Looking for some new music?  Looking for something a little different from what you’re used to hearing?  Consider purchasing my new album “Freedom – EP” from Amazon MP3!

This is my first ever album to be released ANYWHERE, and I recorded the entire thing right here in my bedroom with limited equipment.

What did I use?  I used a borrowed powered mixer, a borrowed Audio Technica Condensor Microphone, a $400 HP PC with Vista 32-bit Home Premium, FL Studio, Audacity, and a couple guitars!  That’s IT!  It took almost a year of work, recording, and writing, but it is FINALLY complete.

If you’re interested in purchasing my new 6-song EP, just click on the picture below:

Myspace.Com and Toyota Music are hosting a competition for unsigned and independent bands and artists. The way it works is each band who enters gets a widget that plays one song of theirs. They are responsible for taking this widget and spreading the word to anyone and everyone. The more people who put the widget on their myspace, facebook, blog, and other pages, the more of a chance the band/artist has of winning.

Right now I am in 4th place of over 1,200 Bands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please help me get to the top and remain at the top until July 1st (This is when no more submissions are taken and 5 finalists are chosen)

When you’re in a band, and you’re first starting out, you really want to stand out.  There are many things lacking in new bands today – and one of them is the knowlege and understanding of using a basic P.A system.  The result of this is playing crappy live shows.  A bad P.A setup can ruin any good band’s sound.  In this article, I will tell you the BASICS: basic equipment for live shows, basics of EQ, etc., and make it easy enough for a child to understand.

Music influences our lives in so many different ways.  There’s always a song for any mood we are in – be it happy, sad, angry, hyper, or romantic.  We all love different genres of music; some of us are more selective, while others love a whole variety of genres.  And who doesn’t love finding NEW music?  We’ve all have had those moments where we’re in the car with the radio on and we hear a song and think “WHO DOES THAT SONG?!” as we wait for the dj to announce who the artist is.

The internet has a TON of places to listen to music online for free – some are legal, some are not.  I wanted to find a place online where I can stream audio from the internet and discover new music.  I was browsing the internet for that very thing, and that’s when I ran into Pandora Radio (www.pandora.com)
