Since I'm the main member, I figured what-the-heck ...

On occasion, it's tough because I run a very busy company. I'm mainly a songwriter and a producer - not really into that whole "artist" thang.

Good for listeners - bad for the commercial industry.

Being a Music Publisher and a Songwriter gives me a very unique view. On the one hand - as a Publisher, I have seen our negotiations on commercial material (standard radio songs) drop considerably. This is a negative to Writers. It does allow us to deliver content to prospective buyers much more quickly and inexpensively.

A positive aspect is that it allows our writers to deliver material to the public and develop a fan base, as well as, release previews for mass feedback. It also allows us to release material in commercial forms to generate funds for our Writers. This also leads to the problems that labels have as it is very difficult to protect the Writer's material.

Yes! There is MADD overhead in this biz. Also, CD's gotta get made and to the stores.

You can see my whole bio on my page at my main site.

I grew up in the biz. Started luvin Zep as my first rock band. I've done sound for a lot of people. From Tony Orlando and Dawn to Bon Jovi to Andy Williams to U2. I appreciated them all. My company Total Music & Entertainment has done all kinds of jobs for so many different productions that I think I could take a little from most of those experiences.

Pro Tools, Sonar, SoundForge, some plugins and I'm good to go!
