♫ Major Label Producer/Artist Developer Seeks Signable Singer Songwriter! ♫

Please do not respond unless you read the following
Carefully and meet all of the criteria.
No out of town calls. This is for New York City.
No second party calls. Artists must call for themselves.

I am a major label producer, artist developer,
Manager, A&R consultant, private studio owner,
Virtuoso guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter.
I have over 30 years industry experience and am a former Columbia records artist.
I am looking for an artist good enough to spec who is up to major label industry standard.

To date I have reviewed and passed on the demos of over 3,000 artists.
No one seems to realize how high the industry standards are for a major label.

You must live, eat, breathe and shit music,
Sing, compose and practice hours and hours daily.
Do your work. Arrive early for all business appointments and recording sessions.
Return business calls promptly and on time.
Write current industry standard radio hit songs and be "ready to go" with all that entails.

I am not running a business so please do not call for rates.
I am not for hire, nor is my studio.
I will not work with any artist just because they pay.
True artists are "made out of the right stuff".
They have legs that will walk towards the future.

If you are talented enough, skilled enough,
Work hard enough, have major label skills and I like
You and what you do I will spec you.
If you do not know what "spec" means ask.
You can't apply for something if you don't know what it is.
Absolutely no rap! Absolutely no metal!

The Artists samples on my websites have scratch vocals and rough mixes.
Most of the songs have temporary drum tracks.
Final mixes, final vocals and live drums are done later
but only if a song is deemed worthy of shopping to a label.
This saves a lot of time and money!
I wrote or co-wrote all the songs produced and played
all the instruments except for songs that have live drums.
Please listen on good quality headphones or good quality speakers not earbuds!

Several of my current artists have major label interest or a deal pending.
Contact information is available by clicking on the picture of the earth
in the photos section. There is also a link to my full website by clicking
on the website link in the general information section.
Please speak clearly when leaving your message.
No cell calls if possible, most of the cell phone messages are unintelligible.
If you have a myspace page or a website leave the address.

It's o.k. to call if you want artist development/career counseling advice,
I am always glad to help out starting artists.
We all have to start somewhere.
