One of the new projects is the CD and ongoing promotion for this stellar young man, Simon Spire. Simon is one of the first artists I selected to work with in my Artist Advance project. We have had an amazing 4 years working together to bring forward his personal vision in music. Its been a fun and successful journey that started in a parking garage at LA International Airport and has taken us to islands in the Pacific Northwest, Sedona, Arizona, gigs in LA, adventures in New York, with many wonderful moments and awesome teachers along the way. Simon Spire's new CD, All or Nothing, is the culmination of that process. To read more about Simon's project, go to the Main Stage Award page, and in the section called B.I.O. - By Invitation Only.

Lopez Artist Audition
I've just completed a community artist development project I called Lopez Artist Advance. Taking place on a little island in the San Juan Islands of Washington State, we raised funds locally and held community-wide auditions to provide the winning artists with a producer, recording opportunity, artist development and guidance, one thousand pressed CDs and a community concert CD release party. It was fun, and very rewarding--the artists and their CDs are terrific. Go to the Artist Advance pages to explore Lopez Artist Advance and learn more about the artists and their music. Also find them in the section called B.I.O--By Invitation Only.
