“Echo's of Influence – Bringing a Recording to Life
John Dover - Trumpet
Brain Grenade Entertainment is pleased to be working with trumpeter John Dover, based out of Portland, Oregon. John fuses his classic sound with a modern edge. With influences ranging from Miles Davis and Chet Baker to Sting and Jamie Cullum, John warms up the room with his cool tone.
Imagine:
A musician carving his own niche by combining his years of dedication to his craft and a detailed business plan with a philanthropic mission to bring live, professionally delivered clinics and lessons to young musicians who rarely, if ever, get the opportunity to interact with professional musicians.
A musician building a public image as a positive role model instead of relying on negative musician stereotypes to define his career.
A musician taking control of his career by implementing business strategies, including a solid marketing plan and numerous products to create multiple streams of sustainable revenue.
A musician that is out to bring his “Warming you up with his cool tone” sound to the next stage of his career by breaking out on his own, branding his music with his sound and image, while keeping himself out of financial debt and eliminating creative restrictions.
A new soloist emerging – melding multiple genres, catering to a broad concert-going audience. A musician that can serve as a role model for other artists who are stretching, bending, redefining and changing the borders of the styles of music today. At the same time, he is accessible to inspire young musicians searching for the confidence in themselves, their career possibilities and their ability to follow their dreams.
A musician putting out a high quality product that measures up to the highest industry standards while still retaining the rights to his music and creative independence.
A musician that writes and performs his own songs and delivers the music without excessive and overly used standards and clichés. He creates his own backdrop. He owns his creations – a refreshing concept in the redundant and sample-laden world of modern music.
A musician treating his passion as a business with a detailed financial plan to control the necessary spending, down to the penny. And this plan includes donating 25 percent of the profits from the upcoming recording to a nonprofit focused on providing clinics and lessons to underprivelaged kids.
Your help can make this all happen
More about John Dover and this unique opportunity to be a part of
“Echos of Influence”…
John has the attention to detail and drive to bring this project from start to completion … this could awaken a new movement and create a new benchmark for other independent artists in the jazz, rock, latin, funk, and classical genres.
Loren Weisman, BGE
John’s Charitable Contributions...
Along with his distinctive sound and approach, John takes his creativity and versatility beyond his music by reaching out the community at large.
Twenty-five percent of the profits from this album will be donated to a nonprofit charity serving as a resource for under-served young musicians.
During tours, John will also be donating his time and talent to work with rural and inner city schools to assist their music programs by providing clinics and lessons to young musicians who rarely, if ever, have the opportunity to work with professional musicians because of the school’s location and/or their available funding.
John is showing his commitment to his music and his career while also demonstrating a commitment to a cause he believes in with all his heart.
John’s Business and Success Plan…
John has covered all the bases, another thing that is rare in the music industry today. He has worked with his producer to prepare a strict budget, taking the project all the way from preproduction to the press release to the launch of the album.
BGE’s Founder and John’s producer for this recording, Loren Weisman, explains his firm’s interest in John and this project by saying, “John has the attention to detail and drive to bring this project from start to completion with the best, most professional results. We also see in him the best chance to find long term self sufficient success. I think it could awaken a new movement and create a new benchmark for other artists in the jazz, rock, latin, funk, and classical genres.”
Working with Brain Grenade Entertainment , the artist consulting company, John has developed a plan to release an industry-ready recording as well as the marketing and initial distribution plan and needed materials to support the release.
John’s plan is to record, mix, master and implement basic level distribution and solicitation to major and high-echelon networks and management without the need for agencies that would take long-term percentages, or profits.
John has also been working with BGE to create the proper branding, marketing and promotion to bring this recording as well as his image, ideals, sound and concepts to a spectrum of different audiences.
John will also ready his materials for solicitation to every resource that will bring him to a new level, from managers to talent buyers to licensing groups and more.
Financial Needs…
The key to bringing this project to fruition is raising sufficient funds to get this disc recorded, released and promoted while launching the website and promotional materials without debt.
Utilizing Loren Weisman’s years of experience as a performer, producer and consultant, John has targeted an early 2009 release, assuming that funds can be procured to get him through the final production stages and into the marketing phases within an overall budget under $39,000. For those unfamiliar with the music industry, this may sound expensive, yet, using comparable industry standards, this price tag is a reduction of more than 84 percent of what such a production would normally cost.
Once John raises these funds, he can meet all the goals without the financial and legal compromises with which most artists are faced – such as long term indebtedness, obligations and percentage loss. Of the investments, John will pay back reasonable percentages, if any, and not lose the rights to his music.
