Artists looking for support in realizing their true potential are sure to find it with Chloe Freedman and Red Tape Management.

Chloe Freedman first entered the music industry to explore the world of public relations. But her experience soon led to the realization that she was much more drawn to music management.

Music Streaming Platform Tunedly Pushes the Envelope in the Industry With Its Contest to Reward Listeners

A musician’s success can vary, but many can truly say they made it when their tracks break into the charts or become popularized in pop culture. However, with the innovation of technology allowing more musicians to thrive independently, just about anyone can make a hit. Tunedly, a startup streaming service company provides listeners with the chance to scout for the next big artist, a bragging right that many can be proud of. However, they are taking their platform to the next level by rewarding them for their discoveries.

Chris Erhardt is one of the co-founders of Tunedly, who created the platform out of a passion for music. The startup was built around musicians and music managers who shared the same ideals to help the industry move forward. By removing barriers, they have provided aspiring artists with a platform that can allow them to unleash their gifts to listeners looking for a new sound or genre. 

Founded in 2017, Tunedly has maintained consistency in its mission to revolutionize the music industry. With over 6,500 songs available in its inventory, listeners can sign up to the Tunedly Music Discovery App and scout for songs that have the potential to become the next big hit. While most streaming platforms only provide royalties to their artists, Tunedly has taken a giant leap to get ahead of others. As a result, listeners have the chance to earn royalties, cash prizes, merchandise, and more on tracks that become hits.

“We are committed to giving back to people who enjoy music as much as we do,” said co-founder Chris Erhardt. “This has motivated us to keep building our not-so-regular music streaming platform.”

With their unique feature, Tunedly has been successful in pushing the music industry forward. However, the team decided to elevate the platform in September when it announced a giveaway of $500 to the first ten users on the app who can name a popular and well-known artist along with the artist’s song title. 

Similar to the popular singing competition Masked Singer, Tunedly removes every information from the songs to project an air of mystery around the artist, giving listeners the chance to enjoy their music purely by merit and prompting them to visit the website and app more frequently to take the music in. “We’re excited to champion this content as one of our numerous ways to make listeners happy,” shared Erhardt. “The app offers many other perks, such as becoming a hit music scout by signing up, discovering songs, and giving the songs upvotes if they think they will become hits. Each user gets one free upvote daily, and if their upvoted songs become a hit, they earn royalties, cash, or other forms of prizes.”

While Tunedly primarily shines the spotlight on independent artists, one-third of the inventory consists of established artists like Bruno Mars, Fall Out Boy, Kane Brown, and more. Users who can identify the songs from established writers can send their answers to Tunedly’s official Twitter account with the hashtag #tunedlywhosethesinger. Included in the tweet should be the artist’s name and song. The first ten users to give the correct submissions can win $500 in cash prizes.

Revolutionizing the music industry for over four years, Tunedly is slowly becoming a powerhouse by combining streaming with creation, publishing, and distribution. This unique feature plays a significant role in changing how independent artists approach music. Additionally, Tunedly has signed a partnership with Spirit Music Group, helping the platform grow and deliver valuable offerings to listeners and artists.

Rich Fayden and Thomas Barsoe Take Their Partnership to the Next Level to Transform OC Hit into a Major Independent Label

The music industry is one of the most difficult for anyone to break into. While talent is needed to get far, having connections or getting discovered plays a more prominent role in a successful career. Rich Fayden is an individual who has played a hand in the discovery of many artists in the past 18 years. He has recently taken his career one step further by joining fellow music industry titan Platinum Award-winning producer Thomas Barsoe’s company OC Hit as the studio’s new Senior A&R and Head of Radio Promotion.

Born in Brooklyn and raised in New York City, Fayden’s life was surrounded by music. For over 25 years, he has been instrumental in discovering some of today’s biggest names like Alessia Cara, Conan Gray, Halsey, and Shawn Mendes, to name a few. Fayden would scour the internet, going on platforms like SoundCloud, Vine, and YouTube to find these talents. His goal was always to send links to industry heads, trying to get the artists heard.

Thomas Barsoe, the other side of the coin, started his career as a performer. He discovered his passion for music at 13, picking up a guitar and letting a Beatles album take him further and further into a lifelong passion for the arts. Once he started recording, Barsoe would go on tours, making a name for himself and eventually go multi-platinum. In 2010, after going around performing, he moved to the OC, where he met with several singers and songwriters. Barsoe would often invite them to his home studio, where they spent hours working on original content. Eventually, he built a small business that turned into the powerhouse known today as OC Hit.

OC Hit was created in 2016 as a record label, music publishing, artist management, and recording studio that is dedicated to discovering and developing exceptionally talented young singers and songwriters. Rich Fayden saw what Barsoe was doing, having met him several times throughout their career. Eventually, the two started to take their acquaintance further, formulating a plan to build a professional partnership by blending OC Hit’s incredible artist roster and community with Fayden’s ear for hit songs and strong industry relationships. 

“Knowing Thomas for many years and seeing what an incredible atmosphere he creates for upcoming talent made it clear to me that we needed to come together after many years working apart,” Fayden said, “The passion Thomas brings to his students, artists, and songwriters is something every industry newcomer dreams of. OC Hit is a world-class studio, and now with this partnership, I expect to see artists coming out on their own and making a lot of noise within the ranks of the industry.”

Fayden would join the team, taking on the role of the studio’s Senior A&R and Head of Radio Promotion. Barsoe was excited to have him on board, knowing how influential Fayden would be in helping the next generation of artists thrive in the music industry. “Rich brings a very unique skill set to the table, and his vast experience in Radio Promotion presents our artist roster with unbelievable opportunities to take their music careers to a whole other level,” Barsoe said, “I truly believe Rich is the last piece of the puzzle we needed for OC Hit to be one of the most influential ‘major’ independent labels on the west coast.”Learn more about Rich Fayden and his new venture with OC Hit by visiting his official website.

MTV VMAs Returns to an In-Person Live Show to Commemorate the Network’s 40th Anniversary

Source: NME

The Brooklyn Barclays Center was brought to a standstill on Sunday, September 12, 2021, when foremost Music Television MTV opened its stages to celebrate the last year’s stand-out musical performances. The MTV Music Video Awards attracted several A-list celebrities from every facet of the American music industry. Rapper Doja Cat hosted the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, which was the first time the MTV Video Music Awards returned to the stage after a 2020 socially distanced virtual show. The show also marked the network’s 40th anniversary.

Before the award ceremony, much of the conversation was dominated by Justin Bieber, who led this year’s nomination with seven, followed by Megan Thee Stallion, who had six nominations. Billie Eilish, BTS, Drake, Doja Cat, Given, Lil Nas X, and Olivia Rodrigo, a first-time nominee, each had five nominations to their names.

The big winner of the night was rapper Lil Nas X, who went home with the most awards, including the coveted Video of the Year award as well as the awards for Best Direction and Best Visual Effect, all for his single “Montero (Call Me by Your Name).” The rapper dedicated his Video of the Year trophy to “the gay agenda.”

Justin Bieber took home the Artist of the Year awards and Best Pop for his song “Peaches,” featuring Daniel Caesar and Given. While a first-time nominee, Olivia Rodrigo won Best New Artist and Song of the Year for “Drivers License.”

The 2021 VMAs was a big night for Olivia Rodrigo, Justin Bieber and Lil Nas X because aside from the numerous award trophies they went home with, they also stole the show with thrilling performances. The night also saw stand-out performances from Alicia Keys, Camila Cabello, Chlöe, Ed Sheehan, Machine Gun Kelly, Olivia Rodrigo, Busta Rhymes, Shawn Mendes, Twenty One Pilots, among several others.

The night was the VMA debut for some stars, and they did so with brand-new songs. For instance, Chlöe (who you may know as half of the sister R&B duo Chlöe x Halle) performed her debut solo single “Have Mercy” onstage for the first time while Musgraves performed “Star-Crossed,” the title track off her recently released studio album.

Other veterans also graced the stage, including Brooklyn legend Busta Rhymes, who performed a medley of some of his biggest hits. At the same time, Alicia Keys honored the 20th anniversary of 9/11 by closing her performance with a piano version of “Empire State of Mind.”

Some other notable moments during the night included Olivia Rodrigo descending onstage from a cloud, Doja Cat dancing midair after being introduced by fellow gravity defier Simone Blues, and the Foo Fighters receiving the VMAs’ first-ever Global Icon Award.

The MTV Video Music Awards celebrating its 40th anniversary on the night continued to prove that the only thing better than an amazing music video is a blow-you-away live musical performance. Like it had done every year, the 2021 edition was not any different. The show opened with a surprise appearance from Pop Icon, Madonna who congratulated MTV on its 40th birthday before Justin Bieber and The Kid LAROI delivered a joint performance of “Stay” and “Ghost.”

Fast Fire Watch Co. Takes Fire Safety to a New Level as It Sweeps the Country with Its Unique Program

Fire outbreaks often occur without warning, and the first line of defense for buildings is its fire alarm system and sprinklers. However, a broken alarm can be a cause for concern, endangering the lives of everyone in the establishment. The Nation Fire Protection Association or NFPA requires the property to hire a certified watch guard, specially trained to prevent fires by checking for any fire hazard objects on the premises. Fire Watch Co. is a collective of fire service professionals dedicated to safety.

Fast Fire Watch Co. provides a plethora of services that can benefit people for the short and long term, whether they are planned or a precaution after an unexpected equipment failure.

“We offer long term and temporary fire watch guards to clients who are being threatened with shutdowns,” shared the man behind the company, Noah Navarro. “We care about your safety, and we’ll do whatever it takes to make sure that you have the fire watch security that you need at the best rates.”

The company’s services can be acquired for commercial space, special events, security for construction sites or dispensaries, or hot work. As regulations have evolved for the modern setting, Fast Fire Watch has adapted to the times, coming prepared with ready, thoroughly trained, and completely reliable guards stationed across the country. Additionally, the company takes pride in bringing safety and veteran officers at a cost-effective price, helping clients every step of the process to ensure they procure the fire watch protection they need.

Fast Fire Watch provides its services across the United States with teams stationed throughout the country with a preparedness to answer calls at a moment’s notice. Guards are always on standby, waiting for the call to action, arriving on the property fully equipped. Fast Fire Watch guards also keep a log and monitor the area per city and ordinance with training that has prepared them to identify hazards to work with the local 911 authorities.

“We care about your safety, and we’ll do whatever it takes to make sure that you have the fire watch security that you need at the best rates,” said Navarro. Additionally, the guards can be deployed either temporarily or for the long-term depending on the clients who are under threat of getting shut down. 

Established in 2018, the Fast Fire Watch Co. was founded by Noah Navarro with headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida. The company provides security and fire watch guards services that consist of professionals who have long retired but continue to strive for safety. Each member has spent an illustrious career helping others and, despite going past their prime, have carried on with their resolve to shut down any potential threats. While Fire Fast Watch primarily delves into fire safety, the collective also has a host of retired military personnel. Additionally, they provide security officers for events, construction sites, dispensaries, and hot work.

Despite being established three years ago, Fast Fire Watch has garnered a strong reputation in the United States for being the highest-rated fire watch and security guard service company.

Fitzgerald & Campbell APLC Cracks Down on the Rising Student Loan Debt, Guiding Americans Toward a Debt-Free Life

For most Americans, college is a ticket toward better opportunities, self-discovery, and lucrative job opportunities. The truth of the matter, however, is that most Americans are saddled with crippling student loans and no jobs. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, student loans in the United States have grown to approximately $1.76 trillion, and graduate students accrue roughly 50% of that amount.

This is a damning issue that has been going on for far too long. Fitzgerald & Campbell APLC, more famously known as the “debtor protectors,” is a law firm composed of seasoned debt attorneys who will stop at nothing to help Americans who have been buried under their debt no matter what it may be.

Co-founded by California Finance Attorney Greg Fitzgerald and Consumer Protection Lawyer William Campbell, the firm provides financial advice and legal services to its esteemed clients, especially on issues that involve loans and debts. The founding partners fully understand the grave situation that has been laid out for the future generation, so they have decided to dedicate their expertise toward purging the student loan menace in America.

According to Fitzgerald, the intent behind the establishment of the firm was primarily to help as many people as possible offset their student loans because he observed that the problem is not the unwillingness to pay back the debt, but instead the misleading and confusing information by the lender as part of their tactics to make the borrower accrue more interest.

Fitzgerald & Campbell APLC is fully committed to helping its clients navigate the world of debt and loans. Contrary to popular belief, the Statute of Limitations does apply to private student loans. Therefore, they must be paid back with interest; or else the borrower faces lawsuits, garnishment and levies. Consumers with overwhelming debt face the rest of their life with a debt hanging over their heads and, in most cases, destroying their credit score and denying them access to cheaper credit. All of which keeps them in poverty.

Fitzgerald & Campbell APLC provides a wide array of services to help its clients offset debt and live a debt-free life. These services may range from Student Loan Debt settlement, Payday/Cash Advance Debt, Medical Debt, Insurance Debt, Auto-Related Debt, and even Bankruptcy. According to co-founder and senior partner Greg Fitzgerald, anyone with a pre-existing debt profile looking to set up a repayment plan or looking to seek expert opinions on how to approach a debt situation is the firm’s target audience. And contrary to what lenders and their enablers say, every individual can resolve their debts for less than the full amount if they have the right plan.

The firm is fully committed to reducing the burden of student loans by setting a goal to erase at least half of all the student loan debt of its clients. The team over at Fitzgerald & Campbell APLC firmly believes that the increase in tertiary education costs is caused by the increase in student loans which have created a significant burden on the US economy.

Fitzgerald & Campbell APLC fights for their clients and fights for what they think is right for the US economy. The firm is making great strides toward its goals, and it won’t be slowing down any time soon. Success is just around the corner for Fitzgerald & Campbell APLC, and with it comes the greater good for all debtors in the United States.

BLAKELOGANX Makes Music Debut and Skyrockets into Early Success

After a recent entry into the music scene, the artist known as BLAKELOGANX is starting to prove that he belongs in the scene. With three big releases under his belt from this year alone, he’s rocking radio waves and making a scene in the local and even global music strata.

Hailing from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, all BLAKELOGANX wanted to be a musician and a respected artist from a young age. Today, he’s at the starting line of both paths, and he’s starting strong. Everything started as a hobby. Still, he would soon start getting offers and calls from radio hosts, record labels, engineers, and managers that pretty much spoke to him and declared that he deserved a spot in the music industry.

“Honestly, music is just a creative way to get all of your feelings out,” explains the songwriter and artist. “So as long as I think everything sounds good while I’m making it, I’m all in. There are definitely people that would have never found my music if I stayed in the same lane.”

The artist has had a knack for networking early on, opening up and getting connections that most people his age or even older wouldn’t have. That brought him an edge, which he capitalized from day one. After years of building a solid network, he has turned into a household name across the Florida Hip Hop scene, especially among Gen-Zers who make up most of his demographic. Although BLAKELOGANX is also the kind of artist that older generations can enjoy, his songs carry a timeless rap and R&B rhythm that could cater to people from other walks of life. 

The rapper, singer, and songwriter started by releasing his first single, “DOWN,” which he created alongside artist The LJ. Later, he would release two more tracks, “Time Will Tell,” and “Only Wanna F—.” He has created a strong start for himself and only promises to get better with time. What drives BLAKELOGANX is his love for bringing his fans happiness through his music. “I love when my fans message me; it makes my day,” adds the rapper. “The fact that my music can inspire people means the world to me and has always been a goal of mine.”

BLAKELOGANX remains hungry for more growth as a respected song artist. And given that he hasn’t even stepped into his twenties yet tells fans that he has more to offer in the coming days, including some new songs.

Little King Releases Its Seventh Album Titled Amuse De Q

Little King is celebrating its 25th year as a band with the release of its seventh album titled Amuse De Q, a collection of songs that highlight the lyrical talent of frontman Ryan Rosoff who presents a unique perspective of the world during the Quarantine (The “Q” in the title.) 

The recently released album mirrors Rosoff’s unique journey as a music artist throughout his career, from the time he was struggling with the release of his songs to the creation of the band that allowed him to work with some of the industry’s most talented instrumentalists. 

The album features seven powerful, adroit, and diverse songs: “Bombs Away,” “Keyboard Soldier,” “How Could You?” “Set It Down,” “Melpomene,” “Amuse De Q,” and “Omega Son.” Among all the albums he has produced, Rosoff offers that Amuse De Q is his favorite, as he dedicated so much of his energy and time to write the songs, record them, and mix and master them during the pandemic. After one listen, we agree: the album is Little King’s most accomplished and personal work yet.

Making the album possible at such a challenging time in history is, in itself, quite an accomplishment. More than being a showcase of exceptional musical talents, it is an album that tells a story of survival, persistence, and positivity despite the crisis that the whole world is currently facing. Choosing to stay productive in the past year helped Rosoff and his bandmates brave the pandemic, and Little King is not the same band it was a few years ago, as it celebrates every member’s musical maturity. 

Joining Rosoff Amuse De Q are Manny Tejeda on bass and back-up vocals, Eddy Garcia on drums, Jessica Flores on STUNNING lead vocals for “How Could You?” David Hamilton on cello, Christine Hernandez on violin, Asher Syrinx Rosoff on keyboards, Becca Gonzales on back-up vocals, and Bryan Bowles on hand drums. Overall, the album is an exciting mix of its members’ unique experiences during the quarantine season, most especially Rosoff’s personal realizations along the way. All the songs in the latest album were written by him. While some of his bandmates contributed their bass, drum, string, and vocal parts (Flores shines, in particular), the very essence of the tracks predominantly reflects his artistry. 

Among the tracks found in the album, Ryan Rosoff feels closest to “Bombs Away,” which gives a commentary on what it was like to be watching the news in March and April 2020, when the whole world started to see the damaging extent of COVID-19. He also finds “Keyboard Soldier” to be one of his favorites in the album as it highlights the negativity found in social media, the BLM movement, social injustice, and his personal insights on Donald Trump’s leadership. “How Could You?” is also something he is very proud of as he reveals the ordeal of some of his female friends who have been suffering in abusive domestic relationships that worsened during the quarantine period. To give this song more life, he chose to have Jessica Flores sing the lead. 

The release of Amuse De Q is just the beginning of more exciting possibilities in the future for Little King, which includes the release of several music videos. As this generation strives to completely overcome COVID-19, Ryan Rosoff is confident that his band will be instrumental in making people think through the messages within their records. He also envisions their music inspiring others to continue to create and do what they are most passionate about without compromising their health and safety.
