FiV Music Business Services is founded and run by me, Hubert Sawyers III. I am a Digital Media Enthusiast, who after many forays into Music Making, Music Production and Music Marketing found a need for an objective long-term Music Industry Marketing resource. Whether you are a new artist, an up-and-coming producer or you've been around for years and are adjusting to the new ways that music-heads find artists, I would like to help you manage your music business affairs better.
You might remember my feature on Detroit’s V Count Macula and his visually-stunning video for “Smooth Wizardz.”
Well, the man has come back with a follow-up to his debut with “So Damn Busy,” conceived and directed by V Count and his brother. I won’t spend a lot of time writing. Let’s just get to the video, shall we?
Post-industrial-pre-resurgence Detroit meets Clockwork Orange. If you like this, please share. This gem has been on Youtube since SEPTEMBER and it only has 150 views. My marketing brain has some thoughts on this, but consider this my way of doing what I can to help some talented folks.
The group is Blackreign and Ohkang, featuring O’Nasty as a guest. They are from Detroit, MI, where a lot of great music is made that does not get heard by the mainstream populace. I swear it is not bias either. Save a talent with a retweet or a Facebook update!
Saw a tweet from my favorite urban tastemaker magazine, The Fader, about this video and I had to check it out.
My first listen to Zomby was on a mix curated by Your Brutha brub, who is someone that should be on your radar if he isn’t already. He is definitely the most organized dude when it comes to his social media interaction AND he still uses MySpace faithfully.
I usually want to have a ton to added info, but I got some bigger things coming up for the site. Enjoy the trippy visuals and the Zomby sounds. If you like what you hear, dig deeper and search his catalogue.
The lovely backdrop on this site was provided by graphic designer Andrea Williams of &rea Designs of Detroit, MI. She is accepting inquiries, including music-related work.
