I live for music. There's nothing like being in the studio working on a track. I honestly can't remember a time when I wasn't a musician (music became my passion at a VERY young age). In fact, learning to read music came before learning to read a book. My tastes in music are varied. R&B, Gospel, Country, Pop, Rock and Smooth Jazz are my preferred genres, but I also like being introduced to new sounds. Lyrics are very important to me. Words are powerful. When spoken or sung just the right way, they have the ability to move mountains. After all these years, it still amazes me how much you can convey in the small number of words that fit into a single song. Teaching Music Marketing and Advanced Music Publishing at Five Towns College on Long Island is another one of my passions. I developed the program 25 years ago, when I was known as Professor Faber (or "Professor Sue," as they affectionately called me back then). I love my students -- they're "my kids." I teach them how not to get burned in the music industry. They teach me how not to get old!
Several of my former and present students are my friends on and off MySpace, and are also some of my favorite people. Last year, one of my graduates, Geoff "Lip" Danielik, signed an exclusive songwriting agreement with my company, ChromeOrange Music. We've also signed long-time friend and country/rock singer/songwriter Bob Koenig. His band, Koenig's Road will be recording one of my songs, "The Best Things." You've never heard a country/rock artist this good this far north of Nashville!
ChromeOrange Music has new signings planned for the remainder of this year and into 2010, including some young, up-and-coming talent that will also be a driving force behind ChromeOrange's special initiative, The Anthem For Change Project, which we hope will eventually be an official non-profit organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of people who are in need all across America. ChromeOrange Music is blessed to have so many community-minded artists on its roster.
Thanks for listening, and come back often to hear new music!
