Introducing an exclusive new platform designed to empower modern musicians and bands. Bringing together the renowned global realms of social media and music promotion, SongTakes allows independent artists and musicians to share their music, communicate with other industry pros and fans alike, and gain genuine, constructive feedback as they continue to build their career.

Creating lyric videos as one more piece of consumable content for your band can give any single the push it needs to crest a billboard chart. Cee-Lo Green’s F**k You was given the boost it needed by a (cheaply constructed) lyric video put together at the last second by a professional marketing team using a free editor.

Everyone thinks about how cool it would be to shoot their music video in their favorite bar or club, and 9 times out of 10, they’re right. The only issue, from a corporate & legal standpoint, is that releases are 100% required from you if you ever want a deep pocket to fund the release.

Stay busy, and always respond to your existing fans. Even if you’re not as good as you’d like to be – which we rarely are in the moment – document that process. Keep looking ahead. Get things done. Don’t be afraid of failure. You have to love all of this.
