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!

Independent artist gets the attention of Greenpeace and Spotify and joins world famous
artists, declaring the Arctic a global sanctuary. Watch video in support!
 
Ronny Morris joins Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Richard Branson and 
Chris Martin in line up for Greenpeace

NEW YORK, NY – April 7, 2014 – Greenpeace and Morris Music are proud to announce that Award Winning recording artist Ronny Morris will release his first track in support of Greenpeace, taken from his debut album entitled Sweet Silence.

Musik Radio Promotions will release the track in a worldwide radio campaign in support of the project.

The song, titled “Built to Last” which includes the release of three music videos and twelve remixes by artist like Rich Morel (Pink, Depeche Mode, The Killers), DJ Ganga and Leon El Ray, is scheduled to be available via Spotify and all digital retailers from April 7, 2014. Ronny Morris is teaming up with Greenpeace and Spotify on the release of this charity single where all revenue will go to the support of the Save The Arctic movement, which includes prominent names such as Radiohead, Sir Paul McCartney, and Chris Martin from Coldplay, supporting over 5 million people worldwide who has already signed the petition .

Birgitte Lesanner, Head of Communications in Greenpeace Nordic, is pleased to have Morris join their prestigious lineup of musicians who have joined over 5 million people worldwide who have petitioned for saving the Artic. ”We’re grateful for Ronny Morris and Spotify’s support to the Arctic campaign. The livelihood of the unique wildlife in the Arctic is changing rapidly. However, the very same oil companies that caused the ice to melt in the first place do not see it as a warning sign. Unfortunately they see the melting ice as a business opportunity. Only a strong global movement can stop the Arctic oil rush,” says Ms. Lesanner.

Ronny Morris, who is an avid proponent of Greenpeace, is thrilled that he can do his part in addressing this global issue. ”The Arctic is melting faster than anyone could help open people’s eyes to the great danger we are in. Hopefully, some will even join the movement to protect the Arctic,” says Ronny Morris. “Being that the U.N. Secretary-

General is currently traveling to Greenland to inspect the consequences of global warming should definitely raise concern for everyone.” The Save the Arctic campaign works for a ban on offshore oil drilling in the Arctic region, a stop on unregulated and destructive fisheries in the Arctic and a global sanctuary on the uninhabited area around the North Pole.

Morris’s music has been featured in award winning films and major American TV shows such as One Tree Hill, Brothers Sisters and Ghost Whisperer and was recently honored with two HMMA awards. Remixes of his songs are available on more than sixteen compilation CDs sold in 52 countries worldwide, including the world renowned Buddha Bar Compilation.
