“THE SAME OLD IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

MUSIC IS EVERYWHERE AND SO ARE THE REVENUE STREAMS!”

NINA K. EASTON, CO-FOUNDER OF ICHIBAN RECORDS HOSTS THE 2009 ATLANTA MUSIC CONVENTION AT THE GEORGIA WORLD CONGRESS CENTER AUG 29TH & 30TH

Come join over 2000 industry professionals including Music Executives, Artists, Radio Personalities, Producers, A&R Representatives, Video Producers, Booking Agents and many more.

ATLANTA –On August 29th & 30th 2009, Nina K. Easton, President/CEO of many entertainment companies and Co-Founder of the hit machine Ichiban Records will host the Atlanta Music Convention (www.atlantamusicconvention.com) at the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta.

“The goal of this convention is to finally have a forum where Industry Specialists and Innovators give real information, contacts, explanations and ideas in 7 different Seminars done by experts in their specialty; something you can actually use”, says Easton. “Having an opportunity to network and being able to get ‘One on One’ time to show your talent in front of decision makers’ be it movie supervisors, label representatives, gaming and publishers is priceless!”

Unlike most conventions that have many panels, this convention will have seminars covering topics of Digital and Physical Distribution, Publishing, A&R, Songwriting, Management, Marketing & Sales, Gaming and Licensing. She adds, “The goal of these seminars is to take a new look at the views and opportunities in today’s music industry and identify all the different options available, instead of using the traditional process, like selling a CD or sell a track on Itunes.  We feel that it will be some time before physical sales are totally gone but there are more alternatives than ever!”

Nina continues, “Gaming is one of the fastest growing forms of entertainment and it has created many successful records by unknown artists. This is why we are bringing a gaming/ media room to this year’s convention, allowing an interactive experience of trying different games and consoles as well as having a representative explain the process of music placement in video games.”

Sponsors for this year’s convention include T-Mobile, Monster Energy Drink, ITunes, IMG International INC., Jive Records, MDI Distribution, INC., So-So Def Records,  404 Music, Computer Arena, Kivi Marketing, 822 Artist Management, Soundcheck INC. and many more!

More than ever before music is wrapped around everything. Someone makes that music.  The Atlanta Music Convention is the best way for all aspiring participants to improve their careers, regardless of Genres. Independents are in a very good position to go forward in this ever changing world.

Sound Exchange Royalties-Still Seeking Artists

May 20th, 2009 / Filed Under: Music Business News / No Comments / Tags: , , , , , ,

Bob Davis Appears courtesy of Soul-Patrol.net

This email was forwarded from our friend Todd Baptista, via our friend Clyde Frazier. Please read it and pass this blog link and information along.

1. Obviously it is very important for OUR artists to be compensated for their work and as you read thru the website list you will see the names of some of your favorite artists who have money waiting for them, all they need do is collect it. This money represents PERFORMANCE ROYALTIES that they are due as a result of Internet Radio airplay.

Please forward this blog address to as many people as possible and if you know any artist (not just the ones listed on the website), please encourage them to go to the SoundExchange website (http://www.soundexchange.com) to check and see if they are entititled to collect any past due airplay royalties.

2. It is these very same PERFORMANCE ROYALTIES that the US Congress via HR Bill 848, wants to insure are paid by terrestrial radio broadcasters like Cathy Hughes.

CATHY HUGHES WANTS YOU TO LOBBY YOUR CONGRESSPERSON TO OPPOSE THIS PROPOSED LAW. SHE DOESN’T THINK THAT ARTISTS DESERVE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR WORK AS A RESULT OF HER PLAYING THEIR MUSIC AND MAKING MONEY FROM IT.

Soul-Patrol feels that Cathy Hughes in taking this position is helping to enable CULTURE BANDITRY. Why shouldn’t she pay for using the artist content? How would she feel if someone used her work to get rich, and then got on the public airways and told the general public that it was a good thing?

(and this is one of the things that I recently discussed on www.AirAmerica.com w/Chuck D on his show “On The Real”)

Here’s the Email that I received:

Friends-

It’s about time for next round of Sound Exchange royalty statements to be sent out and while browsing at their site today, I am amazed at the number of artists who are not collecting their royalties.

Remember- any unclaimed royalties revert back to the U. S. Government at the end of each calendar year.

I am not sure when the following list was most recently updated as several of the artists we recently signed up (including the Solitaires and Tune Weavers, for example) are listed as unclaimed. However, the following artists are still not collecting royalties. If you are on this list or know someone on this list or a family member or estate, please contact Sound Exchange or visit them online at http://www.soundexchange.com.

As always, I am willing to volunteer my services to assist in getting the paperwork done for original artists or their families (trbent[at]charter.net). Currently, we
have assisted over 60 performing artists to collect these royalties.

Thanks,

Todd Baptista

For the updated list, and more info about Sound Exchange, read on:

Artists not collecting royalties are listed on 84 pages at their website.

In summary, SoundExchange handles the following:

. collects performance royalties from the statutory licensees;
. collects performance royalties from reciprocal agreements with foreign collecting societies for featured artists and labels;
. collects and processes all data associated with the performance of the sound recordings;
. allocates royalties for the performance of the sound recording based on all of the data collected and processed;
. makes distribution of the featured artist’s share directly to the artist;
. makes distribution of the SRCO’s share directly to the copyright owner;
. makes distribution of the non-featured artist’s share to AFTRA and AFM’s Intellectual Property Rights Distribution Fund; and
. provides detailed reports summarizing the titles, featured artists and royalty amounts for each of the sound recordings performed by the statutory licensees.
