So, here is my second release.

Even if you don’t realize it, you’ve heard most of these already.
If you watch , “So You Think You Can Dance”, “Dancing With The Stars”, “Very Cavallari”, “Total Bellas”, “Selling Sunset” etc etc etc…..You’ve heard these tracks in the background 🙂

Instagram Live Stream with Jason Grishkoff – Founder of Submithub.com

Following the review I made about Submithub.com, Jason (the owner of Submithub) and I sat down on a nice Saturday morning (well, evening for him in South Africa) and recorded this fun and informative Live Instagram Stream Q&A Special with a few hundred viewers and artists.

There were a lot of questions and a lot of answers.
We discussed Submithub’s standards for curators, Spotify’s payment structure and much much MUCH more 🙂

I hope you enjoy the video.

Submithub.com YouTube Review

Let me be clear, I am NOT sponsored in ANY way by Submithub.com.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, what you’ll see in this video is my honest review of a product I sincerely think to be a HUGE asset
to artists world wide.

Submithub is a service through which you can submit your music to all these different curators around the world and the internet.
* Think Spotify Playlists with hundreds of thousands of listeners.
* Think YouTube channels with 28 million subscribers.
* Even music bloggers, radio stations (probably indie) and even labels!
But, it is so much more than just that.

I take you through my whole process of submitting, getting denied (with feedback) , getting approved and everything that goes with it!

I will be having a Live Instagram Stream with Jason Grishkoff (Founder of Submithub.com) for all your Q&A needs on 4.18.20 on my Instagram.
Those attending will get a passcode for FREE credits!!!

So, please enjoy the vid.

Stay safe and healthy 🙂

Fan Q&A Instagram Live April 5th, 2020

On April 5th 2020 at 1:30am in Los Angeles, I got on a Live Instagram Stream with amazing fusion guitarist Daniel Weiss and a bunch of awesome fans who had a lot of questions for us 🙂

It was a LOT of fun 🙂
SO much fun that we’re doing (or did) a follow up Q&A with us both on Friday, April 10th, 2020.

So, if you ever wanted to know more about the life of guitarists/musicians on the road and in the studio, this is a sneak peak into that 🙂

Hope you enjoy!
Stay safe and healthy.

Single review on TheWordIsBond.com

Listen, I was just as surprised as you to hear that my album “Ambient Dreams” is ACTUALLY classified as “Instrumental Hip Hop” genre. Crazy right?
But, hey…call it what you want. As long as you’re enjoying it…that’s why I put it out there 😀

So I was on Submithub.com, submitting my single “Floating On Air” to a few curators and outlets.
One of the outlets that approved my submission was the blog TheWordIsBond!

I hope you enjoy the review and the song (and the album) 😉
Here are the links to:

• Spotify
• Apple Music
• YouTube

It’s also on Instagram, Facebook, Deezer & TIKTOK!!!!
So feel free to share it on your vids 🙂

Thanks for caring, thanks for sharing.
See you on the road again soon 🙂

How To Get Endorsements!

What’s up my locked in friends? 🙂
I hope you’re all healthy and using this time to catch up on the important things, like Tiger King 😛

So, in this video, I give you a quick and useful breakdown on how to get endorsements.
Everything you need to know about who to ask for them, what they might want in return and how much gear to ask for.

Let me just give a quick shoutout to Randy Fuchs from Artist Relations.
He got me my first official endorsement with Digitech since I was using their Whammy IV at the time!

I recently worked with Randy again on connecting me with OWC & IK Multimedia to beef up my computers in the studio and on the road 🙂

Anyway, enjoy the video, stay home, stay safe.
