Shameless promotion for my daughter

OK those that have been around this place a while will know (be bored with) the development of my daughters musical career.
For those that have not , It started around 5 years ago when she was 17. Since then many discussions /lawyers , etc have gone on. 4 contracts signed and agreed. From which we are now at the stage that the Album has been financed produced and now delivered in the US , by an Amercian company.

She writes all the songs , and we now have a Co publishing agreement and her songs are now protected under copywrite and registered with a PRO.

The final stage , is we are in discussion with 3 major labels and one Indy for the distribution and promotion in the US.

On all the songs there are only two people. Her and her producer . She does all the vocals and some guitar /Keys. The rest is her producer. There are no session people.

She has already had a nice advance , and now they asked her to post some clips on soundcloud. So I guess it is now OK to share them. I assume the more hits they get the better. So hit away guys !!!

Fair play to her first of all, giving it a listen now.....

Lovely voice, nice tunes. Not my kind of music if I'm honest, but I can see that it's very good. I hope she goes on to conquer the world. You must be very proud. You should be.

TBH I had assumed it would be yer young person's hippety boppity music and not paid that much attention. But this is great! :-O I mean properly great. I suspect if I like it that's the kiss of death to her selling anything :o3 ...but it's still great.

Wow.. I wasn't expecting that! She really is a great singer and songwriter. World class stuff.

Thanks Guys. Her Hero's are Led Zep ., Jimi ., Dave Grohl , etc etc. Don't know who influenced her :-)

These tracks are not the best ones in my opinion. Though I love the Lyrics to Missing Pieces.

Keep hitting it so she gets her count up , this will help her career ...

Bloody hell I like that!

My first thought was - it's like if Izzy Hale actually had good songs.

I'll be buying that.

Hopefully now she can afford some jeans without holes in them.

That's proper grown up music.

Sounds great buddy. Great tunes

stickyfiddle

That's really properly good. Well done!!

Congrats Ray - great to see it (finally) all coming together!

Great voice.She's very talented.

McToot

Superb.  Truly. 

@musicegbdf Are there any other things that one can do to build profile? Facebook, etc?

musicegbdf

It is all part of a process I guess. They are putting a band together to back her. She is rehearsing with them today to make sure she is happy with them.
She is booked to make a video next month. I think they will put up official facebook and twitter at some point. I bought the domain names 5 years ago...
TBH , much goes on the US that we don't see.
I have learnt a great deal about the business side of music over the last few years.
Glad you guys like her voice. Even at 17 she made it clear she wanted it to be real music and not prepared to be a pop princess..

Nicely done and this is good stuff - congratulations Bea and well done dad/the family for looking out for her and being totally supportive.

If she's getting airplay or it's imminent, make sure she's signed up to a royalty collecting society like PRS, or she may already be with BMI or ASCAP if it's US-funded

The best of luck to her.

musicegbdf

Yes , she is signed with Bmg and Bmi is her PRS . She is to launched in the US first , though she wants to be here as well, so that is in the contracts ...

Missing pieces is a great track ... nice voice.

Sambostar

Very good and all.  But you named your daughter Bea?  Seriously?  Bea?

So can you sing well as well then?

musicegbdf

Short for Beatrice. Nah, when I was in a band the other guys took my mike and put it on Tha bass drum. I took the hint :-)

bingefeller
