Hello,
Welcome to the first Columbia A&R blog. This is the central point of our A&R community where both our staff from the label and unsigned acts are connected. Have a look at our neighbourhood to see what the new bands are doing, and visit the blogs from within the label.
If you want to see what we're about and who we are, have a look at our blogs. Over time I'm sure you'll find ground breaking insight into the music business and artists, you'll probably also find a load of random blogs on just about anything.
You're likely to find blurry gig pics and mobile phone videos. Who knows though, you may find that the better connected within the labels publish a few little gems of content that you'll want to get your hands on.
We don't want demo CD's anymore, that's what part of this is about. It takes ages for you to do, they get lost and it's a waste of plastic. Register your blog and be part of our on-line community. You will be directly connected to us and everyone else who's in the community. That's the other reason for this, the artist community being closer to the labels they want to be involved with.
So who am I talking about when we say we (at the label)? Well, you already know me and if you don't read my personal blog to find out who I am. It's a literary roller coaster of stuff, insightful comment and links to videos/music that entertains me. We also have:
Mike - Head of Columbia Records
Ollie - A&R
Marc - A&R
Steve - A&R
Mike P - A&R
I will be circling our community listening out for your offerings .Then I can pluck out the best with the hopes of presenting you to our A&R chaps and maybe work with you further to do something with you music.
So it's all about your blogs, what's going to be happening here? I will do whatever features I can think of and put my Columbia preferences on here to see what you're thoughts are.
So, start leaving comments and get talking to each other and the label.
