Madalyn's Blog

Hey everyone, I did a great interview last week with Matt & Emily at Breakthru Radio. It was a lot of fun and I dished out all kinds of cool stuff. Take a listen plus you get to hear tracks from Sarah Bettens new CD, Shine.

A little bit about the station:
BreakThru Radio (BTR) is devoted to giving a voice to talented, upcoming artists and empowering DJs to pick and play their own music. We sift through hundreds of unsigned and indie artists each week to bring you the cream of the crop. Unlike traditional radio, we have no restrictions on style - we're happy to play rock, punk, hip hop, electronica, alt-country, reggae, metal, soul, et al. Our only requirement is quality.

At BreakThru Radio our motto is "Music for music lovers."

Coming up next month is one of my favorites, the Dewey Beach Music Conference. There will be so many great opportunities to meet and network with lots of great industry people. But what do you need to do to prepare?

There are lots of things:

*Load up on business cards and CDs.
*Have pen/paper to take notes
*Bring flyers about your show & don't be afraid to pass them out
*Show up with a positive attitude
*SMILE - it will make a huge difference

I have two great resources available in the GoGirls Music Store that can help:

Music Conference Teleseminar Panel
Earlier this year I hosted a Music Conference Panel featuring Allie Shaw (Hyperactive), Angie DeVore (Dfest) and Vikki Walls (Dewey Beach). They dished out lots of information and advice on music conferences. Including a Q&A session with the audience!

Check out this teleseminar call and learn how to make the most of a music conference!



Using Myspace to...
create a buzz @ a music conference
In this e-Booklet I'll show you how to use Myspace to get attention at a music conference! I talk about image & branding as well as useful tips before, during & after the conference.

I also provide Myspace page examples plus details on how to track friend requests. You'll learn valuable tools in this e-Booklet!
