Summer Fun And The Music Industry Seriousness

Summer is a time when several songs are released across the Caribbean. Many artistes are working to push their career forward or even just getting their career started. I am sure that they are those of you who might be artistes or contimplating it. I am sure the others… I mean vocally challenged like myself lol, might have been approached about using one of your talents to assist artistes in their careers. Whatever your current position or pending position, I am sure you want to know more.

As you know I define myself of course as an Online Marketer and Web 2.0 Consultant, I would advise that you take the time to understand the role that the internet is playing within the industry. I would like for you to take some time to recognise that the game is changing. The music itself, the recorded track or album is not longer a product that is paid for. Many persons don’t pay for the songs they have in their possesion. We are coming into a world where the idea of paying a small fee and having access to an unlimited number of songs is very much a reality.

There is much to learn, I have written on the music industy on this blog,

Check out all my post here

Included in those list of posts is a guest post and a podcast with Simone Harris. Simone has been one person who helps to keep me on my toes when it comes to these specific changes in the music industry. Since that time Simone has now launched her own blog and website. You know I can’t beleive her – she’s gone off doing her own thing!!! lol I am kidding.

I am glad to see that I could have helped her to get her start, her blog – Simone Says has become one of those must read blogs for me. Simone shares her thoughts and highlights the happenings in the the industry which I find very helpful.

You can check out her spanking new website www.simoneharris.com

Simone also shared this video by Bobby Borg – author, musician and educator with me, which I feel has alot of relavance to us in the Caribbean as things for summer start to go into over drive.

LIAT As A Catalyst To Build A Caribbean Community

I saw this video and I immediately thought of LIAT or Caribbean “budget” airline. magine the endless possibilities as LIAT fly us around the Caribbean!
Think about heading to Trinidad Carnival on LIAT and listening to the socarised version of the flight accouncements. Let me tell you there are several Carnivals and Festivals in the Caribbean and Cricket is also another big attraction.
How many Festivals and Carnivals are there in the Caribbean you think? Well LIAT has 22 destinations and each country has just about 2 major festivals! Don’t believe me?
Check it out www.caribbeanentertainmentsearch.com (search for the “(country name) festival or (country name carnival)” 

What about getting an Artiste from one Island and having them do a small performance on a plane? LIAT doesn’t have a TV! I say live entertainment!I know its only 20 people, but its an intimate setting with people from all walks of life, and from around the globe! LIAT gets some in-flight entertainment and the artiste gets to fly to another island.

Wait hold on, the ideas are flowing. The artiste can spend a few hours in a neighbouring island, produce a track with a a producer or Artiste from that Island and then head back to their homeland. And all the while the artiste is twittering and updating his/her facebook, myspace and bigging up LIAT to their fans.  Imagine the song then becomes a hit in both islands, LIAT can certianly leverage that to encourage more travel! Imagine if it then turns into a movement, there will be certainly alot of benefits for LIAT there, as lasting friendships and business relationships develop.

Look at that! A simple idea can help to grow a truly Caribbean Community, via the Music Industry.

Now that is just 1 industry,  how can this idea be repeated in other industries?

Please by all means share your ideas, the powers that be at LIAT might just be reading this. Trust me it really is not that far fetched! 

Actually come to think of it, would not not be a good core strategy for LIAT to incorporate into its current plan?
