Here's a resource you really must be aware of if you're creating reggae. Zojak Worldwide is the leader in digital distribution for reggae music. Be warned - the site may take a long time to load (but it's worth the wait!)
Here's another really useful one-stop source for creative music licensing:
Have you come across this resource yet? These friends of ours provide a terrific digest of all the latest news and events in the music business, as well as giving great advice (almost as useful to those of you signed as anyone unsigned, despite their name). So give their site a try - you won't regret it:
Fancy staying in a hotel perfect for musicians? Check out what our friend Mandi Fuller says about her new venture: "We want to make Sanctum Soho Hotel perfect - we will therefore be open to the public from Thursday 2nd April.
For details of our Soft Opening please contact reservations@sanctumsoho.com.
Luxury 30 room boutique hotel with private cinema, roof top garden with open air hydro spa, restaurant and residents bar."
Got a tour or a major music event you need sorting out? You need Re-Production, the company run by our friend Andy Corrigan.
Just follow the following link: www.re-production.co.uk
Do you think that reggae is ill-served by the UK press (and the music press in particular)? So does Culture Reggae, a fan site set up by our friend Callum. If you want to put the word out about tours, gigs, albums, singles and other ventures, Culture Reggae can help. Check out www.culturereggae.co.uk
Contact Callum on: callum@culturereggae.co.uk
Are you an artist or songwriter pushing to make a breakthrough? Or in a band that needs a sympathetic hearing? Why not contact our friend Mike at Noma Records who is always looking for talented songwriters and musicians?
See what the label does on: www.nomamusic.com
Need anything written, and you haven't got the time? Or maybe you just don't feel like it? Listen, tell me about it - seriously. Give ace writer Mike a call on 020 8960 2623 - or on my mobile (07861 364733) if I've remembered to switch it on, charge the battery etc
Anything goes: websites, pr and marketing stuff, articles, song lyrics, screenplays, books, ghosted novels, I've done 'em all, and I can conjure them again.
Oh yeah, the rates are pretty reasonable too.
