Please Vote for My Music to be Featured in a Major Film

I made it to the voting round of TagWorld.com's "Snakes on a Plane" movie music contest. Winning would create a lot of exposure for me within the industry. The movie is being made by New Line Cinema (huge). New Line will be reviewing the top 25 songs.

Major TV and movie licensing is one of my major goals. I just got my second documentary film last week.

Process to vote:

• Log in to Tag World (membership is free) and go to the voting page

• Click vote (voting ends May 23)

Thanks for voting!

Think

“People are very open-minded about new things. As long as they are exactly like the old ones.”
~ Charles F.Kettering, American inventor, businessman, social commentator. (1876-1958)

So true. It's very hard to think once you're set in your ways. Creature of habit, or creature of creativity? I prefer the latter.

Discover Music

I recently created an new forum (pod) for "Discovering Music" at Zaadz.com. Come join in on many great discussions.

Click here to check out my pod.

This pod is for discovering music (inspirational, spiritual, relaxing, pumped up motivational, etc.) as well as encouraging the study of music (whether it’s simply listening or actually taking lessons, etc).

Music is a great self-development outlet. For musicians and students of music, the classic instruments are great tools to build character, discipline and creativity. For both musicians and general music lovers, music is universal. It can turn a bad attitude upside down, create a stress free study session, make the party, marry two lovers, be the soundtrack to your workout or the accompaniment of your life.

What music inspires you? Do you study music? How is it helping you move forward? Do you want to study music?
