DOWN THE TUBE - Tommy McWilliams
http://www.tommymcwilliams.com/down-the-tube
In the constantly evolving process of trying to keep control over your artist’s career arc; Britain’s One Direction’s handlers have decided to forget to put their latest single up on the most popular search engine for music worldwide. Because One Direction are using their colossal social media presence to actively push fans towards iTunes and Spotify instead. Sound like a good idea to you? It will be fun to watch and see if this strategy pays off. Oh. and by the way YouTube was a huge part of how...Whene...

WORKING CLASS HERO - Tommy McWilliams
http://www.tommymcwilliams.com/working-class-hero
There was no need for useless icebreaking questions. The witty repartee began almost immediately. You know how you can usually identify a member of your tribe? I think the old working class mentality is a cop-out. It’s burying your head in the sand. And it’s a guaranteed way in this new economy to get stuck in a place where your talents are not being utilized and your potential is diminished. And it doesn’t matter what you do for a living, where you work or what your job is. The evolution of value creati...

FAILURE IS AN OPTION. The Indies and Taylor won! But so did Apple. It’s a win/win. I have to admit I did not see this coming. I thought for sure that Apple would not cave. It’s Apple’s right to conduct their business as they see fit. Cue: Apple will always make sure that artist are paid #iTunes #AppleMusic. Cue: #AppleMusic will pay artist for streaming, even during customer’s free trial period. Cue: We hear you @taylorswift13 and indie artists. Love, Apple. Now were all in the same canoe . Apple proved ...

BUZZER SKILLS MISSED GRAMMY OPPORTUNITIES. On 06 Feb,2016. What things you ask? The problem for Seth was not that he didn’t know the answers; it was he waited until he remembered the answer to buzz in. You know what the ‘Buzzer is right? This feels wrong in so many ways. It feels reckless, careless and selfish. Of course we’re supposed to wait until we’re sure before we buzz. But the waiting leads to a pattern of not buzzing. And you LOSE! I was at The Staples Center for the 42. Annual Grammy Awards Cere...

I wrote this for my eldest son on his 18th birthday last year. He graduates from high school today. I originally did want to post, but my mind was changed. I think it’s appropriate to share on this day. To the Rock Star I know you will become. Today is your 18. The day you were born I looked at you and I realized I was looking into my own eyes. I saw everything I was, everything I wanted to be and everything I never was. But the most important thing was, I realized who I could become. Decide who you are ...

MUSIC NEEDED A HOME… - Tommy McWilliams
http://www.tommymcwilliams.com/music-needed-a-home
MUSIC NEEDED A HOME. Apple’s launch of a consumer-friendly on-demand service, with an inescapable marketing drive behind it, looks like it might be a tempting pathway back into legitimacy. MBW. What if you had to only focus on what YOU had to do to be great? You have to be fearless. Nope It shouldn’t be. Is there a path? Waiting for the right ‘paying’ client or artist may not be the best approach. I contend that the critical path to success is to take the time to choose yourself as a client. To choos...

SPOTIFY - THE EVIL ENEMY - Tommy McWilliams
http://www.tommymcwilliams.com/spotify-evil-enemy
SPOTIFY – THE EVIL ENEMY. That’s correct it’s Spotify. The Evil Enemy Of Artists. Spotify, the latest embodiment of THE MAN looking to rip off and keep down hard working artists with it’s pitifully small payouts and absolutely no conscience. I am only using Spotify as the example. There are a few streaming services that are currently on the scene – Pandora, ITunes Radio, Google Play, All Music – it just looks like Spotify is the winner so far. How Come Netflix Can Do It. By comparison the execs that admi...
