| 7th Annual Hollywood Reporter/Billboard Film & TV Music Conference |
|
On
November 13th and 14th, we sent A&R Director Jershi
Lin to attend the 7th Annual Hollywood Reporter/Billboard Film &
TV Music Conference at the Sofitel in Los Angeles. While there, he rubbed
elbows with hundreds of industry experts who shared their stories of success
and insider information.
Lin spent both days of the
conference attending various panels and workshops hosted by successful industry
players such as award-winning songwriter Diane Warren (also the recipient of the
first-ever Hollywood Reporter and Billboard Film & TV Music Career Achievement
Award), Gossip Girl Executive
Producer Josh Schwartz, Fox Music President Robert Kraft, critically-acclaimed
Producer/Director Darren Aronofsky, Composer Paul Haslinger and many others.
The event also gave our company a
chance to promote itself to hundreds of promoters, directors, producers, etc.
in one convenient location.

For those of you musicians reading this who have yet to sign up with us, allow us to provide you with another incentive.
As of December 1, American Airlines
will be providing in-flight entertainment courtesy of Hitt Music Group to
all its passengers via a satellite radio channel hosted by PASTE Magazine.
"The Paste Beat" is a two hour block of new music that plays on
endless loop. Each monthly episode will feature a 20-minute block of
music from selected Hitt Music Group members. Additionally, each performer
will have his name, song and photo appear in that month's issue of
PASTE as well as a listing in On American Airlines, American Airlines official in-flight magazine.
Here's
an equation for all the visual learners out there: 4.5 million AA
customers a month x 3 million PASTE readers = $. That's exposure you
can't buy anywhere else!

| SXSW 2009 HERE WE COME! |
|
A little over a half a year has gone by since South By SouthWest 2008, yet
we're already preparing for SXSW 2009. This will be our second year and
we are already hell of such as excited.
This past event was
amazing but was also a huge learning experience. We were invited at the
last minute and had to pull off everything by the skin of our teeth. We
had half the resources and one-third the staff we do today, forcing us
to "MacGyver" through tons of situations. Did we mention we were in the
middle of relocating our offices during that time as well?
Next year will be different. We're planning on doing lots of things
that will tie into our blog as well as our webpage. Expect to see lots
of photos, video interviews and other blog stuff as well as a few
surprises.

| Award winning Composer Paul Spaeth joins Hitt Music |
|
Paul Spaeth's captivating artistry has inspired admiration from a large
and diverse audience. At MP3.com, upon reaching over 1.6 million
downloads, Paul Spaeth was recognized as the Top Artist in L.A. and -
for months - remained in the Top-Ten of Amazon's download charts.
Evidence
of his wide-ranging musical appeal began with winning the
Pepsi-Summerfest Talent Search at age 15; as a solo pianist competing
against rock bands. A year later, his first orchestral piece would
premiere. Since then, mentors such as Morten Lauridsen and film
composer Christopher Young (The Shipping News, Spiderman 3) have
praised Spaeth for his innate talent and rare melodic sensitivity.
Spaeth
rides the lines between silver screen, stage, and concert hall with
resounding success. His work in cinema has premiered at such
presetigious film festivals as Toronto, Monaco, Naples, and Montreal.
His award-winning concert works have been recorded by some of the
leading artists of his generation. And in 2003, after attracting
attention from top producers and multi-platinum songwriters, he won the
Recording Academy's Grammy Scholarship Award.
Paul Spaeth
attributes success to his philosophy of the "numinous experience in
music." A listener explains: "The subtleties strike us honestly,
driving to the core of who and what we are."
