Services

-Give them the opportunity to be considered or audition for the major label projects I work on. I work with most major labels (as well as some Indies.). I help them put together groups, find new solo artists to launch, songwriters for publishing deals, opportunities for producers. And much more. Additionally, I have worked on and continue to work on major music television shows such as American Idol and America's Got talent as a scout. For shows I work on I can can set up - private auditions directly in front of Executive Producers if I think they make sense for the show. No line waiting. Or multiple auditions etc. Provide networking opportunities to other artists, managers, and industry professionals whom I think the artist might be a fit for.
