Last Blog Post of 2009
To all of my music friends…
I write this in the throes of our old year celebration. I’ve slipped out of my party to send you this last hoorah! of the year. It is with great awe and appreciation that I remember how wonderful 2009 has been and I feel very blessed to have had you as a part of it.
I wish you all the success that you’ve wished for and that you can handle for the new year. I trust that we will continue our wonderful relationship and that your music career will bring you all that you desire. 2010 looks to be very promising for those that have put the time and effort into their endeavors. I trust that you are one of the lucky ones…
Have fun, be merry, find success and most important of all… be safe.
Happy New Year Everyone!
Sincerely,
Duss Rodgers

The Holiday Season – A Time for Sharing & Caring

True enough sharing information with your fans is essential to your survival and can be a welcome addition to your music marketing efforts as well as being a great booster for your online music sales… the caveat is that you also run the risk of over sharing. Read more
Branding and Your Music Career… Is It Important For Your Success?
Branding and music are really two very different entities in terms of the levels of success generally achievable by independent musicians without huge conglomerate backing. For instance artists without the support of major record labels like EMI, Sony or BMG have no business expecting the same branding power as signed artists who do… Read more
Do You Copyright Your Music?
I know. Stupid question right? Well not as stupid as you may think. I just finished an interview with an attorney who practices entertainment and creative business law and according to him, this is the one area that most musicians suck at.
