update - BBC radio 1 and MTV playground feature my single!

[Jellymonster]

Hey guys and gals,

Just thought you'd like to know, Rob Da Bank will be playing my single The Cloud this weekend on his radio 1 show which is excellent news at this early stage.

Also, MTV playground have featured The Cloud and myself on their website. If you go to the page and click on my ugly mug... you can give the tracks a thumbs up which may prompt MTV to do more with me

Here is the link:

If you haven't seen the video for the single yet (which is out on Monday 4th October), you can watch it here:

good stuff

out of interest have you gone about doing anything about giving your music away for free on the internet?

[bigandclever]

I quite like that. Did the thumbs up thing, good luck with it.

[haggy]

Good effort

[Jellymonster]

thanks guys... the more thumbs up the better! MTV are deciding whether to air my video on their channels in a meeting tomorrow, fingers crossed eh?

oh and yes, i'll be giving away some songs online for free... but the album and single will cost. i need to earn an income you see!

You're on my Sonos system via Napster. Do you know how you get paid for it?

[SeeFive]

Another thumb up here. How did you get to be on the Playground? Is it just a case of sending stuff in and them selecting it, or is there another process?

Good luck with it.

What is sonos? Is it a bit like Spotify?

Oh and with MTV playground, you have to create a profile on their site... and they view all new members and if they like it, they feature it.

Sonos is a wireless music streaming system that takes content from Napster and Last .fm

Just wondered how Napster pay you!

[Jellymonster]

Well, if you download a track from napster legally, they take their cut and the rest of the money gets sent to our digital aggregator who then forwards the cash to my label. If it is an online royalty from being streamed, you get a small royalty via PPL.... but it is a very VERY small royalty ha.

Really quite liked that! Done the thumbs up thing!
