Seventh Tower prove they can definitely hang with the big dogs on their debut release “Crown Me King” which is now available on iTunes as well as Spotify. Their second EP, “Path To Follow”(produced by Clint Lowery of Sevendust) is set to release April 15th 2014.

Seventh Tower is the perfect combination of energy and rock. This band has all the right stuff and has recently been picked up on the BBC radio network which broadcasts all over the UK!!!

“Musicians are usually able to identify and dissect their influences, and examine what it is that makes them tick. It takes a great musician to exercise these influences along with their own songwriting muscle. Seventh Tower does just that, releasing a debut EP that comfortably falls in line with the music veterans that inspired it.”

“With echoes of breaking Benjamin’s powerful melodies, Crossfade’s energetic guitar riffs, and Sevendust’s grit. Seventh Tower first strike proves that they can hang with the big kids. That’s immediately evident with “Crown Me King,” the album’s single and opener, and perhaps the strongest showcase. Vocals wear a rock edge while volleying between a soaring melody and gang vocals that leave a tasteful impact. Lyrics are sparked from his own experiences, focusing on the relatable plight of the every man’s struggle, but are laced with hope for ultimate applicability. Framed by fiery guitar licks, crafty bass lines, and steady drum work, this album is packaged for the center of you radio dial.”

Is The Dream of a Major Label Deal Just a Dream?

musikandfilm

October 23, 2013

Once upon a time an artist could dream they would be the lucky one–that a major record deal would appear under their pillow. They would wake up and go into a studio and record an album with a top-notch producer. Once the album was complete the major label would hire publicists, radio promoters and put them on tour with another major artist. Soon thereafter they would be a star. Nice dream. Unfortunately, that was once upon a time.

Today is a new day. Major labels still exist but on a different level. The days of discovering talent are over. EMI and all its subsidiaries went bankrupt and their catalog was sold for exploitation. There are no more development deals of which we know.. There are no more major record deals for the unknown artists. There are no more free development or PR or radio promotion. There is no one left to pick up the tab but the artist themselves.

Artists around the world can thank the digital age for this shift. Free downloads, free streaming — No more record stores, only a handful here and there. So how can a major label recoup their investment into developing a new artist? They can’t , that’s why those days are over.

Artists need to realize if they are going to make it — it is going to be up to them to hire the studios, the producers, the publicist and the radio promoter. They are going to have to be very savvy and educated on what’s happening in the industry today. They are going to have to work their social media, publicity and radio promotions.

I quote “. Commercial radio airplay remains the number one outlet for discovery” Here are the 12 strategies for success as an indie artist. .http://indieconnect.com/12-strategies-long-term-success-indie-artist/

Again I quote “Treat your career like a business – because it IS! “

As an artist you are the only one who can help you get to where you want to go in your career. So grab hold, educate yourself to the business today. Formulate a solid business plan. Associate yourself wisely and most of all create great music because its what you do best.

Her voice has a softness that draws you in as she sings from the soul.”

She’s no Sherlock Holmes OR even a cheap, Austin Powers knockoff, but in reality Bairu is a young, up-and-coming artist with plenty of worldly appeal. Bairu’s debut single “How could you” will be submitted to 150,000+ radio stations globally by Musik Radio Promotions. Sky’s the limit for the highly talented Bairu!

Thanks in large part to her parents, Bairu was able to travel abroad to places like Europe and Asia while also soaking in all the fine cultures that this United States has to offer. Her multicultural roots helped shape Bairu into the artist and person she is today. Not to mention, Bairu is not just fluent in English but also Mandarin Chinese. She prides herself in being a quality singer and a fine songwriter but Bairu also writes her own material, composes music and even dabbles in the area of co-producing. So, diverse is her middle name and multidimensional is the name of her game!

Surrounded by music since she was a kid, Bairu can proudly say that she is hitting all the right notes today. With the new single “How could you”, the California native invites you to a world full of heartfelt emotions that will cut right through you. The song centers around a loving relationship that can never be and so the ironic tale will come to life right before your ears. Bairu exhibits passionate vocals on the track while proving to have an incredibly delicate touch when it comes to singing. The lyrics are personal to the point where “How could you” will satisfy the appetites of many and quench the thirst of loyal listeners everywhere. The international recording artist brings world music to the forefront by drawing you in through romance and a melody to die for.

The 20-year-old musician is proud to announce that her YouTube account—BAIRUSTAR—has already received over 1,300,000 views while her Facebook page has over 116,000 fans from all over the globe! Bairu is definitely experiencing success in the early stages of her career, so “How could you” NOT get excited about the future of this young artist? Just as Jack Handey supplied his “Deep Thoughts” on “SNL”, Bairu is digging deep to give you grounded & delicious fruits of her labor. Bairu speaks from the heart, “There is nothing like good music to break down the artificial borders of this planet. Music is very spiritual; it has the power to bring people together.” Bairu has the power along with the proven success system behind her at Musik and Film and it’s no mystery at all that she is heading in the right direction.
