Italian band, Illacrimo, releases With Ones Own Eyes with Musik and Films Radio Promotions

June 9, 2016

Italian band, Illacrimo, releases “With Ones Own Eyes” with Musik and Films Radio Promotions.  The band has since  had 3 songs in the Euro Indie Music Chart between January and May 2016, one of these in the TOP 20.

” It’s been an honour of sitting on Musik and Film’s working group, a beautiful dream for a band like us. I have a lot of feelings in my heart at the moment…life is strange and beautiful at the same time, my father, Janos Acs, conducted Aretha Franklin at the Grammy 1998,and he was the Conductor of Luciano Pavarotti”, states  Davide-Kristof Acs from iLLacrimo.

Illacrimo reviews have been positive:

Larry Toering  of Ventsmagazine quotes “After a long way full of different experiences, two young brains meet again,in a moor between fog and melancholy near Milano. Davide-Kristof (son of Janos Acs, an important Conductor) and Federica Sara raise a project of European sounds, shuffle with the traditional Italian melody. “This is an outstanding work to their credit and only suffers from not enough songs amongst all there is to be said, besides the consensus being this is one killer band.

“A debut featured by charisma and personality”. Rock Hard

“A convincing debut that makes iLLacrimo a reality worth to be followed”.All Music Italia

“iLLacrimo display a drive being seen less and less amond unsigned and indie bands.This group is hungry”.Jammerzine

“This Ep changes the rules for female voiced gothic music”.  Rock Hard Italia

Canadian Lance King releases Driftin with Musik Radio Promotions

April 12, 2016

Canadian, Lance King, releases Driftin’ with Musik Radio Promotions following the successful release of Love You All the Way. Recorded at Omni Studios in Nashville, TN and produced by Stephen Wrench, Driftin’ is destined to become the next worldwide radio hit.

Driftin’ was written by Lance’s Father, Ed King. Ed continues to enjoy a long and productive career in the music industry being a member of the BCCMA (British Columbia Country Music Association) hall of fame and has won several awards as entertainer or male vocalist of the year in both “The Canadian Country Gospel Music Association” and the “The Country Music Association.” Lance respects the talent of his father saying, “I liked the song and wanted to honor my Father by recording a song that he has written.”

Lance grew up in a musical family, his maternal grandparents having played piano and fiddle at the local Saturday night dance hall, his fraternal grandmother sung and played guitar, and his father, Ed King, being a still musically active member of the BCCMA hall of fame. From an early age, Lance aspired to be a singer/songwriter and has written several songs including “Rockem’ Sockem’ Christmas” which was recorded by his father and released on a compilation disc in the fall of 1994. While receiving some airplay in Canada and the US, “Rockem’ Sockem’ Christmas” was well received in France and charted at #27 a few weeks before Christmas.

In 2012 Lance released his CD D.I.M.E.S. which is an acronym for Determination, Inspiration, Motivation, Education, and Solutions. Lance wrote most of the songs on D.I.M.E.S. including “Livin’ My Own Way” which became the theme song for Danny Halo’s successful quest to set a Guinness World Record for the longest journey on a motorized bicycle. Lance also wrote “You Can Make Difference If You Try” and co-wrote “Brand New Sunny Day” which were both featured in the Vancouver produced documentary “Try On A Disability”.

Inspired by his mentally challenged daughter, Lance formed “King’s Developmental Farm Association” which is a BC registered society aimed on improving life by providing educational and vocational opportunities for young adults living with a developmental disability. Lance’s approach to music and song writing is to send a positive message of triumph over adversity, remind the listener that high self-esteem is a birthright, and that to love, be loved and be accepted for who you are is really all that matters.

Lance has no intention of slowing down anytime soon.  He recorded 5 other songs while in Nashville and those will be released later this year.

Lance is appreciative of his success up to this point and responds,” I want to thank all the stations for playing my previous release “Love You All The Way” . It was a real thrill watching for and seeing my efforts on the charts”. “Love You All The Way” peaked @ #12 on the Euro Indie Music Chart and #23 on the Digital Radio Tracker National (USA) Top 50 ‪#‎Country‬ chart and is still on the charts recieving thousands of plays each week.

There will be much more coming of which to be thankful!

Musik and Film World Touring Updates!

November 4, 2015
Post Image
Musik and Film has heard artists commenting for years now “We cant make any money playing in the US!”
We heard you indie artists, and we’ve responded. Musik and Film has been networking hard to provide artists with the ability to tour the world. We have been crafting touring packages specific to certain countries and regions of the world, one at a time to help the artist focus their efforts on building their brand outside of their local regions. Our first packages was for the country of India. Which has 4 times the population of the US and we call “The Sleeping Giant”. We quickly followed up with the China / Asia touring package. We are very pleased to  bring you our New Zealand Touring Package! Now you can build your fanbase in the Oceania region of the world with some of our fellow music lovers from down under. The package system essentially works like this: Musik and Film charges a service fee to set up your tour in the desired country. We can provide radio support for your tour. Then we partner with sponsors to try to get as much of the cost of logistics and travel absorbed as we can to maximize your potential gain. We then strategize the best means of creating and transporting merchandising options, and solidify custom dates for your tour, between festivals and venues in the target region. Then YOU travel to the country, blow their minds with your amazing music and performance skills, and sell out all of your merchandise and rush home to tell everyone about how amazing your trip was! Neil Young was recently heard saying that the only money left for the indie artists these days is found in touring the world and performing live. So extend your fanbase, play your hearts out, and tour the world. Don’t worry Musik and Film is here to help! Contact the Touring Promotions Team at Musik and Film today to start setting up your tours!!!
