding Production Companies and Indie Labels. I take care of all their contractual needs, also, including writing, explaining and negotiating them.
Although I'm based in the Philly area, I have clients throughout the United States. I can help you on the Creative, Business and Legal ends, and I'll be happy to answer questions on the biz for free, right here on MySpace...

They admire each others work so much, they decided to put together what promises to be, a mini singer/songwriter festival.. Watch for special guests and a very memorable night at The Rex Theater, 1602 East Carson Street. Pittsburgh, PA 15203. 8pm. $10.
