Desa's Presentation

Desa’s presentation was inspiring, her drive, work ethic, and innovative approach to music and marketing are inspiring. I left the class swimming with ideas about how to promote myself, and build a career. Her concept of, finding something memorable or unique about yourself to market, really resonated with me. I plan to exploit my ability to transcribe, compose and arrange through my MySpace.
The common thread between all the presentations so far this year is, using the internet, and in particular the free social networks it provides, in a creative way to build a fan base and develop an artists image.
Finally, Desa’s point about having a solid product that’s finished, meaning that the c.d. is already put together, your fan base is already established and maybe even a video already made, moved me to put start putting together a product of my own. Basically, the more you can do for yourself, and the less you leave up to the record company, the more money goes to you, which is fine with, because I’m an individual that likes to stay busy. If I’m not working from the moment I get up, to the time I go to bed, I feel like I’ve wasted the day.
