Greetings: I'm a digital media producer and I manage internet media content for businesses and artist's. Your myspace site came up on one of my clients page and i heard your voice and it blew me away. I've been listening to your music samples on your website all day. I have posted your link on our homepage and have shared it it with all my friends will follow up with a phone call. Thank you for sharing your gift!


Carol Merrill
I was at the Jack & Jill event this past Saturday in Oak Park. I thought that you were wonderful and wanted to know how I could find out about future concerts open to the public. I would love to hear you again.


Vicki Sidley
Hi Michele,
I am in awe of your voice and musicality...the sensitivity that controls the underlying power. I' discovered you quite by accident looking for renditions of "I'll Take Romance" on iTunes. Having found your website, your voice has accompanied me solidlly for the past two weeks. The songs are in my head even when I'm not at the computer. I've ordered your latest album, and look forward to the next.


Michael Cristol
Hi Michelle and Daren,
Stumbled across your web-site; the Stevie Wondr song sounds great. Best Wishes mc

Michael Sutton
I hope you don't mind me e-mailing you.
My name is Michael Sutton, and I am a publicist &
radio promoter based in Tacoma, Washington. I visited
your website. I was wondering if you were interested
in hiring my services. Yes, I realize that you've
probably been receiving a number of offers like this.
I only ask that you please take a few minutes to read
this to see if there's anything I can do which might
interest you.....


I got one of my current clients, the unsigned Mono In
VCF, added to the powerful KEXP-FM (connected to Paul
Allen of Microsoft) in Seattle, a station with more
than 80,000 listeners. As you can see with these
links, I am well connected with the music industry,
and I can help you generate more exposure....

Since I'm a journalist as well, I can even write about
you myself and have it published in prominent media
outlets. I have two First Place awards from the
Washington Press Association and one First Place award
from the Greater Northwest Journalism Awards.

All of the work I do will be documented; in other
words, you will receive a list of every radio
programmer or newspaper editor that I promoted you to
during that month, including the dates in which I did
them. In addition, if made available to me (and most
of the time they are), I’ll include copies of radio
broadcasts that have played your CD and feature
articles about you.

My fees are quite small compared to the competition,
and I will answer all of your questions. You don't
have to commit to a long-term campaign; if a one-month
package is all you are searching for, then that is
perfectly acceptable. I'm easily accessible, always in
contact, and I like working closely with artists so
that we are on the same page. I have wide-ranging
musical tastes -- everything from jazz to rock to
country to folk to Contemporary Christian -- and my
connections in the industry cover similarly open
ground. References available upon request.

What do you think? What are you looking for in terms
of exposure right now? Please let me know. I'll answer
all questions that you have. If you're interested in
my services and you'd like to talk with me over the
phone, please e-mail me your contact information and a
good day & time to call. Thank you for your time.

Here's more information about me:

If you give me an adress of where I can send one too, I'll send you a free copy. Maybe I could have you sing some gigs with me? I'm playing tonight (Thursday August 24th) at the Chicago Firehouse Restaurant with Bob Levecchio, Aaron Koppel, and Keith Brooks from 6:00-9:00pm. If your not busy, come by and listen. Maybe you could even sit in and sing a song or two. Your CD sounds great, you've got quite a band playing with you! Let me know if your interested in playing together sometime. Let me know when and where you are playing next with Ted/Darren/Scott/Bob, I'm interested in hearing you play. Keep tearin it up!

Paul R. Bertelsen
Good Day:


I, along with a small group, is starting up an Internet Radio Station, and I found you and listened to a song off of: Indie-Music.com. I really do like the song that I listened to, and am very interested in discussing with you on the possibility of playing your music on our station. The name of the station is called The Cove Radio. Website is current being built, which is: www.thecoveradio.com.

Thanks for your time.

Respectfully,


Paul R. Bertelsen



Karen Horton
Hi Michele: After viewing your website I can honestly say that you have been blessed with the gift of song. I am so encouraged by your bio. A Ministers daughter my self I'm also blessed with the gift to sing but, have grew up too shy to use it. People to this day literally beg me to sing for them. I don't brag on the talent God has blessed me with because I know it's no goodness of my own. You have really sparked the fire inside of me and I pray that one day God will also give me the same boldness he has given you. Be Blessed!
