Hi. My name is David Hooper and I'm a music promotion consultant and author based out of Nashville. You may have read my book, "How I Make $100,000/year in the Music Business (Without a Record Label, Manager, or Booking Agent)" or attended my music business conference, 2NMC"

but how is it working for ME??
it's not working for ME

"Most free information is being given away because it's not worth paying for."
BS!
there is a ton of great information out there FOR FREE and people like you want us the artist to think you have some all knowing knowledge..?!
BS this FREE info can't help....
I have just started what I am creating through INDIE INTRUSION
the I-AIM project is creating a movement to create it's OWN INDIE INDUSTRY!!
I don't agree with the record industry standards nor how the fine print reads for the most part and getting someone a record deal is NOT all it's cracked up to be.. so yeah..
I am not focused on INDUSTRY..... I'm focused on RAISING INDIE MUSIC to INDTRUDE on this so called elete record industry as we know it!
