THE POWER OF MUSIC

Music gives unity and peace

I have read an article this week in the star online article (March 22 2012)in the Cape Argus section,the article was about one of the most biggest campaign against crime called Shout for a safer place the campaign started in 2007 by artist Danny K and Kabelo Mabelane after the death of a reggae artist was murdered in a carjacking attempt. The campaign sells and market their products so that they can fund projects that can assist prevent crime and remove or eliminate criminal from the society. read more

 

The campaign has recently launched their second new anthem called Your Are The Voice the original song of John Farnhan. The video  was collaborated by:

According to the staff reporter who wrote this article the campaign has helped the Anonymous tip-off services since the launch of shout as the Police has arrested  2 650 criminals form murder to rape.The results of crime have been decreasing ever since and could increase if we work together and stop crime in our country.

The launch has launched a tracker for smartphone available at Android platform to help the police ,ambulance or fire departments to track the numbers that called them to make things easier for them to know where they are going.Acording to police deputy commissioner major general Sharon Jeptha said they also need help of  individuals to participate for campaign to succeed because working together we can achieve  more in preventing crime .read more

It is amazing how our musician can change and safe lives of many people in their country just by singing and being involved in campaigns, projects and being involved in community work  because most of   the people support campaign that have musicians this shows the music industries and musicians are one of the most influential and perceptual source to get people involved.

SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRIES

Times have changed nowadays music publicist have realist that social media is the new social networking strategy, they have adopted the social media because is the fastest communication tool for musicians, record label and publicist to have a successful relationship in communicating with each other.  The introduction of social media is helping musicians in getting record labels unlike old school strategies where they stocked publicist and record label. read more

According to socialmediatoday posted on October 2010“Vashon Patterson realist that social networking was going to be the next big thing in the music industry”, today there social media used proves that it has increased as they are many social media that publicist use but mostly they use sites like:

 

1.    My Space to check out the clients the going to work with because that where they find most talented musicians

2.    Facebook to create a good image for their clients in engaging them to communicate with their clients

3.    Twitter is for their clients to update whatever their doing and plans of music

4.    YouTube to upload their clients favourite video for the audiences that support the clients

different social media used by musicians and music industries

 I think publicist should make an effort in assisting the clients in using this social media simply to create a communications between the musicians and their fans and it helps them to connect with other musician and music industries. According to hypepot.com on 19 January 2012 posted that“2012 will see an increased scrutiny on social media marketing strategies, metrics and results”,the social media helps the musician to keep their fans updated with their events and creates a good relationship between them and their fans. are we familiaries ourselves to social media to keep in touch with our muscians.
