First Blog and New Website!
Hello!
Wow, where do I start? I've just made a brand new website, and for my first shot at making a website, I gotta say I'm chuffed! www.lindaharrisonmusic.com
Yesturday I had what ACM (the Academy of Contemporary Music) call an IPS day, which stands for Industry Performance Showcase. Basically you go in and there's a panel usually consisting of 3 people from within the music industry, and you play 2 tracks, and they tell you what they think. Yesturday there was Rich Holley (Peer Music), who I already know and is a fantastic guy that's been setting me up with co-writes, he was the man that helped Newton Faulkner get to where he is today. There was also Ellie Giles (Fiction records/Polydor), who was very helpful and gave me some advice. And last but most certainly not least Mike Walsh (XFM), who really gave me that bit of encouragement I was needing. Mike suggested I send a song of mine off to Pink or Avril Lavigne. Ellie told me to have a look at PJ Harvey and Patty Smith for insperation, if you haven't heard of them check them out. Their worry was that the industry might try and bland me down, like it has to so many artists.
I'm also planning on writing some rock tunes in the near future, so that'll be fun for me. Unfortunately I've been out of singing for about 3 weeks, so I haven't managed to do all the recording and performing I expected to do, but hopefully between exams and coursework I'll get some Youtube videos up - I'm loving the new Pussycat dolls song, so I think I might cover that.
What do you guys think of Pinks new album?
