My current favorite quote delivered to me from my favorite person. Blog coming soon, stay tuned. #fb (Taken with instagram)
itbeginsatmidnight asked: Who controls/updates your Tumblr? Is it you or your agent/manager?
It is the one and only, Me!
There are some things I don’t EVER think one should outsource… and number one on my list is talking to real people.
You guys are what it’s all about to me, and I’ll never put a barrier between what I put out there and what you want to say back.
You can rest assured that when it says it’s me, I will Always be the one moderating, listening, and posting on this blog. My lovely assistant, Kristen [who is also featured singing in this video], may post from time to time but always as herself. You can follow her adventures as well here: http://kristenwright.tumblr.com/
Thanks for asking!

Hello Ohio #fb (Taken with instagram)
In 2011, I wrote one song a week for three months about anything my fans could dream up, and gave them all away for FREE.
I’m back at it again, and making it bigger than ever. Once a month, I will pick an idea / story / piece of inspiration that was submitted here and write, record, and shoot a music video for a completely new song!
From filmmaker and fan collaborations to contests and deeper interaction, this year’s songwriting campaign is gonna be one for the record books! At the end of it, you’ll walk away with 5 new songs and music videos, downloadable for FREE.
…and it all starts with You. So go ahead… tell me your Story.
Exciting announcement coming your way tomorrow… (Taken with instagram)
Eight years ago, I left college with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music. Untested and honestly, quite naive, I spent the next three years using money from designing websites freelance to ineffectively tour as an artist around the country, gigging myself into over $6k of high interest credit card debt. Embarrassed and defeated, I stopped writing, I stopped playing music outside of my home, and my answer to “what do you do?” begrudgingly changed from music to websites.
Fast forward to today and I’ve been debt free for over 2 years. Within that time, I self-funded my own full-length record from cash and recently started a music marketing company to promote independent artists. I took 2 months, wrote/recorded and shot a video for one song a week about anything my blog readers submitted and released them all for FREE, and I’m currently in the process of booking the most extensive tour I’ve ever played.
How did I do it? I want to show you and show that you can too with 5 simple rules.
Happy Holidays my Friends
