I believe things come to you for a reason.  I have stumbled across messages on the subway that seem to have been written just for me at that moment, like "hang in there", "I hear you", who knows if they are heaven sent or just evangelistic angels here on earth planting messages for all those who seek.  I am a seeker, a seeker of answers, seeker of understanding, a seeker of clarity.  I want to share with my fans and hopefully vice versa books that have inspired me along …

I have recently assigned myself a mission to read the US Constitution.  I had to read it when I was in college government class, but I have been inspired lately by the 99-1% discussions.  I want to understand my rights, so I can also speak up about my grievances.  It is quite facinating to know that our forefathers had the insight to stand-up for something that are the principals and standards on which this country has been run.  Do you know your rights?  Do you also realize that …

I have entered to be a part of the reality web series to race around America in a Ford Escape.  The cool thing is you can be a part of it too.  When, my partner Kim and I,  are selected to be fierce competitors we will need a mighty team of strong social networkers to assist us with information or clues that we do not know.  We will have to reach out to our social networks for answers- you know like a "life line"!  We are looking for the fittest fingers and clickers out …

As I looked at my GPS, it read "0.2 miles to destination," we are in the middle of the Catskill and Berkshire Mountains in Hillsdale, NY and there are lots of beautiful green trees and rolling hills, yet no signs indicating that there was a large folk festival about to go down for 3 days. With only one other car on the road and no traffic, I was about to give my GPS a good whack because it has, once again, driven me to the middle of nowhere.  Then it appeared, like a desert mirage, Falcon …

A big thank you to BoCoCa Festival, BR & Timebomb, MakeMusicNY, and ErinYes for allowing me to rock Brooklyn with you this week.  I had a great time visiting the unique neighborhoods of Brooklyn, like Carroll Gardens, Prospect Heights, and Cobble Hill!  Thank you to all the fans that showed up and and for the new ones, who welcomed me into their neighborhood by singing along.  Thanks to Jibrail Nor, Matt Basile, and Udi Levy for playing along.  Happy to see that Brooklyn Fans were there- have a look, click here!

Thanks for sharing my music!  Tweet me when you are listening!

Week 9 of the Music Success in 9 Weeks Blog Challenge is probably the most important after you have established a fan base. It’s time to map out a plan of action of when to reach out to your fans in order to keep them interested. This is a true challenge for any artist to keep things interesting. Madonna was a master at this for years, others who evaded age in the music industry, Cher, Tina Turner. (My idols, if you have never seen them in concert run don’t walk and be sure to do it in …

Turn Yourself On! How many times have you said to yourself “This year I am going to lose that 10 pounds” but then proceeded to have cookies everyday and not modified your actions? Or said “This year I am going to meet new people” and you never change your routine to expose yourself to new people? I am a firm believer that the energy we put out to the world is often times the energy that is returned to us. In week 8 of the Music Success in 9 Weeks blog challenge, Ariel gives some …

Since week 6 & 7 of Music Success in 9 Weeks by Ariel Hyatt apply to fan communication and growing your mailing list, it is appropriate that I should include it in the same week. I am really going to utilize the tips in this chapter to improve the rate at which my email list grows. Until this point I have taken pride in having built relationships with my fans and never taking advantage of someone’s information and automatically adding them to my list, however I realize how many people have …
