Organic Music Marketing Is Leading The Way In The Atlanta Music Scene Through Its Innovative Marketing Strategies And Organic Branding Techniques

In just the past few years, the world of music marketing has fundamentally changed. The popularity of streaming music services like Spotify, the rise of social media as a new form of promotion, and the growing importance of alternative media such as music blogs have all created the need for a new type of music marketer that can navigate this new competitive landscape.

Atlanta-based Organic Music Marketing, with over 10 years of experience in the music industry, has kept pace with these changes, developing relationships with labels such as Atlantic Records and Epic Records along the way. Since it was formed, Organic Music Marketing has worked with a wide range of music industry professionals, record labels, and artists, including Cam Kirk, Resolve Media Group, DC Young Fly, Bernard Flowers, Cyhi The Prynce, Jean Kelley, Hero the Band. In each case, the company helped to give a boost to their music careers.

What Organic Music Marketing understands better than others is that "getting your music heard" is harder than ever today. It requires fresh thinking about how to get in front of new fans, as well as a focus on understanding how people are interacting with music. It's no longer just a matter of trying to sign with a major label and getting radio airplay. It's now a matter of building buzz at the grassroots level by leveraging all the digital and social media platforms available.

As one of the most established music marketing agencies in the Atlanta metropolitan area, Organic Music Marketing has formed relationships with the types of music industry influencers who can help to get your music heard and shared. Influence is the new currency that can get people talking about and listening to your music - and it's the key to getting the best music blogs to notice your new work.

Organic Music Marketing helps music artists create, build and then launch a marketing strategy that’s designed to get results. For some artists, that might mean a website re-design or an e-mail blast campaign. For others, it might mean a blog and social media promotion campaign that’s timed to coincide with the release of a new album.

Where Organic Music Marketing really excels is by matching your visual identity with your music identity. Today's digital web is highly visual - the way people connect with music artists is not just via their music, it's also by their presence on Instagram or YouTube. In today's music marketing world, having concert clips or other video clips being shared on Instagram is just as important as being heard on SoundCloud.

For Organic Music Marketing, that means creating an organic music presence on the web that fits in with the way fans and music lovers are connecting on the Internet. It's all about getting the right music to the right people at the right time. If people are spending time on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, then that's where Organic Music Marketing is going to be. And, as tastes change, Organic Music Marketing will evolve as well. It's all part of the company's focus on getting your music heard.

Caspar McCloud Releases First Acoustic Worship Album "Pictures Of Jesus"

Caspar McCloud, virtuoso guitarist and vocalist, has just released his first acoustic album, unveiling to the world what close friends, church members, and conference attendee's have previously only been able to enjoy in person.

Caspar's album, titled Pictures of Jesus – Acoustic Worship, features 14 originals, with heartfelt, thoughtfully rendered lyrics and acoustic guitar. The vocals show the strength, maturity and gentle power of his emotions from song to song. The album tastefully features numerous shining examples of Caspar's unmatched guitar solo abilities woven throughout every track; the care, attention, and composition all prevail as a display of musicianship that comes only from a seasoned professional.

Caspar's recording career goes back to earlier days as a signed Atlantic Records recording artist, through many years of album releases in his name and with his band Ministry of Three. 

Pictures of Jesus - Acoustic Worship provides the listener with the first opportunity to hear the simple, refined nature of his talent without the amplifiers and larger-than-life band elements of past releases. This is a rare glimpse into genius in its most exposed, direct, and masterfully polished form.

"The past several years I have been asked to speak and play at a number of conferences, events and churches..." Caspar shares.

"Playing without my band meant singing my songs playing my acoustic guitar whilst exploring new realms of possibilities without other musicians. Ludwig van Beethoven was once quoted as saying 'The guitar is a miniature orchestra in itself.'

Over the last few years numerous people, including my good friend Trey Smith (God in A Nutshell) have greatly encouraged me by asking when will there be a recording of these acoustic songs you have played for us?

My long time friend and fellow artist, musician, erudite theologian, and software inventor Michael Angel took on the task of producing my first all acoustic album which shall be released in a few days time.”

Pictures of Jesus – Acoustic Worship is available through all major online distributors and will release via CD shortly after launch. It can be purchased for immediate download at:

Tubby Boy X Telboy - Oh So Real (Out Now)

Listen: https://youtu.be/m-awJ5TqriU

Oh So Real is a brutally honest, dark urban banger, courtesy of the forever flow-etic Tubby Boy and the vocally unmistakable Telboy. Oh So Real is lyrically themed on observations surrounding some of the music industry's aspiring artists and their lack of realness, desperate attempts at recognition and inflated self-worth. All of this popping off on a deep, heavy beat that sounds like a south London borough had passed through a recording studio in Houston or Atlanta.

As per usual, Tubby Boy never fails to deliver effortless flows, and his performance on Oh So Real is no exception. His bars are packed full of wit, metaphors and references, the whole time consciously raising the underlying point of the song. That's when the one and only Telboy takes the mic, full of soul and authentic style, to lyrically develop the theme and perfectly summarize the plot with his unforgettable hook. His performance is again, another great example of Telboy's songwriting versatility and natural raw ability.

On remix duty we have a dancefloor destroyer by Gangski. This badboy producer from Poland had huge success in South Africa with his Davies Twins remix. This time around he cleverly reworks edits of Telboy's vocals, inventing a brand new hook over a banging, almost wobbly but absolutely unforgettable thumper.

LEKS Returns To Music And Is Doing 'AMAZING' Things!

Oleksiy Poplavko-Dercksen, best known as LEKS is back with a bang! An upcoming unsigned EDM producer who has teamed up with vocalist Sasha Kay to release his first track after being absent from the music industry for a period of time. 'AMAZING' is a fun and energetic track which will get you bouncing coupled with fantastic vocal clarity. This in turn compliments the lively yet simplistic electro-trance beat, which also has a balanced and well thought out slight retro twist.

'AMAZING' captures the summer music vibe and should be in DJ 'flight cases' around the world. And it's no wonder; LEKS has musical pedigree. Being born into a musical family in Ukraine, he has spent his formative years travelling around Europe before settling in Luxembourg. He has been exposed to a wide array of musical genres from Rock to Hip Hop. After experimenting with different sounds while he studied music production, LEKS has found his niche…EDM. 'AMAZING' is a really welcome entry into the field of electronic music.

Inspired by the likes of Deadmaus, Calvin Harris, DJ Snake and Tiesto, LEKS has successfully created his own unique sound, capturing contemporary electronic music and transforming it into something eclectic. 'AMAZING' is the first release for LEKS but be assured he has much more music on the way, he is also keen to work with other producers and write music for vocal artists, as well as performing live sets.

Sasha Kay has worked her magic with the vocals on 'AMAZING' which gel immediately with the cutting edge track produced by LEKS. Singing since the age of 6, Sasha has performed around Europe and has recorded an EP.
