Network Globally!!!!!!! The Launch of My New Blog, Globalmusicbusiness.blogspot.com

At recent music conferences and seminars, panelists talked about the advantages of networking globally. For example, at the Radio Music Conference held on March 22, 2008 in Albany, GA, John Christmas, a successful sports and entertainment attorney, and Alan Johnston, a successful music consultant, both talked about going global with your music. John Christmas said that there are many English-speaking countries that love hip hop music for example. John said there are sooooo many opportunities for artists to get their music heard in other countries but many artists fail to take advantage of that. So think outside the box and network globally!





Again, the advantage of networking globally was discussed at BMI's The Art of Songwriting seminar held on April 2, 2008 at Emory University. There, Keri Hilson, a member of The Clutch and a successful songwriter on her own who has written over 200 songs , said that her first song placement was with an Asian artist who didn't speak any English. She learned that the artist was looking for material through a producer with whom she was working. Keri Hilson and her producer thought outside the box, meet someone from another country and got her first placement. And the rest, as they say, is history!





So U.S. artists, don't limit yourself to just networking with people from the U.S. Now you can network internationally online. You are just a few clicks away from meeting someone from another country so click away! That one person could possibly change your life and your music career!





Since this blog is really dedicated to songwriting, I've created a new blog to help you expand your music to the global market. Just go to globalmusicbusiness.blogspot.com and you'll find information on how to network globally!
