Roc Nation’s Post

Hopefully Kendrick Lamar asks a local artist to open for him or to join him on stage. It would also be great if he, Roc Nation, and Apple contributed to a local organization that supports young musicians, such as The Roots of Music. https://lnkd.in/gXnCUfET ICYMI: Apple recently got out of paying New Orleans sales tax on music streaming services. https://lnkd.in/gsV36tdV Meanwhile, The City of New Orleans is rushing to spend $40-60M on cosmetic changes for Super Bowl tourists, at the expense of locals who need real long term infrastructure support. There’s always money for stuff like this but never for covering basic needs for residents. The big game is expected to bring 125,000 visitors and at least $500 million in economic impact to the state, so hopefully some of that money is actually used on what the city needs, like affordable & transitional housing, a reliable electrical grid, accessibility upgrades in public spaces and local transit, working pumps, etc. https://lnkd.in/ggJQeYiC There’s this phenomenon down here of money—millions—being earmarked for infrastructure projects that mysteriously is never spent. https://lnkd.in/gavsGDHZ The silver lining of all this recent press is that more projects are being fast tracked, timed with the Super Bowl. But it shouldn’t be this way. New Orleans is great to visit but living down here is a whole other thing.

New Post: Christian Music Is Missing Out on the Booming Christmas Market - https://lnkd.in/g5C-YqBp - Holiday music has exploded in popularity over the last decade as listeners hit play, again and again, on their favorite Christmastime songs on their favorite streaming services. The top 100 holiday tracks — track sales and on-demand audio streams in November and December — rose more than ten-fold from 2014 to 2022 compared to all-genre growth of 165% over those years. But one group of songs has been left out of the holiday gold rush: religious songs. !function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data)for(var r=0;r - Download: Stupid Simple CMS - https://lnkd.in/g4y9XFgR

🎹 Producers there is always an opportunity for your music to be used in sync even if that music is old. I’m gonna show you how in a second but first check this out.. I had some music placed on some of the Pro Volleyball Federation games. This is a brand new deal with CBS Sports that obviously needed music. (Think pre-game, post game, breaks, etc.) 🛑 But THIS is the crazy part…the music that was placed on these games was music I produced back in 2016. I didn’t even have to make new music, to get new placements on a new CBS Sports series. 🤯 If you want to learn how to revive your old music and get it placed in tv and film, comment the word “SYNC”. #synclicensing #musiclicensing #productionmusic #tvplacements

Let’s talk about this! What are your thoughts on this?

Let’s talk about sports

Blind people can’t watch baseball so why would baseball teams and stadiums need to provide relevant accommodations? Deaf people can’t hear music so why would concerts need to provide relevant accommodations? Watching baseball is not the only way to enjoy baseball, and listening to music is not the only way to enjoy live music. (Also, like many disabilities, deafness and blindness exist on a spectrum.) An accommodation doesn’t have to be relevant to you to be meaningful and necessary for someone else. In the workplace, accommodations are often denied because the approver doesn’t understand the relevance of the accommodation (often leading to disbelief). An accommodation doesn’t have to make sense to you to make sense.
