Tip of the week - Getting Your Music Career to the Next Level
 Music Xray is focussed on two things.
1. Getting you and/or your songs signed.
2. Getting you the coaching / advice and feedback you can use to get to the next level.
If the first point isn't happening for you, concentrate on the second point to learn why and then go back to trying to place your songs and get yourself signed to revenue generating deals. It's that straight forward. There are no hidden secrets.
Don't forget to join our LinkedIn group for a more business focused angle on all things music.

Some of the Opportunities Added In the Past 7 Days
Music for advertising / commercials
 We're currently working on a collection of Mixtapes to promote for placements in high-end TV advertising, commercials and branding projects. In particular we're looking for songs that are fun, uplifting, quirky, and have a 'feel good' factor for the summer. We'll also consider ambient tracks with sound design that ooze power, speed or authority. Think of major car adverts, lifestyle, fashion, 'girl about town' type commercials. All tracks must be of the highest quality.

Constructive Criticism by Skin & Barrel Music
 If you have a track that you know could be helped by an objective opinion, this is the interaction for that. unfinished, unmixed, recorded badly etc..bring em on. Constructive critisism is the only kind we do.
Skin & Barrel Music is a decidedly new-school publishing entity. Our prime directive is 'First Do No Harm'. That means that our focus is on creating income for original works that do not encroach on other potential income for the artist (physical sales, digital distribution etc..) We don't think we deserve a part of any dollar we didn't earn for you. We are not trying to create a giant clearing house type catalog. When we do add a work to our catalog it's because we think we can find a place for it. We do not sign artists to exclusive first right of refusal contracts. We evaluate each piece of music on it's own merits. When we hear someone say "radio-friendly" or "commercially viable" we don't know what they're talking about and in general wish they would just zip it.
Music Submission to Island Records
 2009 was the 50th anniversary of the founding of Island Records, arguably the most prestigious record label in the history of British music. Music Submission to Island Records - Chris Blackwell founded the Island label in Kingston, Jamaica in 1959 with capital of just £1000. Relocating to London in the early 60s Blackwell built the most diverse and enviable back catalogue of any independent record label in history. From Island's early Jamaican roots in ska and rock-steady, through the label's expansion to become the cutting edge of progressive rock in the late 60s, and then on to the signing of such international superstars as Bob Marley and U2, Blackwell brought to Island a unique vision and passion which still informs the label's approach to this day.
