Mieka Dovey's the name and singing's the game!
Over the past year I've been writing/recording an EP, which after it's completion, I intend to send to several major record labels in hopes to get a record deal! Nobody wants just 4 nice songs to listen to, they want to see the artist in action and really find out if they've got that 'star quality.' They way to really grab their attention is by creating an EPK (Electronic Press Kit) which is basically a video synopsis of me and the music I create!
I've dedicated a LOT of time and money towards my EP, making sure that the music is great and that it's the best quality possible. Unfortunately, after devoting so much to the actual music-making, there's nothing left over to promote this wonderful music... and promotion is one of the most important parts of this whole journey!
I know a lot of people who have expressed a desire to help me on my road to becoming a recording artist and have been limited because of distance and time. THIS is how you can help me, and trust me, every little bit helps tremendously!
I create music for you all because I love you all and I want you all to know that you are appreciated. I sing of experiences in hopes to either teach you a lesson or to shine a little light on your world. I can only give so much though and sometimes I need to be reminded of why I'm doing this. This is how you can remind me... Much love to you!
