They sent me a bunch of pre-release demos that they wanted my artists \u2013 YOU \u2013 to cover for them. We recorded those through February and early March.<\/p>\n<p>These pre-release demos were written by a bunch of London-based international hit songwriters who jointly have sold scores of millions of records, and they reserved these tracks especially for us. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Each of you came to the studio for a free 2 hour session. None of you had ever heard any of these songs. You listened and then picked the one you wanted to do. And then we started recording. In other words \u2013 you were asked to deliver a release-quality performance \u2013 like a pro!<\/p>\n<p>And the best part? You have indeed risen to the occasion and delivered demos which made the London guys raise their eyebrows. Yep, quite impressed!<\/p>\n<p>And what\u2019s even more cool is that most of that talent comes from just one local school \u2013 the Sotogrande International School (SIS)! Huge kudos to Mr Wix and Miss Laura for their part in making that happen. \ud83d\ude42 And of course: well done to ALL of you!<\/p>\n<p>No one got picked for this particular release, however. Mainly because of the combination of your age and the \u201cslightly too grownup\u201d subject matter of these songs.<\/p>\n<p>But I did say they were impressed, right? So here\u2019s what happened next.<\/p>\n<p>* They came back to me with a super cool proposal.<br \/>\n* They said they wanted me to prepare three new projects for them, involving the most promising talent from my roster: One project for rapid release, and two slightly longer term!<\/p>\n<p>Did you get that?<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU are being offered a chance to release a record.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This really is a HUGE opportunity for any aspiring young pop artist. And with the program I\u2019ve worked out for you, it\u2019s possible to do it without jeopardizing your school work or alternative career prospects.<\/p>\n<p>Look out for my next announcement (with all the details) coming up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What They Said\u2026 About YOU!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I want to share with you just a handful of the most positive comments I received from the industry professionals who reviewed you in the UK &#038; US.<\/p>\n<p>This is just a small extract from a few dozen emails, but it should give you an idea of how your demos have been received by top professionals in the music field.<\/p>\n<p>There were NO negative comments. Most were highly complimentary, even in cases where I would have expected critiques.
