"The Pack"

It’s official…the countdown to Gisel de Marco’s Listening Session is now in full swing!

For two years, I have been anxiously waiting for the moment I could finally release this video. Well, the day is finally here!

Gisel de Marco is the best I’ve ever heard and now, you’ll be able to witness something truly special.  This video represents the culmination of two very difficult years of carefully planned and orchestrated work.

Next week, THE WORLD will be introduced to this incredible artist; but until then, here’s a little taste of what to expect.  Please…share this page with everyone you know!

Thank you so much!

The February 2010 issue of the $50K Music Magazine is featuring articles about Angie Arsenault, Gisel de Marco, LeeAnn Casey, and Lindy Waldeck.  Angie Arsenault is gracing the cover this month with a wonderful picture taken from her “Once Upon a Dream” album and the write-up about her is a very insightful piece about her musical journey, news about her album, and her current fund raising project on Sellaband.

Gisel summarizes everything that has happened since she hit her budget goal and when we can expect to receive her debut album.  You can feel the excitement and energy in Gisel’s answers.

LeeAnn talks about how her short time on Sellaband has been an uplifting experience, a little bit about her background, and some insight in to the studio she will be recording her debut album in.

In Lindy Waldeck ’s article, she explains how she was drawn in to music and some insight into her fund-raising experience for her upcoming Jazz (and more) album financed by believers from Sellaband.

All of the articles are nicely written and you will learn a lot about each of these artists.  I encourage you to read it, if you haven’t already.

Cheers!

Hola everyone!

I have been working on something very special…something a little bit different than my “usual” videos and I couldn’t think of a better time to show you than on the first day of 2010!  As you all know, Gisel’s album will be released soon.  Right now, it is in the technical aspect of the production and for those of you who know Gi, you would understand that she is a perfectionist and this album MUST meet her high standards, before we are blessed with it.

For those of you who haven’t heard Gisel sing, allow me to share my thoughts with you:

Gisel sings about love and when you read her lyrics, you get a sense of what to expect; but when you hear her sing…she will leave you wanting to hear more!  The passion she injects into every song is incredibly powerful; but, when you hear her riffs…her “soft” voice…the super high notes she hits…and the power with which she delivers her message…you know this is an artist that will soon be recognized around the world!

Gisel’s Dynamic vocals showcase her 4-Octave range through many of the songs you will hear on her Sellaband playlist and on her website.

She is a brilliant, extremely talented and gifted singer and songwriter who will evoke intense emotions in the listener…you will feel her passion in every song she sings!

Her versatility surfaces when she sings soft and gentle melodies that are sensuous to the ear; but in the same breath, she is capable of unleashing powerful vocals that will leave you in awe! Just listen to “Roma”…you will understand why I write this.  She begins the song softly…and then slowly builds it to an incredible finish; all while drawing the listener in, when finally, they say WOW!  That was incredible!   She sings this beautiful song in her native language of Spanish and even if you do not understand the words (like me), you will be moved by her message.   The energy and passion she brings to this masterpiece is unrivaled!  When she hits the super high note at the end…it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up…every single time I hear it!  In my opinion, this is her signature song and it is by far, my favorite song of all time, by ANY artist.  I am convinced that “Roma” will find its way onto a big movie soundtrack, because it is that good!

Gisel’s beautiful Vibrato and Tremolo genuinely expresses her emotions and she transfers those emotions to the listener.  It won’t be long before Gisel will be singing to a packed house with a full orchestra.  I say this because that is what she deserves and I sincerely believe with all my heart, it will happen…many times!

Her music transcends International language barriers and when you hear “Roma”, I think you’ll agree.  I hope everyone reading this post will visit her website and listen to her demos…you’ll be happy you did and will most certainly become a fan.

Now the fun part. Gisel LOVES butterflies, so I’ve created a “story” summarizing her journey since she first joined Sellaband in March of 2007. I hope you all enjoy it…

Early in 2010, Gisel de Marco will be rewarding us…her believers, with those magic words we’ve been waiting so eagerly to hear.  Those words?  “My Album is Ready”!!!

As one of Gisel’s BIGGEST and most enthusiastic believers, I am chomping at the bit waiting to get this invaluable treasure in my paws!  In anticipation of what will surely be one of the most incredible albums by ANY artist ever, I am kicking off a series of videos to honor Gisel’s accomplishment.  I hope you enjoy the ride!!!

In what could be the fastest and most turbulent finish in Sellaband history, Inge Maria capped off her incredible journey of raising $50,000 US Dollars to record her first professional Album.  It’s normal and customary for artists [on Sellaband] who are close to achieving their “budget” goal to enjoy what is known as a “Countdown” chat with their believers, fans, and friends for a few days.  However, Rocket Lady, as she become known this past week, soared so quickly to the finish, there simply was not enough time to set one up!  In fact, artists will usually have a “Thank You” video ready to release immediately after they hit their goal; but once again, Rocket Lady Inge, didn’t have enough time to complete it.  I suspect, she’ll have something special for us tomorrow. )

Inge’s journey into the unknown began on April 13, 2008.  Along the way, Inge acquired some incredible support from a couple of extremely enthusiatic believers…MDWH and Andreas.  I joined her on July 6, 2008 and have been fortunate to celebrate so many happy moments with her, but I also wept for her during the sad times.

My first contact with Inge was a simple “Thank you” from her…thanking me for the support I was giving Gisel de Marco at that time.  She didn’t ask me to invest in her [like many other artists] and it was her concern for Gisel that showed me this was a special human being…someone who was more concerned with her fellow artist more than she was concerned with her own career.  That was the moment she won my heart forever!

I am so proud of Inge’s achievement and how she accomplished it…she weathered some very sad times, often so severe, that others would have given up.  But she is not one to give up easily; instead, she buckles down and works even harder.

As an artist, Inge is not your typical Pop artist.  She brings a whole new style and level of class to music.  She has a voice that is so pure, her voice reminds me of how I would imagine an Angel would sound…singing to my soul, as only an Angel could.  For those of you who have followed me on Sellaband, you could probably tell that Inge has a special place in my heart, and for good reason.  I never told her this before, but she and Gisel opened my eyes…they both showed me just how special Sellaband artists are…they both restored my faith in all the good qualities that are inherent in human beings; but not always demonstrated.  Inge is an artist I am proud to support and even prouder to call my friend!

I am absolutely confident that her album will make all of her believers very happy and proud, knowing they were a part of something special.

Thank you my dear friend…
