Yeah, I know John. Like I said he has been involved with JPF since the 90's. He used to post here even at one time, but then things exploded for him. He took over the mantle for John Braheny in terms of educating, and we picked up the community stuff. Really nice guy.

He looks rather young in the photo. May be an old photo. John

He's likely 5-10 years older than me or more.

I have read Jason's articles before, and they are always very informative. I agree that in todays digital world licensing is a good source of income. Especially since most album cuts have to be written with either the artist or producer anymore. I have several songs with Crucial Music and keep submitting more and more. Their screening process is tough, but it has proved to be a good company to work with. The hardest hurdle for me is not having instrumental tracks on most of my older demos. I don't know if they would accept a song without them. Thanks John for posting this buddy! Great article!

I got a pretty funny text from Jason yesterday. Recently I have put some "Suggestions for recording" on the Internet on some forums I am involved with. Part of that was facebook. Jason texted me to let me know he was almost finished with an article he is writing for the BMI newsletter and about half of them were pretty much exactly what I had said. he wanted me to know that he hadn't "stolen anything from me." He said "I might steal songs, but not articles, lol!"
Very nice guy and one of the most knowledegable in this business.

I am looking to get in to internships. Part of that outside of voice overdubs is soundtrack stuff. This may be out of what I am doing with this topic, yet the people more prominent in the market got their start from somewhere. I would like all the opinions I could get for what I do in TV and radio.

Matt,
Do you mean "how to compose" for that business or "how to get a job" in that business? If you want to learn film scoring, for example, there are many fine music schools that offer complete degrees in that, If you want to be an intern, often that means being a copyist which requires high competency in compositional theory, music writing/reading, writing for each instrument (charts and beyond) and so on.
I could go on, but I don't really understand your question?
