New Artists


In the course of our time, we are going to provide insight through our music, our words, and our readings.

On Mondays, words spoken and read. This is a day for reading and discussing the words composed and expressed by others both on paper and vocalization.

On Tuesdays, we focus on new lyrics, their expression and performance, and the work of others. This is a day for song creation and producing the music to enhance the message.

On Wednesdays, we focus on identity and how we brand our talent -- how we seek others to perceive us through media, expression, action, and appearance.

On Thursdays, quiet days for silent reading and reflection. What it is and what it is about.

This experience is about the creation of a work that will express with words, their expression through voice and choice. The structure of this includes:

A well-composed selection of music, lyric, and cover art. The album will contain 13 songs with lyrics gathered from:
  • 4 poems
  • 1 cover song
  • 1 from a sectoin of a novel
  • 1 from a section of a newspaper
  • 2 original lyrics
  • 4 choice
This project is going to be evaluated on:

  • the Album Concept
  • Blog selections and production
  • Description of identity and performer persona and image
  • Marketing ideas, branding, and publicity
  • Production value of the music and lyrics
  • iTunes production
  • Lyric selection and description of reasoning as it relates to your album concept
  • Thursday posts on readings and reflections
  • Commentary and support given to other artists.
