Need to get Radio Spins?

Indie Artists Alliance has come up with the best and most affordable resource guide in America for getting college radio airplay for only $9.95

It’s a fact! Without the backing of a major record label, most Indie artists will never get airplay on mainstream radio. Why? Because in the big business of music, cash (for promotion) is king and struggling performers usually don’t have much.

However, that doesn’t mean there are no other exposure opportunities out there. One avenue for Indie artists to get their tunes spun on the airwaves is college radio.

There are hundreds of these stations in the United States looking for quality music to broadcast — in all genres. That doesn’t mean they will play everything that lands on their desk, but as a rule, college radio stations are open to giving new songs a chance if they believe they will appeal to their audience.

This guide not only lists most all stations, but also includes detailed and up-to-date contact information, as well as inside information about how to submit material.

“Radio play means more CD, digital media sales and gigs,” says Phil Peretz of Indie Artists Alliance, “We are driven to create new and unique ways for Indie Artists to succeed as our growing suite of products and services and are proud to announce the release of this guide.”

Along with submission tips, every state-by-state listing in the guide includes the genre’s of each station, as well as their address, main phone number, studio phone number, email address and contact person.

It also states what type of formats they prefer songs to be submitted in, such as CD’s, CD-Rs or mp3s.

If all that weren’t the bargain of the century, “Indie Artists’ Greatest Guide To Getting College Radio Play” also features in-depth articles and expert tips on writing an effective press release, constructing a compelling cover letter and guaranteed ways to attract a DJ or music director’s attention.

Contributors for the E-book include Peretz and Luanne Hunt, an entertainment journalist and public relations specialist, who has interviewed hundreds of music, television and sports personalities, including Ray Charles, Jon Bon Jovi, Loretta Lynn, Toby Keith, Wynonna Judd, Trisha Yearwood, Randy Travis, Jewel, and Jessica Simpson. Peretz is founder and President of Media Media, Inc. and Indie Artists Alliance.

This ebook is jam packed with verified contact listings, all information that you need to get spins from College Radio Stations for all most genres of music, Hip Hop, Americana, Rock, Alternative, Country, Metal.

We are also including coaching articles by Luanne Hunt and Phil Peretz on how to put your best foot forward to insure the highest degree of success.

How To Promote Your Music And More With Independent Music Advice

Rebrand Yourself !

Rebranding:

 

the creation of a new name, term, symbol, design, or combination thereof for an established brand with the intention of developing a differentiated (new) position in the mind of stakeholders and competitors.Far from just a change of visual identity, rebranding should be part of an overall brand strategy for a product or service.This may involve radical changes to the brand's logo, brand name e.g.orphan initialism, image, marketing strategy, and advertising themes. These changes are typically aimed at the repositioning of the brand/company, sometimes in an attempt to distance itself from certain negative connotations of the previous branding, or to move the brand upmarket. However, the main reason for a re-brand is to communicate a new message for a company, something that has evolved, or the new board of directors wish to communicate.Rebranding can be applied to new products, mature products, or even products still in development. The process can occur intentionally through a deliberate change in strategy or occur unintentionally from unplanned, emergent situations.

Bio

 

 

Maria Katre Osler ‘aka’ (Maria Katre) was born and raised in Ypsilanti, Michigan which is part of the Metro-Detroit area. She comes from a very musical family. She was introduced to a wide variety of music at age 4, and from then on it was easy for her to memorize beats, rhythms, lyrics, songs, harmonies and the artists that sang and wrote them. Her grandmother noticed that she had a gift and she would soon catch others attention. She would often hear she possessed an “Old Soul” with the way she carried herself and her selection of music. In elementary school, her music teachers noticed she had an unique ear for music at such a young age. She loved anything that Motown, Jazz, Gospel, and Loved R&B & Classic R&B. One song that she recalls grabbing her attention first was “Soulful Strut,” by (Young Holt Unlimited). Every time her mother would listen to this on the oldies radio station, she would dance and make up her own lyrics because it is an instrumental piece. At the age of 8, her third grade teacher noticed that she stood out again from the rest of her class, not only with her musical ear but with acting. She was approached by her teacher to be a lead in a school play because she was very independent for someone her age. Not knowing her gifts at the time, she knew she loved music and playing a game she called (TV Shows) with her friends. In that game they would act out their favorite shows from television. These hidden talents became her strengths through the years. Katre received two full ride musical scholarship offers for playing the (Tuba) but turned them down to tryout other interests. After attending various colleges including Florida State University and lastly she attended Florida A&M University. In December 2008, she graduated with a B.S degree in Broadcast/Journalism and Minor in Theatre. During her last semester in the school of Journalism, she wrote, produced, and directed her first documentary entitled ,”In Their Eyes.” This documentary followed the lives of a blind adult and a blind child and how they live their daily lives.
For a long time Maria Katre, found it fascinating that those who are blind were able to do the same things individuals with sight were able to do, but were viewed incapable because of their disabilities. Her goal was to show everyone that just because one has a disability doesn’t mean that they aren’t capable. Ironically, her musically niche became obvious in her documentary with the selection of songs in several scenes. She was paired up with an amazing videographer/editor and her message was successful! In the summer of 2009, her professor submitted her documentary for competition with the University of Florida and she and her documentary partner won a 1^st place Associated Press Award for her documentary.Some TV/Film that Maria Katre’s has worked on several productions including: Scrubs,  90210, Hawthorne, Harry’s Law, My Brother’s Keeper (webseries), The Talk (CBS), and lastly, a HollaBack (a horror film). Maria Katre currently resides in Los Angeles and is currently working on her music while studying piano. She also has been a print model who has done various of lifestyle print-ad shoots.

She takes pride in her talents and firmly believes that, “If you can imagine it, and you can see it, and you can taste it… success is simply that… An idea.. A passion deep within that no one can take away…And making sure those things you’re really passionate about become a reality is key….” – Maria K. Osler
