'Strategies' With DamoEntertainment

I had the liberty to interview an industry professional who has built his own brand, and I have witnessed his charismatic attitude for local artists, musicians, and the music industry as a whole.  David Morris has branded his named with a catchy and straight-to-the-point phrase, which is called DamoEntertainment (DamoEnt). Here is what we discussed:

Q:  What is your function within the music industry?

A:  My function is the Music Industry is to promote the Underground Artist and try to get them more exposure not just within their city but other major cities.

Q:  How does social media networking benefit an artist and music businesses?

A:  Some social media aren't really worth the time that a number of people put their time and energy. A number of them seem like they are worth it and you think you are building a fan base but you are really not gaining fans but wasting time. Even though there are some good social medias out there it is very hard to get people to listen to underground music. Once you get them to listen they still don't understand the word supporting them especially if that person likes your music. 

Q:   What advice would you give to an upcoming artist who's building their brand?

A:  Advice that I would give an up and coming artist is (1) Make sure you have a true fan base; (2) Make sure you are putting out quality music; (3) Invest your money in your product but watch where you invest....all promo is not good promo.                                                                         

Q:  What kind of marketing do you deem is most effective within the music industry?

A:  Anyone that can send out email blast to DJ's, people that love music, not just mainstream, Join as many websites and talk to as many people as you can and always stay professional. If someone seems interested in your music..make sure you keep personal contact with them.

Q:  Are there any comments you would like to ask?

A:  Believe in your music...invest in yourself, build a fan base of not just friends and family, but fans of your music because there is a difference..Fans buy music and spread the word.
