Welcome to MFC! And yes, you've been duly warned; be nice to Luke, he's mad talented and much loved.

 

I like your flavour of music - Walk With Me has a certain je ne sias quoi that I'm quite enjoying. Do you write music as well as perform it? Also pretty cool that you've got a few of the tracks available for download.

 

I'm intrigued by sellaband.com - I'd never heard of it before. One can argue that MySpace revolutionized the way music is shared with fans, but this is on a whole new level. It's brilliant really - and very carefully crafted, by the looks of things, on both the part of the artists and the believers. I wonder how Big Music Labels feel about the sort of change that's happening in terms of how the Internet is shaping the music industry.

 

 

Big labels are either dead or dying. Seriously folk, the music industry is changing. It'a all about 2 things: the artist, and the music lover. We can "work" with our fans directly now, we're in business together. That's exactly what I did with Sellaband. My fans financed my album, and they will share in the profits. That way,everyone is responsible for marketing and promotion, and it's great because I get to have a "real" friendship with my fans and there is not middleman filtering it out.

 

 

Sooo, what happens if an artist is on sellaband and Big Muisc comes a knockin' with big plans and big dollar signs? I wonder if that sort of thing happens with any frequency...?

 

That's the idea entirely. Sellaband is not a traditional label.It's in their interest that an artists gets picked up moves on to a major label. They own a % of publishing rights on the songs, so they stand to gain if and artist/song is successful.

 

Ooh, I'm impressed; that's a brilliant display of targeting one's message to his particular audience. What a perfect thing to say to a captive audience full of music lovers. Kudos! :thumb_yello:

 

 

thank you lollipop! well, this is just me being me. I'm very active with my music community, and my fans (many of which are also my friends) are an integral part of how I make music. This is my way. And I'm glad you appreciate it! Gradually I'm going to be releasing lots of content exclusively to e-team members of my website(http://www.francisrodino.com) so stay tuned for more stories and adventures of Me, Luke and the rest of the band..

Actually, your voice and style remind me a bit of 2 artists:

 

-A Spanish guy called Sergio Dalma, who I would not expect you to know:naughty:.

 

-The Italian singer Zuchero.

 

For me it has a touch of 'Sister Hazel' (not expecting anyone to know them as well, but you should :thumb_yello:)
