Uk Live Sessions - JOELLE MOSES

It is fair to say that its pretty hard not to notice the outstanding soulful talent that is Joelle Moses. At the tender age of seven, Joelle stood up on top of a chair and sang her little heart out for the first time in front of an astonished congregation at her Mother's church. It was then that this sassy little miss discovered her destiny. These early roots in gospel singing gave Joelle the platform to showcase her extraordinary power, range and deep connection with an audience through music that has marked her out in the industry.

Growing up in a non musical family the passionate West Londoner continued to hone her craft writing, performing and singing to anyone that would listen. With her mind firmly set on becoming one of the UK’s best singer / composers, Joelle left college after her AS levels to not only follow her dream but to embark on becoming a true force of nature. She gained valuable experience by singing the guide tracks, demos and backing vocals for international super stars artistes including Kylie Minogue, Leona Lewis, Toni 

andRihanna and Gabriella Chilmi.

It is fair to say that its pretty hard not to notice the outstanding soulful talent that is Joelle Moses. At the tender age of seven, Joelle stood up on top of a chair and sang her little heart out for the first time in front of an astonished congregation at her Mother's church. It was then that this sassy little miss discovered her destiny. These early roots in gospel singing gave Joelle the platform to showcase her extraordinary power, range and deep connection with an audience through music that has marked her out in the industry.

Despite her increasingly busy schedule in the studio and on-stage, Joelle never gave up her desire to acquire further knowledge and she attends Europe's finest school of modern music, The Institute of Contemporary Performance. It’s hard to equate the charismatic diva-in-the-making and her mesmerising, explosive, on-stage presence with the 20 year old student. But they are both Joelle Moses.

Her rise has been unstoppable, driven by Joelle’s prodigious God given talent as a singer and songwriter. With the guiding help of her committed management team, Joelle has been developing her skills, experimenting with new sounds and teaming up with some of the most successful and highly regarded writers in the industry. Joelle started writing songs when she was just twelve and now at 20. She already written over 270 songs and has a superb catalogue of material ready-demoed and waiting to be unleashed later in 2011.
Key industry figures have appreciated Joelle’s skills as a writer /performer and she is currently working with legendary Swedish writer / producer Jorgen Elofsson (the man behind many of the biggest hits of Britney Spears, Jenifer Lopez, Kelly Clarkson, Westlife, Celine Dion and Leona Lewis). The writing collaboration has produced extraordinary world-class tracks perfectly suited to Joelle’s outstanding vocal talent. Other current collaborations include Tokio (Mr Hudson, Kanye West, Paolo Nutini, Groove Armada), Fred Ball (KT Tunstall, JLS, Pixie Lott), K-Gee (Jessie J, The Sugababes, Alesha Dixon) and Pete Craigie (Take That, Alicia Keys).

Picture a young Whitney, add the fiery performances of a young Tina Turner, mix in the irresistible hooks of Donna Summer and that is only but a snippet of the glamorous Joelle. Once you’ve experienced the vocal adrenaline that is Joelle, you will leave you wanting to hear more. Ask the 10,000-strong nightly crowd she captivated for weeks in Germany, or the 20,000 audience at the O2 Arena

How to create a website for artists in the music business

The primary reason for artists, particularly up-and coming acts, to invest the time, energy, and a modest amount of money into a quality website is that the internet provides a worldwide audience for their music. In addition a strong website can serve as a cheaper alternative to a traditional press kit. While virtually all major recording artists now use the internet as a vehicule to nurture their fan base, a strong web presence can lend credibility to a new artist's profile. Serving at advertisement, distribution outlet and information ressource all at once.
One of the principle reason to build a website for an artist is to announce and share information about up coming performances and tours. A website should include this information in the home page or provide a prominent link in the home page to separate web page containing updated information.
The artist should learn at least enough computer code to be able to delete old events and add new concerts so the website is always up to date.
Sales of music through the net has become  an important source of incremental income for many indies artists. With the advent of online music stores such CD baby and i tunes, purchasing music online has become a common practice for consumer under a certain age.
What need to be bring to the table.
They are three essentials forms of content that an artist need to furnish to create a website.
They are : Bio, high quality photo and at least several high quality samples of your music. This item has traditionally constituted a basic press package that managers and agents use for package promotion, to get clubs deal and records deals. They are also the core of a good website. Other essential items are tour schedules and email sign in for guests. Aditionnal materials, such as digital video files of performances and links to article press add 'flavor'.
Build up and use an email list.
The emails sign up should be easy to use and without asking to many informations. To encourage fans to sign up for their emails list, some band offers incentives in their website. For instance, rewards a guest by early notice of a concert or discount on a cd.
The navigation need to be simple and very well anderstood. they need to be able to get what they want in no more than 4 clicks. you have to put hierarchy on them, between what you want them to do and what they have to do in order to get what you want.
For instance : do you want them to listen a sample of your music withing 4 clicks ?
That probably the first thing they would do. they will try to figure out how to listen your music and we have to let them hear it before 4 clicks. The second things there are going to do is to find out where the artist is playing. If they like what they hear they are going to find out if they can experience the artist's live.
The next things we want them to do - which is not something they are going to do very easily is to register for your email list. That is the first things to accomplish before they leave the site. That's probably the hardest thing to do.Some artists add "pop up" in their website which could be a good strategy to encourage fans to buy your album or sign up.
