What started out as offering my web "know-how" to a friend of mine get a website created had turned into a complete devotion to helping artists achieve everything they are capable of.

To begin at the beginning, what a thoughtful spot of rest:

Growing up in the 80's (laugh while you can, sing while you may!) really helped in the process. I watched so many friends struggle to get gigs, even if they were absolutey kick ass. But I was in Nowhere, California and getting out alive was your biggest feat, let alone ride the band wagon out to success. Many bands formed, and twice as many failed. Perhaps this was lack of promotion, or even lack of drive. I found that offering the slightest bit of help really instilled motivation in true artists.

Now even further back in time; I lived in the middle of the desert, not like in the movies, but it was the Mojave Desert, case in point: There were bands playing out in the valley, where the only way you could get there was by knowing how to read a stinkin' compass! OK, not really, but Nowhere IS NOWHERE! And bands played there all the time. There was a band that actually made it and I still have those fliers today. That band was
The Offspring. No, they weren't from the Mojave Desert, but they knew no limits to getting their stuff heard by EVERYONE, even the desert rats!

Thus, my self driven, no-finance promotions "business" was created. I do this free of charge for artists who are devoted to what they love, from musicians to film makers. All that I ask in return is for those who I represent to do their part and be true to themselves. It doesn't seem like much, really, but it is invaluable.
