Who is the Music Dreamer…

    

I believe in music… The way that some people believe in fairy tales… (August Rush)

I am the Music Dreamer, an industry insider who genuinely loves the multifaceted world of music biz. Loving all its melodies and sounds unequivocally by default.

Cynicism isn’t a word anywhere close to my everyday music management mantra. I’m not saying this journey doesn’t have its confusing twists, turns & painful bumps; I simply believe that maintaining course & radiating positivity will overcome it all, especially when you have passion and you believe in what you do. I’ve always had a good “ear” for music—for finding the rare jewels within obscure albums, for finding potential within emerging artists & talent. With time, I’ve become a professional appreciator of the creative struggles and sometimes chaotic dynamics of what it means to be an artist/musician. The discovery of raw & authentic talent, becoming part of a bigger story, of being at the epicenter (although behind the scenes) of new “hyper-sonic revolutions” is what keeps me up at night & fuels my days. You might label me just another manager or marketer. I like to think of myself as part of an optimistic resistance, as “The Jerry Maguire of the Music Business.”

If you find me on LinkedIn, you’ll discover the networking music professional. On Twitter, you’ll encounter my passing thoughts and opinions. On Facebook, you’ll notice social prowess & photos of my everyday reality. And when you feel the energy of the circling cynics is becoming overwhelming, when there are no more “clicks” left in your search-engine quest for music industry know-how & encouragement, you’ll have this blog, my blog; you’ll have the Music Dreamer.

Playing “on key” is something you’ll learn at schools & universities, but those beautifully-placed & subtle background notes of the business—found only through experience and arduous trial—are found here…a blog that’s more like an instrument of unlimited possibilities.  Dream On, Dreamers!
