More Songs Needed For Kayla
We were doing a demo to shop to labels in Nashville about a year ago. We completed the demo and got good positive feedback !! However, they want to hear more. So, we are going to do a CD with 6 songs on it and we also want to have 6 others in our pocket. ...We are only interested in country and contemporary country songs. As you know a lot of POP songs can easily be transformed into Country. Add a steel Guitar, Fiddles,etc.I can guarantee you your songs will be listened to. Our goal is to do this project by the end of the year. Our cutoff time for receiving material will be August 31.You say why so long? Well, this time we are going to take our time and use only the best material we can find.
Additional Info: Kayla has been working with Renee Grant Williams for the past 5 years. Renee has worked with Faith Hill, Larry Gatlin, Linda Rondstat, etc. I think you could find info about her on the Web. Anyway Kayla started working with her when she was about 17. She is now 22. She moved to Nashville about a year and a half ago. Last year Renee said she thought we were ready to go to the studio to do a demo. We did 3 songs at Direct Image studio in Nashville. Casey Kelly (This is where the Cowboy rides away by George Strait, Soon by Tanya Tucker) gave us 1 Tune. Another was from a writer in California. After playing Demo for various people in Nashville and elsewhere we Received very promising response and the overwhelming theme was LET US HEAR MORE, DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE MATERIAL ?

SINGERS/GROUPS: CARRY
THE OLYMPICS MUSIC TORCH INTO THE NEXT
MILLENNIUM!
The Year 2000 Sydney Olympics Games will last for 16 days, during which time over 10,000 athletes representing 198 countries will compete in 28 different sports in venues in Sydney and throughout Australia (see http://www.sydney2000.com/). We have a song titled "Your Turn to Shine" which we believe could serve as the Winners' Anthem at the medal-awarding ceremonies--as Whitney Houston's "One Moment in Time" was used for the Olympics years ago. We'll be pitching our song to major recording artists and music producers. For that purpose, if you'd like to "go for the gold" and become the song's new demo singer (with appropriate credit to be given you), email your postal address to us as soon as possible and we'll send you the original demo, the lyric sheet and the music track over which you can record your version of this outstanding song.

Need awesome "new country" material
Hi there. My name is Shelly Wilson and I am looking for original material for an upcoming project. I have been instructed by a major record label to find some original material I think fits my style and they are doing the same. My producer has met with the President of the company several times and he is bringing me to Nashville to do a demo and try out some new material. I have a country blues style and a very powerful voice. I love attitude songs but also am looking for some heart felt ballads. Please send me all you can. I do perform a lot of crossover material./ I am in no way a traditional country artist. It just doesnt become me. If you are interested in sending your demos we will be listening to quite a few in the next 2 weeks. Thanks for your time.

Original songs
Hi, my daughter was asked to come to California to do a demo cd. My daughter writes lyrics but not music. Because time is so limited she is looking for original songs. She will be going somewhere between the 2nd week of August or the 1st to 2nd week of September. The songs she does are country, Shawnia Twain and LeAnn Rimes and some older country songs by Deborah Allan and Kim Richie but she also does folk/alternatinve such as Jewel. Right now she has one original and possible 2 remakes she will be singing. Anyone interested in helping, please contact me at my email to work out details. Thank you.

Music Can Change the
World
Submit songs for 1998 releases
We believe that Music CAN Change the World and that together we can all let nature ShoutOUT! and shake its collective tailfeather through the songs we lowly humans write and sing. Sooooo... we produce "enviropop" CDs and have this website to promote the notion that doing something/anything! is better than sitting around whining/denying; and that the "environmentalism movement" thang wasn't a fad.
Or if it was, let's bring it back!
We need songs from the like-minded. We need singers of the songs we already have. Get the CDs, sing the songs, keep the environment in mind and do little bits every now and then to KEEP US ALL BREATHING!!! It's time, and it works.
