Big shout out to Jill Scott. She is doing it bigger than ever. Do your thing Jill!

According to Apple, the Beatles’ digital sales reached 450,000 albums and 2 million songs worldwide in their first week on iTunes. Big ups to new music media.

Tiger Woods shot off a tweet this morning for the first time. I think this move will increase his popularity as a brand. After all, from a business standpoint most of his sponsors were running for cover. If he can regularly engage with his fanbase and remain consistent on the golf course; corporate sponors and endorsement deals will once again beat his door down.

Welcome Tiger!

Showtime with RFTW and BBD

I ran into a former label mate, Ronnie Devoe of New Edition/BBD at the fitness center yesterday.  Him and I live in neighboring cities in metro Atlanta. Our groups will sometimes get booked on the same shows so although I do see them from time to time, it’s always rush rush passing by backstage.

Him & I were able to have a short conversation about the state of the music industry and the paradigm shift that is taking place at the present. We both agree that the ways and means of distributing, marketing and promoting artist are changing & advancing into new forms. Adapting to those changes will be key in established group’s and artist’s longevity.
