For over a decade, DJFolami was the Music Coordinator at the Caribou Club and also enjoys opening for a variety of artists at the Belly Up Aspen, a boutique live music venue voted by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of America's Best Live Music Clubs.

In 2012 Tingstad released his instrumental Americana recording Badlands,deriving influence from Native American music, along with country and roots genres. In 2015 Mississippi was released as the follow up CD to Southwest and Badlands.

With a running time of 73 minutes, Electric Heart features music by Armin van Buuren, Dash Berlin, Chuckie, Gabriel & Dresden, and many others. Scott's experience includes years spent with Vello Virkhaus of V Squared Labs assisting with visuals at Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival, and Coachella.  He has worked in Post-Production for numerous television shows in Los Angeles including Mad Men, Idiotsitter, Zoo, and @midnight.  He is a graduate of the American Film Institute.  Scott is currently in Pre-Production on two additional FilmEDM Experiences, Drastic Love and The Dream Catcher. Matt Ciociolo has been involved in acting since he was a young kid.  After performing in plays and musicals throughout elementary and high school he began performing at the Boston Actors Theatre while attending Business School at Northeastern University.  He was able to play Giles, the lead in Agatha Christys "The Mousetrap" as well as a very funny lead role as Theo in Steve Martins adaptation of "The Underpants" by Carl Sternheim.  Once moving out to Los Angeles Matt has been involved in films throughout the past 10 years since moving out here.  He has also appeared in national commercials such as Samsung and Mariott as just a few of his many acting projects he has been involved in. He looks to bring something new to every role and be as unpredictable as possible (especially to himself).

We discussed their inspiration and tips for making it in the music business. One common theme was the importance of doing what is authentic to you and not doing what you think would work, just because it’s a formula. Almost all of the artists also discussed that they were musicians outside of children’s music first and found it easier to balance family life and music life when they switched to children’s music. Another theme that emerged was the importance of working away at your music career and basically doing the work both musically and on the business end. The nominees were Brady Rymer and The Little Band that Could, Frances England, Okee Dokee Brothers, Recess Monkey and Secret Agent 23 Skidoo.

First of all, I recommend staying close though actually not on-site. I stayed about a mile and a half away which was a quick ride to and from so it was close and convenient but a bit away from the fray. I highly recommend bringing snacks and food as the food lines were often 45 minutes to an hour and there isn’t a huge selection. Looking at schedule and determine what your goals and then mapping out  rough schedule using the app and the website was the way to go for me. Remember it takes a fair amount of time to go from hall to hall as the venue is so huge! Lastly if you’ve never gone, I do recommend it, I met a lot of great people and learned a lot – I will also be sharing more interviews with those I connected with there. Things coming up! Excited that this weekend I will be interviewing Grammy nominees and then following up with going to the Durango Songwriters Expo in Ventura, California so I will have a lot more interviews and tips to share with you. Also I am so happy that my podcasts have gotten over 2 million downloads to date and I am getting about 400 downloads a day on this one and growing quickly! If you want to learn about my other podcasts, you can go to my website <a href="http://www.laurapowers.net" rel="noopener">www.laurapowers.net</a>. I also had the pleasure of interviewing Tana Stahn, CEO of Chesbro music, live at NAMM." Chesbro Music Company, is a prime example of a distributor-turn-manufacturer. Chesbro Music Company is a privately owned American manufacturer and wholesaler of musical instruments, musical instrument accessories and sheet music. Chesbro Music was founded in 1911 and is based in Idaho Falls, Idaho.[1] Chesbro owns Teton Guitars, and has been run by female CEOs since 1953.

Face is a rock acapella band and that also does pop and many other genres. Cody was formerly in a band called Kindred for 10 years. He started with Face and they built a large following quickly. Fifteen years later they are doing it full time. Face was on season 1 off The Sing Off. Unlike some acapella groups, none of Face band members are acapella nerds, they listen to pop and other mainstream music. Some of the band members did acapella in college and started to form sound but they stand out because approach from a rock or pop versus acapella. They recently crowdfunded $40k through Kickstarter for a European tour so we talked about that as an option for bands who want to tour. They are 5 guys, artists, friends, and in business. We discussed how if it’s part of your purpose, it has to manifest. They have lots of free shows you can check out and you can find them on Instagram and twitter.

We discussed how the model has shifted from a copy model to an access model (from cd’s to streaming for example).  Ritch addressed how musicians and artists really need to figure out what their aims are in terms of music. We also discussed how the industry is changing so quickly and it is really important for artists to understand what is happening in the industry in order to be successful. It is currently difficult to make money from recorded music. For most recording artists, less than 6 % of their income is coming from recorded music. What constitutes a successful artist is you must be a live performer. The good news is there are no more gatekeepers, the bad news is there are no more gates so the ability to get people’s attention is paramount. Think of your life, how many times in a day is someone trying to get your attention? The worst enemy is obscurity. With these changes, there is so much more choice which is great but it can be even harder to be seen. For example, the first Sundance film festival, they had 62 submissions, last year they had 2,800. This year there are 412 scripted TV shows this year. It can be hard to be seen in that environment. It used Even if people are gifted, they will not be successful unless they have drive as well.  We discussed how the model has changed from making money from selling recorded music to selling merchandise or live shows. According to Forbes, Katy Perry made $135 million last year and only 8 % came from music sales. One thing Prince did in 2006, he gave $3.5 million in cover mount cd’s in the newspaper (cd’s given away for free on the cover) with that very aim when he had 21 nights of shows in London. That said this kind of large-scale success is rare. Ritch mentioned that 18 percent of people watch TV networks, and that nothing in the 82 dominates. Last year, Live Nation did a study looking at why 35% of their tickets weren’t selling and it was because people didn’t know their favorite bands were playing. That said, now it is possible for more people to make a living as an artist than in the past. The importance of educating yourself on the industry is paramount so that you can guide your work and focus in a smart way. Ritch recommended professional development including attending conferences, workshops, and events and listening to podcasts etc. In fact, Laura and Ritch connected through the ASCAP – I Create Music Conference. Educate yourself on trends and resources.  Ritch also recommended Music Business Television as a resource <a href="http://mubutv.com/" rel="noopener">http://mubutv.com/</a>.
