2016 - A Year to Celebrate!
I had a ton of music goals for 2016... and by the grace of God I met all of them!Although 2015 was pretty sweet and surprising in a lot of ways, I'm so glad to have reached so many goals in 2016.In 2016, I...
- Concerts: Played 13 gigs, including a second TV spot, the Bridge Run (again), and my first online show!
- Artist of the Heart: Re-branded with the help of my friend and logo-designer, Leah, and my hubby (aka main support system and website extraordinaire). I am now known as what I've been all along, an "Artist of the Heart." Along with that...
- Got a sweet new banner with my logo for gigs
- Updated all of my web presence with this concept
- Got new merch, to help raise income for recording my next CD
- Ordered super cozy-soft shirts with my logo
- Made "Folk" and "Soul" versions of my logo necklaces
- Got my Music out there! Significantly increased the reach and distribution of my Shifting Winds EP
- Received radio play on:
- Women of Substance (Music with a Conscience show, Inspirational Music show, Podcast)
- Girls Rock Radio
- Outbound Music: The Connection Radio Station
- WYLA 97.5 Charleston
- Accepted on Pandora Internet Radio! (8 stations, over new 200 listeners!)
- Music made available on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, etc.
- Received radio play on:
- Took Risks: Submitted to two Songwriting contests and a few licensing opportunities... didn't win, and some opportunities are pending, but it's always been a goal to try! ;)
- Taught: Created a Skillshare teaching channel to increase passive monetization between gigs... sweet outlet to share my knowledge, and raise funds to record again!
- Promoted: Increased marketing for my book and for various songs... let's get the message out there! :)
I am so grateful to every person that has supported me thus far. I wouldn't be where I am, making the impact that my music/message is making, without you!
