I live in L.A. Where can I find "Country Music " record producers looking for new songs for their artist to record?

All of my recent efforts have ended up leading to Nashville as the logical answer to my quest. However, since L.A. is considered to be the largest music recording market place in the United States, it would be reasonable to assume that a good number of "Country Music" record producers are living and working in the L.A. area. I can only assume that I have not figured out how to find and contact these producers.

I have had two (2) songs recorded and one (1) song used in an ABC TV special. I would welcome any advice. Asked by Observer 55 months ago Similar questions: live find Country Music record producers songs artist Entertainment > Music > Music Styles.

Since you've already had some success, you should try to find some representation. This will free you to concentrate on your music and let them handle the business side of things. They'll have better contacts than you can probably ever hope to find and you'll have much greater success getting your music sold through them.

I think your reasoning is sound, though. There should be many record companies in L.A. that buy country music. But you can also try using a service like this one:taxi.com/It" rel="nofollow">taxi.com/It might provide you with some leads and might allow you to make a few sales directly.

But I'd still recommend getting an agent as soon as you can. Good luck! Sources: taxi.com/ .

Contact Skip Heller - Fred Steven Heller, known to the music world as Skip Heller, is one of the Los Angeles country and roots-music scene's most interesting and complex players. Known as "America's most confusing country singer," Heller was born in Philadelphia on October 4, 1965 to an Italian mother and Jewish father. The oldest of three, Heller began his musical odyssey when he saw John Hartford perform on Glen Campbell's television show, and Michael Nesmith became one of the infamous Monkees.

The young Heller decided that their jobs were more fun than his dad's bus-driving gig. He spent his formative years listening to anything and everything, an aspect of his music that is reflected in the eclectic nature of his work, revealing that no two Heller projects are alike. He was deeply influenced by Floyd Tillman, Merle Haggard, Roy Nichols, Bill Evans, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, and a host of other contemporary artists from many different genres.

While in high school, he was a member of numerous garage and wedding bands. This led to jazz gigs and the formation of his own rockabilly band. He continued to play around his hometown after college, finally landing a publishing deal and eventually a small record contract with Gladman Records that resulted in his first release in 1992, Fallen Hand of Love.

Hailed by local critics for his stellar guitar style and journalistic approach to songwriting, Heller was considered to be one of the top up-and-comers around Philly. A second project followed in 1993. Again on the Gladman label, Moon Country was equally well received.In that same year, Heller hooked up with fellow player D.J. Bonebrake and formed a quartet; their efforts were recorded on the Dionysus Records release One More Midnight.

Heller's success as a musician and recording artist allowed him to expand his horizons. Educated and literate, he moved to Los Angeles in 1995, where he served as Les Baxter's score librarian and publicist while working as the reissue producer of Les Baxter: The Lost Episode on Dionysus. Thus another aspect of Heller's artistry became apparent as he not only worked with Baxter, but also other artists in various capacities.

(Heller feels a tremendous responsibilty to older artists and has dedicated himself to working with them as much as possible. )As a producer and arranger, Heller's move to the West Coast was profitable. Working with rockabilly legends Ray Campi and Sammy Masters propelled him forward.

He was in demand both in front of and behind the boards, and toured with Yma Sumac, as well as serving as a sideman on the Rosie Flores/Ray Campi CD A Little Bit of Heartache. In 1997, he released Lonely Town, on the TRG Records label.In 1998, Heller released St. Christopher's Arms on Rounder/ Mouthpiece and continued his studio work with artists as diverse as bluesman Big Jay McNeely and young rockabilly filly Dee Lannon. He also formed a working relationship with fellow jazz buff John Gilmore.

A multi-instrumentalist, Heller plays guitar, keyboards and bass. He has proven to be invaluable as an arranger, orchestrator and teacher. He moonlights as a music journalist, paying special attention to avant-garde, Jewish, and roots music.

He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and is often in the company of pals like Dave Alvin, Chris Gaffney, Katy Moffatt, and other locals who have come to respect this most baffling of country singers. -- Jana Pendragon, All-Music Guide Sources: email Skip Heller at [email protected] .

You don't have to be a country music fan......

My external hard drive has all of my music set up by songs, and not under the Artist and album. How can I fix this?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
