new article: DIY MUSIC LICENSING

Artists

I’ve written a new article which I’m very proud of called DIY MUSIC LICENSING

It’s all my tips and tools on how to get your songs into Film and TV.

I’ve spent a long time writing it, and it really is a comprehensive stepping stone that answers the questions I get about this whole arena of music licensing

To read it, I’ve made it an exclusive article through Songsalive!, because I volunteer for the organization (as I also am president of it) and felt that my time and sweat was deserving of the members who feed its community.

To read the Article go to www.songsalive.org/articles

There are also fabulous new links from the article to Contacts on getting songs placed, including our own Songsalive! Songshop program, and our Discount Partners.

Thanks and have a GREAT day, and read!

Art Of Men Cd artist James Keen and Magazine Gap retun to L.A: Tuesday March 30, 2010. A must see!

MAGAZINE GAP RETURNS FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY!    

LOS ANGELES, CA:  Magazine Gap returns to Los Angeles, performing on the same stage of their extremely well received US performance last summer.  Since forming in 2009, this rich sounding 

band from London, UK have performed and recorded new songs in London, New York, Houston, New Orleans, Chicago and Los Angeles (including at Capitol Studios in Hollywood).  The band takes their audience on a musical journey, assisted by being made-up of 5 different musicians with differing backgrounds – with acclaimed singer/songwriter James Keen on lead vocals whose voice is 

frequently compared to Tracy Chapman.  MG's music is perhaps best described as “eclectic pop/rock”, but combines many popular genres including: blues, jazz, country, folk, R&B, funk, soul, with occasional Latin and African rhythms.

As Gilli Moon, Producer of the Art Of Men Cd (Warrior Girl Music) which the band is featured on, wrote last August of their Art Of Men launch performance: “Finally, the last act of the night was Magazine Gap. Wow. What a voice. What a groove. What songs. James Keen is the next artist to watch. People were coming up to me and saying, literally, “I feel like I’ve just seen the next Sting”. Another person said to me “I feel like I’m witnessing the launch of the Beatles”. Another said to me “I feel so privileged to be seeing the rise of a new Dave Matthews Band”. I mean, these guys are going to be big. People who were tired and were going to leave after the first song, sat with their jaws dropped until James’ very last song and note”

Come see why the band are making waves on both sides of the Atlantic...

monthly in your inbox 

G'day peaceful warriors...

Do you feel like you're on a freeway going a hundred miles an hour, heading towards the sunrise? That's how I feel. I've been working so hard on my new album, writing my second book, and figuring out the next phase in my artistic life,.... that I'm jettisoning onto the freeway, ready to ignite with music and writing launches. I feel so inspired, and soon, so excited to reveal to you my recent work, that I've kept close to my heart in the making of.

This year has been so - full on- already. Below you can read a little about what has transpired, which included filming for 60 Minutes Australia. So, many of you have been biting at the bit for my album release of The Stillness, my new 6th album. I can tell you that JUNE is the month. It will be dropping, with the official release party on Tuesday June 29th at THE MINT in Los Angeles. Ticket info and details below. I highly recommend booking early on this one.

You can get a sneak preview of the album now! Announcing the first download available from The Stillness, exclusively available on Reverbnation. Available as an mp3 download or ringtone. Get it now: the song - Cos I Love You So
gilli moon, featuring J.Walker, and written by gilli moon, Claude Aliotti and J.Walker

Three shows coming up in the next month: Saturday March 20, J.Walker and I are doing our youth show Skillz for Life at the Rio Hondo College, Whittier, CA. Saturday March 27, my band and I will be at the Sam Ash Music Store in Westminster, CA (for an afternoon show), and on Sunday April 11, my first ever show at the Viper Room on the Sunset Strip, Hollywood, CA, and I'll also be celebrating my birthday. So come on down for a drink. All details below.

Also, as I have many fans that are artists also, part of my mojo is that whatever I do, or discover, I want to offer cool things for artists along the way too. So be sure to check the "Warrior 2 U" section below.

Take the ride and read on.... www.gillimoon.com/warriorgirlmusicenews

The last 48 hours from our living room to yours - getting filmed by 60 Minutes, Australia

J.Walker and I have just spent the last 48 hours in an amazing whirlwind. We travelled to Seattle to be filmed by 60 Minutes Australia on a really cool story that involves our relationship, relationships in general, and our creative, music lives.  What a unique opportunity. The cool part was having the crew in our living room at home in Los Angeles, and then them filming our show at Kulaks in North Hollywood on Saturday night. So, sometime in April we will go from our living room to yours! We’ll keep our Aussie friends posted of the air date, and for those in the rest of the world, hopefully it will be archived on their website online. We will remember this experience for the rest of our lives. Andy Warhol once said “you only get 15 minutes of fame in your life time”. Maybe this 15 min 60 Minute segment is it. Ha ha. What fun!

Photo is with Tara Brown, reporter, Stephen Taylor, producer, J.Walker, gilli moon, Daniel from Seattle, and Tangles on sound, Paul on camera.

An Artist Empowering Tele-Workshop with gilli moon in March

Participate in a 4 week, weekly Tele-Workshop on Artist Image and Mindset. Following the success of our November series, we will conduct this workshop again for 4 Tuesdays in March.

BUILD YOUR GOALS FOR 2010, in an intimate circle of artists

DEFINING THE ARTIST WITHIN WORKSHOP

Whether you want to be a rock star, or a consummate artist, or both, you need to be clear and focused with what path you take and how you are going to promote yourself. But it all begins with who you are. This workshop helps artists become clear with their innate qualities, and how best to go about promoting that and capitalizing on that to create a successful career in the arts.

Now's the time to start thinking about next year's plans: as an artist, you have the opportunity to reinvent yourself in every way - the way you are, through your persona, performances, promotion, online, marketing... everything you do and breathe.

For all artists, whether musicians, singers, painters, actors or those wanting to define one's path and find clarity in how to present oneself to the world ... this workshop is for YOU.

HOW TO BECOME AN ARTIST ENTREPRENEUR WORKSHOP at the Durango Expo
– the ins and outs of getting out there as an artist in the business of music.

The KEY TO SURVIVAL AND SUCCESS in the music business of TODAY is to be a unique artist, in charge of your own destiny. It means you need to be an artist entrepreneur. In order to be powerful as an artist, you have to be very business artist. You need to be very self driven and business savvy. You don’t need to know everything about the business (you can go to experts for advice) but you are in control. If you want it to be life long, you have to be a visionary. You have to be able to think outside the box and “feel” it inside. A lot of inner work is required. So while you are working on your craft and techniques on the outside, you have to work on your mindset on the inside.

Stay tuned for gilli moon's new album, The Stillness. Released in the Spring

Just out of the studio with her brand new (6th) album, "The Stillness", (official release expected in the Spring of 2010), Australian Hollywood based singer-songwriter, gilli moon, plans to focus on performing, touring and marketing her new record, which truly and  richly captures her essence, her passions, her lifelong yearning and mountain climbing (metaphorically speaking) and arriving, finally, at a place of serenity.


This album shows the strength of her songwriting, her dynamic vocal range, and her joy for the piano. Lyrically the songs speak of arriving at a place of inner-ease and personal strength, of self-knowing and understanding. It talks of harmony, and peace (personal and world), of passion and prophesies, of harmony and conflict, of assurance and doubt, of love and loss... (the dual meanings of life and existence in this world that we all can't deny.) Ultimately, the new album takes the listener on a journey through gilli's love stories, life lessons and observations of the world.


gilli moon is a  unique, evocative and energetic artist and has a perpetual fire in her belly to purge her life stories and quest for truth through her music and art. Where 2010 takes her, can only be exciting and delicious, as she embarks in the marketing of her new album, The Stillness. gilli leaps empty handed into the void and enjoys the journey along the way. Come take the ride with gilli moon. Read more about gilli moon at www.gillimoon.com click on BIO.


and stay tuned for the Spring release in the U.S of THE STILLNESS.

Quote (lyric) of the month:
I had a revelation, as I fell asleep last night
A true illumination, that put a spotlight on my life
And here I've been yearning, burning dreaming all this time
And I suddenly realised it's all in my mind..
