Welcome to the world of music licensing. Although there are dozens of types of music licenses and possible scenarios, understanding a few of the major concepts and how to secure or grant a license helps protect you and your compositions.
MySpace.com is a valuable marketing tool for musicians. It is becoming a necessity for any musical artist — whether signed and selling or unsigned and hopeful — to have a profile on MySpace. Learn how it can help you gain a following, promote your recordings and gigs, and expose hungry Web surfers to your music.
Email is one of the most inexpensive ways to promote yourself or your band. When done respectfully, legally, and with consideration to your audience, it will help you build your image, as well as a fan base that looks forward to finding out about your performances and recordings.
To be a great singer, you need more than technique and
talent: You need confidence. Fran Vincent offers some
ideas for getting your inner singer "out of the shower and
into the spotlight."

Who I'd like to meet:
If you are an artist or a company and are wondering what you need to do to be competitive, how to get your music, product, or service into the market, how to utilize the media to your advantage, if the marketing materials you already have are competitive, or if your Web site is consumer-friendly, contact us for a free consultation. There is no obligation and we are happy to spend some time with you. =)
LET'S BE FRIENDS!
There are too many spammers on MySpace! So, we don't approve friend requests from people with private profiles, no info on their profiles, or those involved in pushing free ringtones, pharmaceuticals, weight loss products, MLM etc.!
Retro Island Productions are not attorneys.
All of our music business coaching work is done to the best of our knowledge and is for informational purposes. A qualified entertainment attorney is invaluable and we suggest that EVERYONE in this business have one!
Leave us a comment! Tell us what you want to know about the business, and perhaps we'll post some answers for everyone!
