Ituneyouin.com is a company that focuses on assisting new talent. I Tune You In’s main objective and focus is to bring the entertainment industry to its network of members, which is made up of Producers, Musicians, Singers, Actors, Songwriters, Poets, Models and an array of many other types of entertainment entities.
While having a great place to network and socialize, members will have their profiles viewed by real entertainment companies. This strategy will give the artist more time to focus on building their fan base, work on creating new material, and getting more promotional work done.
Members of Ituneyouin.com will be given the opportunity to have their material solicited. This gives their work credibility. An entertainment company will not accept any material by an unsigned individual, unless it comes from an entertainment lawyer, or someone who has the right to do so. Such as an agent or publishing company.
Another great move by the Ituneyouin.com was teaming up with ‘’The Music Industry Promotions’’ (www.themusicip.com) a very well known established A&R company with a very successful track record. Having them on board will help Ituneyouin members with having their material ‘shopped’ directly to entertainment entities such as TV networks, Film, Advertisers, record companies and agencies.
The difference between Ituneyouin.com and the many other unsigned websites, is the fact the Ituneyouin.com is owned and operated by an Industry A&R, Mr. R. Massenburg. Mr. Massenburg and his staff do something that no other website does; they communicate with their members, and give them access to contact them at anytime. Mr. Massenburg and his staff know the entertainment business, and they know that an artist cannot be successful in an environment saturated with things that strays from their work. The artists and their work have to be the main priority. In order for an artist to be taken seriously by any entertainment entity, an artist must be in an environment conducive promoting their art and not amongst anything that differs.
Unlike the barrage of other unsigned artist websites, where you put up a profile and it just sits there into space, without any kind of actual communication from anyone of significance in the industry searching for talent, ituneyouin.com, is the place where an artist can now have invited A&R executives come take a look and listen to there work. Everyone now has an equal opportunity, without being disturbed by tons of advertisement and BS videos. Once an artist shows credibility, assistance will be available.
We do hope that your time being with us will become fruitful, and at some point very successful.
I am the owner, CEO, creator, A&R executive and an established BMI songwriter.
My journey began as a young aspiring artist just as most of you. Born and raised in the beautiful islands of Trinidad and Tobago. I came from a family of very talented Musician’s and builders, which includes, Machel Montano, the biggest soca artist of all time. I had great expectation for myself, and have worked very hard to get to where I wanted to be as an artist. Along this tedious road, I’ve came across many obstacles. Some were easy to deal with, and then on other occasions, there were very discouraging times. At times I felt like giving up, well to be honest, I felt like giving up most of the time, but my determination and competitive nature prevented me from doing so.
Staying focus and being consistent paid off for me, at a time where most struggling artist were still being turned away, and some of them; well….. they just simply gave up. I was offered my first recording contract at the age of 17, along with two of my younger brothers. At the time, we were the group “Black Ambition”. We were very excited about getting a record deal, and immediately we started making plans about our future endeavors. However, being the thinker that I am by nature, I decided that I wanted to know more about the Music Industry. This opportunity did not present itself in my country of origin, so I decided to venture out to the United States, where almost every opportunity to expand my knowledge, was at my finger tips. I soon connected with another cousin of mine who managed a Major artist at Universal/ Motown records. I explained to him what my intentions were, and he obliged to assist me. Working with him allowed me to meet with most of the executives at the Major record labels and other entertainment companies. I soon found myself wanting to know even more. I wanted to know about how an artist gets chosen, and why some of them do not. Well, to my surprise, I was amazed of how much politics were involved in choosing an artist. I’ve seen so many artists get turned away from obtaining a record deal. Not for being incapable, but for not having the right connections, or not knowing the right person at that label. This has been the case for years. I became an A&R, and had the opportunity to have worked with some of the top recording artist to date. I took advice from artist as well as executives like Max Siegel, Michael Bivins, Chico Debarge, El debarge, Matthew Knowles, Micha Stampley, Kedar Massenburg, Joe, Erykah Badu, and many more. I then felt like something was needed to be put into place for the unsigned, so they can have a fair chance of being seen and heard without interruption. This is why I’ve created ituneyouin.com.
I encourage all the members of ituneyouin.com to stay focused, stay abreast of industry updates and never ever give up!
