Whetever happened to the artist being the artist and the manger or the publisher or the record company doing everything else???  Now the artist has to do all the creating … and the promoting … and the bookings … and the selling … and all the other stuff inbetween – before anyone blinks an eye.

No wonder so many artists are struggling to find time to keep up with all the latest technical and business stuff, as well as stay creative, artistic AND passionate!

Then there’s the exponential world of cyber space … the digital world of networks and software and bewilderment about … WHERE TO START? … How to build a website? Where to build a website? WHICH NETWORKS TO USE? How to rank high up on Google (SEO~WTF)? Which programs actually work? HOW TO BLOG? Get a MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, You Tube they say, but WHICH ONE IS BETTER FOR ARTISTS??? Make a video… record an album… get airplay… sell albums… go viral… get friends… hits… plays… views…. sell more albums!  Get famous!    ahhhhhhh!

Enter Mykee and Johnnie Mac… we play music, we love encouraging creative people, we’re pretty down to earth, we love the grass roots and we’ve done a crazy array of professional jobs within the music and arts industries for over 20 years.

We decided to create RISE to make all the time consuming, tedious stuff …                       – EASY TO UNDERSTAND and QUICK TO IMPLEMENT.

Artists who participate in a RISE workshop WALK AWAY KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT TO DO … Where to start … WHAT WORKSWHAT DOESN’T. Which latest and greatest internet widgets will do the jobs of the PR chic, the ever persistent, hard working manager, the publisher or the record company AND how to GET THESE TIME SAVING TOOLS IN-PLACE AND WORKING THE VERY SAME DAY.

If you’re feeling a bit stuck, confused about what to do next or disheartened because you’re NOT ACHIEVING THE SUCCESS YOU WANT RIGHT NOW.  If you’ve fallen into the trap of ‘Waiting To Be Discovered’ and THE STRUGGLE IS GETTING YOU DOWN, then maybe FINDING THIS WEBSITE IS PERFECT TIMING FOR YOU.

RISE shows artists HOW TO GET THINGS HAPPENING NICE AND QUICK! How to use the internet to attract an INTERNATIONAL FOLLOWING ALMOST IMMEDIATELY …  Rather than waiting years for the deal to come along.

So now its up to you… either stick with the ‘same old, same old’ for years on end, or START MOVING IN THE DIRECTION YOU’VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF. If you want to know what to put on your website, What to do with keywords, How to use social networks more effectively, How to generate more fans without touring, HOW TO SCORE BETTER GIGS, How To Create more income and so much more you’ll have to check out The Program for the full rundown … then YOU’VE STUMBLED ACROSS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY!

And don’t just take our word for it, have a look around the website and check out the testimonials to get feedback from others who have attended a RISE workshop.

At the end of the day… when all is said and done… whatever  you choose to do….

PS Thank You Green Day! for the perfect lyrics :-)
