How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
the internet changes the music industry in many ways.For one it gives the artist a chance to get out there because millions of people have the internet.Also the album sales drop because of music downloads and such...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
id love to sign a contract

Her name is Nina
In the small friendly town of Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania, Nina grew up in a home filled with song. Her mother, a church choir vocalist and her father, an avid “southern blues guitarist” would fill Nina’s everyday life with beautiful, heartfelt music. As Nina tells it, "There was always music in our life, the church, the house and always the car radio." At an early age, Nina taught herself “the feel” and “interpretation” of pop music. It was then that Nina began developing her own distinctive style that has been called “the heart and soul of a woman in the body of young girl.”
Eager to perform for a larger audience than just family and friends, in 2003 the Tarver’s traveled to Chattanooga, Tennessee for the audition of the “Gimme The Mike”. Her talent left the producers speechless and she was immediately given a spot on the show. Nina received tremendous critical praise from judges Deborah Gibson and legendary pop vocalist Gladys Knight all the while building a solid fan base as Nina became one of the finalist in the competition. Upon Nina's return to Pennsylvania, Nina began recording demos and performing numerous shows in the southeastern part of the United States.
