When I Was Just Little

April 24, 2014

When I was just  little

I asked my mother

What will I be

Will I be a Indie artist

Will I be rich

Here’s what she said to me

 

If you want to be an indie artist you have to be a little daft. It’s a hard road to go down when only a few see the light.

But before you decide, ask yourself – can you make a loud room quiet? Being one myself, that has been there and done that,  can you make the hair stand up on their arms? Does the story you wrote make them smile and cry? It takes a lot more than just being able to sing or perform a song. It takes a creator, an innovator – one who is not afraid to break new ground. It takes invention and reinvention. It takes a gift that very few have. The gift to move people with their words and their music. If you have that,  at least you have a fighting chance because like I said,  it’s a long road that few make it down.

Beyond being good you can either be very lucky or very smart. Lucky is easier, but do you think you can find an angel investor to help get your career off the ground? Beause you have to record, produce, manufacture merchandise, pay for radio promotion, pr, booking agents. It all costs money if ya don’t have an angel with at least 100 grand then you better be very smart. Smart meaning,  research the business you are in,  I mean really research it .

Develop a business plan to include marketing. Even if you don’t have the thousands behind you – you can do this if you plan the right strategy and if that doesn’t work – try a new strategy.

Because if you can make the hair stand up on their arms, make them smile, cry and feel what you created, if you can move them –   You got it.

Brad Tucker recently released his new single, Straight to the Sun, to world-wide radio promotions.  It has been well received and picked by the BBC and major stations on a global scale.

Canadian born singer/songwriter Brad Tucker has been writing and performing music professionally since 1996 with the release of his first studio recording “The Color of Love”. He was first recognized nationally in 2003 with a prestigious nomination for an ECMA Award, along- side of major artists including Anne MurrayGreat Big Sea, and The Rankin Family. As his musical journey came to fruition, more nominations and awards followed. “I’m thankful for my accomplishments so far, but the greatest reward for me is seeing the hearts of my fans being touched in a positive way”, say’s Tucker. He continued, “We have the power as musicians to speak to the lives of people and to me that only leaves one choice… positive verses negative”. Brad is a great entertainer with real emotion in his vocal performance. His songs come from his heart and reflect his values, and the stories come from personal experiences that everyone can relate to.

Brad’s new album reflects his talent both as a singer and as a songwriter.  His entire album is the best of the best, utilizing Brad’s talents with the collaboration of some of Music City’s best songwriters, and produced by Emmy award winner Kenny Royster and Grammy nominated producer Kent Wells, both veteran producers in Nashville.

Brad spoke of working with Musik and Film ” I’m sure if any musician was asked what they would like to accomplish with their gift of songs, they would reply, simply reach and connect with people through their music. Working with MUSIK and FILM has helped me accomplish this! Thank you MAF for your support of independent artists like me, who just don’t have the big budgets that major labels have. Because of you we can still make a difference. My hat’s off to you all!”

There’s a lot more music constantly turning in Tucker’s heart and mind.  Musik Radio Promotions is excited to present his music to the world and we expect to see him climbing the charts with his hit songs!

In May 2013 Bryce released “Dead Man Walking” – the first recording to come from his record deal with ‘Musik and Film‘. The single reached #2 on the New Zealand iTunes country charts off the back of an appearance on New Zealand national television show “Seven Sharp”.

In August 2013 Bryce released “You Got Me” to kick off his national New Zealand tour with internationally-renowned singer-songwriter Paul Ubana Jones. “You Got Me” charted #4 in the ECMA charts.

In November 2013 Bryce released ‘The Brightest Star” to coincide with a nationwide tour in Australia partnering with the World Vision sponsor a child program.

Recently, Bryce completed his second full-length album “Hope Mountain” and released the first single from the album “More Than A Mountain”.  Musik Radio Promotions has begun a world-wide radio campaign with the single being picked up by several BBC networks immediately.
