RE: Original Music Wanted! Get Your Music Heard!

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

No worries. She's awesome. I'm going to be making the video for our next release for her - the song Coda, on Steemit starting later this week probably and doing a blog about it every few days.

It's a very small label, just two local artists so they don't have any money. I help out on a voluntary basis.

She did a rock album in Denmark (on the Island of Bornholm) when she was sixteen which never saw the life of day over a legal issue, then when she started this new project she had a big initial success in the UK Club Circuit with Armada in Holland and as she was getting traction she got hit again by an action from completely different entity claiming they owned her songs who was going around the internet filing false DCMA claims in bid to control her publishing. (She writes all her own songs, no covers, all her own talent and voice so it was pretty unfair)

We had to get a major legal firm to get her back her rights to her original music. They succeeded in getting back 100% ownership of her songs and publishing but it took nearly two years and was a big fight. At the moment she's taking a break. She and her husband just had a little girl.

Anyhow, what artist doesn't have some pain in their story right?

Sort:  

Oh wow. Thank you for sharing her story.

Although it was a terrible ordeal, and I am not making light of it, this is what music is made of. Music needs the good AND the bad to have the feeling...

I am glad she found love <3 and happiness. A little girl! What a joy!

Perhaps she will have her Mama's talent? ;)

It's totally cool. Music definitely needs the good and bad, that's what makes it music.

I'm sure she's going to keep going, I remember when my daughter was born, those first couple of years are a pretty special time to take out of the game. I did as well.

I hope she does :)

this is the track I'm doing the video for. Just waiting for the 3 min 40 version.
