I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
Christian

Hey, is that Grampa from "Christmas With Grampa" the same Grampa from "Grampa's Moonshine"? Because if it is, maybe he should stop tasting his own product. Then he wouldn't be so hungover! :)
