Carol Strickland is feeling no pain these days, as his single, ‘Bitterness and Pain’, is being heard on thousands of stations worldwide.

After signing a record and promotions deal with Musik and Film a few short months ago, ‘Pouring Rain’, Carol’s EP was released for distribution. Musik Radio Promotions began a campaign for the single, ‘Bitterness and Pain’, and immediately captured the attention of radio station managers across the globe including the BBC network and ECMA reporting stations.

Stephen Wrench says of Carol, “he writes with honesty and sings with emotion. Carol draws you in as he tells his stories in song”.

” Without any pretentiousness, Carol Strickland is true to his craft and easily demonstrates his compassion for each lyric, whether it concerns an abusive father in “Bitterness and Pain”, a love on the verge of being lost as in “Pouring Rain,” or an anthem of encouragement to givers in “Help Your Fellow Man. His “Good Intentions” project is a wonderful collection of a man who feels deeply for life, sings from the soul,and reminds all of us of our frailties and faith. It is his portrayal of faith and understanding of the struggle often to maintain it that sets Carol Strickland aside from other tune smiths.” Wayne Morton Operations Manager (Ret.)96.3 WGOG

Carol states, “After years of struggling to make it to the Country Radio airways and jacklegg promotion companies taking advantage of what money I had to spend. GOD brought me MUSIK AND FILM and I am more than satisfied. STEPHEN and Rhonda have truly brought this dream of mine to life. Being picked up by the BBC AND THE ECMA. Having more spins in 48 hours than I’ve had my entire music career.

And Carol can look forward to many more “spins” to come!

Cashbox Magazine Music Charts, has been reporting Adrianna Freeman’s song, “Either You Do or You Don’t” for weeks. The week of April 12, 2013 is no different as she charts at #2 along with country greats such as Ashley Monroe, Tim McGraw and Martina McBride.

Adrianna’s career as a country artist had stalled after being chosen as one of 12 artists with Teddy Gentry’s Cracker Barrel Contest for “Best New Nashville”. Adrianna’s bio states, “In accordance with the Best New Nashville album’s May of 2011 release, a national competition was launched, where fans were asked to vote for their favorite artist. The facilitators’ of the contest told Adrianna that she won the competition by a landslide. Even after winning the contest and Mr. Gentry’s star-power, Adrianna was still being told that there was no “market” for her music”.

Finally in the summer of 2012, after being introduced by Cathy Lemmon of Nashville’s ADN, Adrianna met with Stephen Wrench, President of Musik and Film. and he was blown away by Adrianna’s voice. Adrianna signed with Musik and Film Records and a global radio campaign was began by Musik Radio Promotions.

In Oct. 2012, Adrianna received accolades from Brian Clough, CMA International Broadcaster of the Year 2009, after receiving her DPK from Musik Radio Promotions. Clough wrote, “Sheer class… an eclectic mix of light and shade of mid tempo and gentle songs which shows off her vocal range and quality, sometimes smokey and gentle, but always meaningful and believable.” Clough’s glowing review of Freeman catapulted her debut album, Either You Do or You Don’t‘ ,to quickly gain traction in the BBC network.

Adrianna is now charting on too many charts to list, but is being played on 60,000+ stations all over the globe. Her “market” is the world. Because of the massive amount of airplay, Adrianna received due to the strategy of Musik Radio Promotions, Adrianna has now caught the attention of some of those in Nashville, and is now recording a new album.

Adrianna recently stated, “Stephen I just want to thank you and Rhonda-I have worked for 11 years, playing second fiddle to everyone else. Being looked over and passed over for other artists. It feels so good to be with people who believe in me and my music. For so long I felt like it was just me, my family, a notebook , and some songs. I have been promised so many things by so many people in the music industry that I thought I would never be able to trust anyone else in this business again. BUT- I trust you and Ms. Rhonda! I am so thankful that God lead my family to you, I really can’t thank you guys enough for helping to renew my faith in this business once again. With God’s help- I am starting to really believe that we can go all the way!!!!”

Adrianna Freeman is on her way!

Amy Gass is a serious artist, willing to work hard to make her dreams a reality. Says Amy, “Every moment, good or bad, is another opportunity to reach out and connect with the audience.

Amy has taken a step further to make her dreams a reality, signing with Musik Radio to promote her music in 60 countries to over 50,000 stations worldwide.

Her latest CD album shows off Amy’s talent as an exceptional singer and song writer. Eight out of the ten songs were co-written by Amy, and you will enjoy her style and sound in these heart felt songs. You can almost taste the intensity of “Never Knew”, and hear the determination of will in the song, “Strong”.

Manuel De Haro, producer and owner of Acceso Productions says, “I have to say Amy’s voice and talent is one of the most unique I have heard, and her passion and dedication for music are always inspiring. I am always blown away by her impressive voice”

A favorite on her my space page is the rockin’ “When Good Girls Love bad Boys”. Then the adolescent pureness of the song, “My Best Friend” takes you back to childhood and dreaming that anything is possible. The crown jewel of the album is the heart wrenching duet, “When We’re Cheating On Each Other”. It reminds one of George Jones and Tammy Wynette.

Amy remarks, “Thanks to Stephen and his whole team, I am now being played in the UK, USA, Netherlands and all over Europe. I really appreciate Musik and Film’s support of my music and very impressed by the results I am getting now. For any artist who has been struggling with a dream and would love to be heard among the many, this is the right home for you. Again, thank you Stephen and your whole gang, I look forward to the future and the success to come!

Amy is now being played on over 3000 stations including the BBC Network, Australia, NZ, and Japan and is listed on the Musik Radio Wall of Success.

Proclaimed as “the next Nickelback from Quebec” by ETalk Daily (CTV), power rock group, ONE, has teamed up with Musik Radio Promotions to gain international exposure.

After the success of their Sophomore release “Dirty Valentine”. The ONE boys felt incredibly inspired to begin working on a new album. Having spent the better part of the last 3 years touring, there was a lot of excitement about getting back into writing mode.

In the music business today, albums can sound generic and too polished. Something that ONE tries to avoid. “The bands and albums that inspire us to be musicians are the old school Led Zeppelin, Ramones and Motley Crue records. Nowadays everything is sampled and over compressed for radio, the soul of the songs at
times seems to be lacking,” says guitarist Staniforth who also co-produced the last album with guitarist, Jardine.

The new album “Worlds Collide” speaks of struggles and success stories of today’s reality. A groovy, rock your face off album that has a little something for everyone. “It even has a song that if you turned the heavy guitars back could be considered country,” says Rossi.

“With so much going on in the World, you can’t help but write about it. It is all about staying positive and staying the course,” adds Staniforth.

Signing a global radio promotions deal with Musik Radio Promotions, seemed to be the next logical step on the course to getting a positive message out to the world. With the first single promotion of, “Queen of Rock n’ Roll”, One, has begun to build a global fan base and are on the Musik Radio Wall of Success, having gotten airplay on over 1,000 stations worldwide.

With a new album comes a new chapter. A chapter that the band will write one show at a time.

Christian/Country recording artist Debbie Merkel first came to Musik and Film Records with release of “On Heaven’s Wings”, in 2012.

Debbie is now back with release of 2 singles on “How Do I Say Goodbye” released worldwide by Musik Radio Promotions.

Merkel says, “I write about things I know and experience… struggles, losing my mother, experiencing child abuse, and yet how God is at the root of it all and sustains us through all things.” A delicate and true vocal caresses the gentle melodies and spirit filled lyrics of each track. Messages of hope, triumph, and inspiration welcome the listener and encourage communion. “I write about things others can relate to but share it on a spiritual level,” offers Merkel of the message of her music.

A Halloween song composed at the tender age of 8 and performed by her entire class at school was Debbie’s first light of understanding that her voice was God’s gift to be shared. Influenced by Amy Grant and Bette Midler she designs her music with notable honesty and feminine luminosity. After 911 Debbie had the honor of joining local celebrity artists in a television performance to raise funds for the recovery efforts of the horrific tragedy. “The television performance was a song I wrote called, ‘Together’ which is on the album and is about feeling alone but when we come together and celebrate Gods love, we can accomplish anything.”

With faith in God and hopes of “accomplishing anything” Debbie Merkel’s music stands to deliver a beautiful ray of light into the radio airwaves and offer listeners around the Globe messages of love, hope and inspiration. That is certainly coming true with her latest release, as Debbie’s latest release is being played on hundreds of stations and charting around the globe.

Musik and Film is proud to represent Debbie as her label and look forward to many successful future releases.
