2013. What a Year so Far

2013.  What a year so far.

Music Blogs

Rock 'N' Roll in my Soul Music Blog

I considered 2012, and all the things that had happened musically.  I was delighted and content knowing I had achieved and made so many new musical steps, particularly in the right direction.  Towards the end of 2012 I had spoken to Rudeina from Rock 'N' Roll in my Soul Music Blog and she had politely agreed to review some of my music on the Blog.  I was absolutely delighted by this.  I knew that this would happen at some point, but didn't think it would be up before the year was out.  To my surprise and great delight, Rudeina had not only finished the review but posted it on the very last day of the year.  I read the review and am still in awe of the compliments and comparisons made; described as "...a songwriter with a passion for words and a musician with a passion for melody".  Amazingly written piece, and an amazing way to end 2012.  The review gave me a big confidence boost moving into 2013.

Ralph's Life Music Blog

Literally days into the new year, I was told by Ralph - the lovely dog that he is, and Mike that they would be reviewing some of my music in Ralph's Blog soon.  I was excited to see the review.  I had spoken to Mike and Ralph before the new year and was aware something may be written.  When the review was published I was very appreciative of the compliments and comparisons made to my music.  I tried to get as many people to read both Rudeina's and Ralph's reviews via Twitter, to give people an idea of what my music is like voiced by music bloggers.  I have been delighted to be 1st in Ralph's 'Top Ten Blogged Band Chart' for three consecutive weeks - being 2nd the two weeks previous to these.  The review has been fantastic in helping get attention.

Les Addiction D'Emilie Music Blog

With the music blogs who had already written about my music, I was very content and happy.  I was then also told in January of this year that Emily Desmedt AKA EmilyfromFrance was also doing a review of my music for her wonderful music blog.  I was so excited to have another review and by such a brilliant reviewer. Emily wrote a wonderful piece, very vivid and colourful.  She was very kind in her compliments and I was extremely happy to share this review with as many people as I could.

Radio

2012 saw my music played on numerous radio stations which I was very happy about.  This was something I had sought after.  A bit more publicity, a few more people hearing my music.  I was very happy with the exposure it was getting, and was very happy to find my track 'UFO' being played on Indie Minded Radio on New Year's Eve 2012.  This also just gave me that confidence boost I needed to know I was doing things right with my music.  So, when 2013 hit, I carried on the way I had ended the previous year.  I contacted radio stations asking for some air time.  I have been played on:

I have had to make a short radio-edit version of 'UFO' for some radio stations, which has been pretty cool and interesting to try and edit.  I am constantly chatting to other radio stations about further air play of my music.

Compilation Albums

I have had some success getting featured on compilation albums this year, which was one of my main aims.  I love the idea of being on an album full of other musicians, with all the different sounds and talented people.  I have been lucky enough to be featured on Red Dragon Records compilation album and Hourglass Recordings.

Compilations

1st Renaissance - Red Dragon Records - UFO (7/1/13)
Indievidual Volume Two - Hourglass Recordings (18/2/13)

Revolution - Brit Rock Army - UFO (TBC 2013)

Other features, etc

I have been in different charts this year including Ralph's Life Top Ten Blogged Band Chart where I have been No.1 three times in a row, and No.2 4 times.  I have had my song 'Roadtrippin'' hit number 20 in John's Rock Show Rock Chart.  I have had my song UFO featured on Straight to your Head Podcast on iTunes.

I have also featured on my friend and musician Stuart Carroll's new song 'Discard', which was absolutely amazing to feature on.  I have also had my song 'A Story of a Wall' from my new album 'The Orange Line' remixed by Carmine entitled 'The Sky Above & The Earth Below'.  It is an epic remix and I am delighted with the result.

There is a lot more coming in the next few months, and I would like to thank everyone who has helped promote my music, helped review it, and just generally has listened to it and likes it.  That is what it is all about.
