Do you feel you have what it takes to be a successful recording artist if someone would just give you half a chance?

The truth is, if you are just sitting around waiting for it to happen more than likely it won't. Successful stars that are out there had a burning desire to succeed, made their own opportunities, invested in themselves and went out and grabbed success. They didn't sit idly by waiting for it to come to them.

So what about you? Do you have the burning desire, the drive and the courage to take control and pursue your dreams? If so, Studio Joe Productions can help you get there.


Record companies are looking for artists with original music. It’s next to impossible to get a record deal singing cover songs.
Record companies look for originality. A complete package, songs, sound, look, attitude, personality and professionalism. This is all very important and together we can make that happen. Record companies like to sign artists that don’t need a great deal of refinement. Studio Joe Productions provides the refining record companies are looking for!

Together we will sit down and discuss the direction you would like your career to head. We will brain storm ideas that you might have and how I can elaborate on them. I will play multiple sound beds for you to get a basic idea of the sound you are looking for. This is a good way to get a foundation of what you would like to do if you are a singer and not a writer. If you already have lyrics and a melody line, I will strum out basic chords to match the notes and timing. That will give me the template to compose, arrange and produce your song.

I will design your fully functioning web site (www.YourName.com) with pictures, graphics, logo, CD quality streaming audio, calendar and even your very own on-line store selling promotional items (Shirts, Hats, Shorts, Posters, etc.) You will collect money without having to buy inventory or ship the items yourself. You can even sell your CD from your site and other sites. Your CD can be available on-line without having to mass-produce it also. Each CD will be pressed, assembled, shrunk warped and shipped to your fans per order. The Product is absolutely retail quality and it's a precise way to monitor sales. This is a great way to get major label attention.

This is not "Band in a Box" or any other cheesy, type in your cord patterns and go type of thing. This is not an assembly line process. These are real one-on-one song writing and recording sessions, web site and logo designs. You choose the products you want to sell in your on-line store. Most of all you have total creative control. Ultimately, You are the boss and I play the role as a mentor, coach, partner, and friend on your road to a successful, professional music career.

Promo shots can be done in-house for the web site, or I can use any promotional shots you may already have.
You will have a complete virtual album with CD quality streaming audio with optional downloads including an album cover with plenty of pictures, graphics, liner notes, special thanks and lyrics page. This is a great way to shop your project to record companies without the production cost of mass-producing your CD. Also without an entertainment attorney on your side an A&R guy will probably throw it in the trash without even listening to it.
Top quality original demo & web page that record companies take seriously!
I only work with one client at a time to insure 100% focus on your project.
Have your music on web sites that millions go to every day such as mp3.com and eMusic.com. Have those sites link back to your web site for more traffic to your page.
Internet Radio is another option to put your music out there and be listened to. There are on-line radio stations that allow you to post your songs or an entire CD on their site to be listened to by people around the world. This is also a great avenue to link your web site so you can sell your CD to someone that likes your song in Hong Kong or anywhere in the world for that matter. Some of these stations actually have weekly charts, and listeners can vote on the top 10 or top 20 songs for each week. The more attention your music gets the better your music career becomes.
You will become a member of organizations such as ASCAP and BMI
You will also become a member of Taxi. Taxi is the leading independent A&R company.
Record companies, publishers, and music supervisors call Taxi directly to find new artists and bands to sign. They also call to find hit songs, instrumentals and tracks for TV and film placements.
We can work via Internet and telephone as much as possible until recording takes place. There is a lot of pre-production and post-production that takes place with every project. I will work around your schedule. I will also e-mail updated tracks and info every few days. I will work with you one-on-one until your project is complete
At the end of the project a showcase will be set up at one of New Orleans premier music clubs with media to review and local record companies attending. A TV appearance will also be scheduled on a New Orleans morning show. It's a perfect way to get some video shot of your performance.
If you have lyrics, I can work with that.
If you have lyrics and melody, I can work with that.
If you are just a singer and don't write at all, I can work with you also.

Riding Hurricane Katrina out in the city of New Orleans was an experience. As we all are recovering from such a devastation, recovery is on it's way. People often say they want to leave out of frustration but soon find out there is no place like the great city of New Orleans. This song is dedicated to all who are sticking it out. "We are the ones" true New Orleanians! ..............Joe Trapani
