Dessa's Words of wisdom

This last week I had the honor of having one of my favorite artist of all time come in to my CALM class to discuss had to get yourself or your band media attention. She give my class great advice as to where to start with the media and how you go about it . She first talked about how press release kits should be shot always at shoulder height because if the picture needs to be smaller the viewer will still see the band. Next, she discuss how to get people to come to your shows and figuring out what to offer the person you want to help you. Lastly, she discuss how knowing what the publisher's and newspapers main writers are key because they can determine if your music should be put in the article and why the people should come see your act.
