About Us

Our goal is to share information about recent events in the music industry via photos and videos. We generally focus on independent ("indie") artists.

Please notice that you can move through the slideshow by pressing the Next button, and that if you see someone who intrigues you, then you can click on their photo and visit their website.

Recently we added a Facebook page entitled "NurtureMusicBiz Spotlights Celebrities Exploring Charities":

Amazing Italian rock guitarist and composer, Diego Budicin, visited us during the month of August, 2010, performed his music in various locations in Florida and participated in funny videos that we filmed for YouTube. Click on an icon to see one of our videos:

One of our sponsors is Ariel Publicity, a Music PR firm with an eleven-year history of delivering results for independent musicians. Ariel’s Cyber PR service is an online public relations campaign custom designed for each artist based on musical genre, hometown and touring markets.

Ariel Publicity also has a book available for sale called Music Success in Nine Weeks.

They also have a program related to helping you send newsletters to your fan base: www.bandletter.com.

They also have a service where they hire writers to review your material that you can quote on your MySpace page and promo literature: Review You.

I'm exchanging reciprocal links with MusicForte.com. They provide various services to indie musicians, including help with getting barcodes for your CDs and help with getting your CD's on Amazon.

For music industry news we recommend you check out Independent Rockstar and Skope.

Songclash.com has been built behind the premise of music battles. Similar to that of your typical live battle of the bands, Songclash’s system pits artists within a similar genre against each other. The results of the competitions are left where they should be - in the hands of the fans. By using a one-of-a-kind voting system, the user experience for both the fans and the artists is truly a memorable one.

We use Corel software for editing videos:

Jonathan Budd is a marketing genius, and my fervent hope is that VERY SOON he will take an interest in creating a special program to help musicians market their music. In the meantime, even though his present focus is on helping people be successful with multi-level marketing (MLM) organizations, he has a great deal of useful information to share that is applicable to anyone who has something to sell -- including music CDs and other products. If you click on his links, you'll find that he is very talkative and you'll also find that he is brilliant at marketing. My life has changed for the better as a result of listening to this man:
