Lost Tunes

Lost Tunes

Lost tunes, or should I say looney Tunes. Why do you think , where do you think your songs go when you post them on i tunes? It's real simple. they going swimming with the other 22 million songs in the river of drowning tunes. How can you save them? I would like to hear your answer. Believe me there is hope, you just have to have the right life preserver.

Simplicity is genius. The answer to this question is not rocket science, nor is it trickery. It's plain old rolling up your sleeves and getting to work. Most people I talk to about this this topic seem to be paralyzed by it's ramifications. Remember when you where a kid how difficult it was to ride a bike? The same goes here, once you learn it's very simple. The one thing you have to remember is if you stop peddling, you will fall. Yes it's that simple!

There are some basic things you need to do to get going, and we want to help you with that. Come join us at myamp.org and see how easy it really is.

30 seconds of success

30 seconds

Can you give me 30 seconds of your undivided attention? I truly doubt it. But I will take what I can get.  If you where to talk to a teenager about emails he would probably laugh. He may say something like; like, why not text? Emails are becoming to long for the new generation. It's apparent people are thinking more in bytes than in chunks.

Everyone one wants everything to happen for them now. That's the culture e have created. So, what do we do about it. It's simple, join the party! The music business is no stranger to this way of thinking. The only problem here is there is no 30 second cure, or remedy or a fast track to success. 

How do we join the party? AMP is working very hard on developing a more efficient model  to achieving your goal in all areas of the music industry; BEGINNING WITH THIS BLOG.

We are going to give you smaller bytes to ingest in the coming year. We're cleaning out the fluff closet, and only keeping what is useful to your needs.

Music 2012 / what do you think

What do you think

I spent the last year yacking about all of the stuff I learned through research and conversations within the music industry. I shared lots of forecast, statistics , and opinions from industry leaders. I hope you  gleaned some useful informative information from all of the info. I learned a lot doing all of the research.

As I begin to plan my strategy for writing my 2013 blog, I need to hear from you. What are your needs, what would you like this blog to be. I personally would like to see it become a community where we all share our knowledge, and skills with each other. One thing I can't do is read your mind. Let me know what you would like to see, and I will do my beast to make it happen.

This is your blog, take ownership, and let us know what you think.

Music business 2013

What's next

OK, let me get my crystal ball going.  It's been a long ever changing, morphing, mysterious  year for the music world. As I reflect back at the mountain of opinions, the disagreements on where things are going,it becomes apparent no one owns a crystal ball. So instead of making predictions, what you say we talk about the things we know for sure are happening, and the changes that are coming?

Record labels are getting smaller, radio is shrinking, CDs are going the way of the 8 track, Eps and downloads are the wave you can ride for now. Mobile surfing of the web is swallowing up the PC, while mobile surfing today is at a whopping 64 percent, and growing extemporaneously. Some estimates are saying as high as 90 percent of web surfing will be on mobile devices by the end of 2014. Even if their wrong that is huge!

Everyone one in the advertisement world are shaking there heads while trying to figure where the ad buck is going, There's a new pie being baked and it's not quite clear where to slice it. The money hasn't gone anywhere , there are still literally, billions of bucks looking for a home.. Wouldn't you like some of them to move in with you? Pay attention, remember their still house hunting. You just have to fit the buyer to the home.

Music it self is going through a subtle but needed change. It seems like the public is yearning for the day of the true artist to revive. There seems to be an unrest at the overly produced , cookie cutter stuff the record labels are blanketing the public with. Support creativity, by supporting the indie artist. One thing that annoys me is when I hear people screaming for new fresh stuff, and then find out they are not supporting the indie music. These artist make their music because they love it and they are true to their art.. They have to eat too!

Are you a music potato? Do you sit on your duff listen but not support the music community? Just saying.

My name is J.Grady President and founder of AMP, The Association of Music professionals. The AMP family wants o wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous and Happy new year!!!!!!!
