Under Major Construction

Dear Readers and Artists of Rising Artists International,

I am both sorry and pleased to announce that RAI is going through a major reconstruction.  While the basic online promotion that I offered through this blog was nice, it has only a very small chance of helping you, the artist reach your musical goals and aspirations.

For those of you that do not know, my name is Dave Leek.  I currently go to Rowan University for Radio/TV/Film production and very well might double major in Advertising by next year.  I produce my own music and DJ for any event that will let do it.  I love music and I love sound.  I will be done college in a little less then 3 years.  After that my plans are a little unclear, but my goals are very clear.

My Goals:

-Establish Rising Artists International as the leading Music Promotions Company in the world

-Release a few Albums featuring my own music and remixes

-Create the largest free music production website and organization in the world

-Host a yearly concert featuring myself and many other talented musicians and bands that will get bigger each year.

My schedule now allows approximately 5 minutes a day to dedicate to RAI.  I hope to one day make it my life.  But right now life is moving too fast.  Don't worry, RAI will be back shortly, and better then ever.

Sincerely,

Dave L.

Keith Andrew Small - Connected

- Keith Andrew Small
- Artist Type: Producer, Recording Artist, Singer, Lyricsit
- Main Genre: Acoustic Rock
- Main Website: http://www.pumangarine.co.uk/

Bio / Description:

- I have been a member in 12 different bands over the space of about 15 years and have gigged the UK top to bottom. My musical experiences have included working with Miles Hunt of the Wonderstuff and playing venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and the London Astoria. I write my own music and lyrics, sing lead and backing vocals, play acoustic 6 & 12 string, electric lead and rhythm, bass, and keyboards and piano as well as producing and mixing. During my career I have been involved in creating a wide spectrum of music genres from Rock, Indie, Pop, heavy metal to relaxation music and instrumentals (Feel good/Romantic/Powerful/Emotional) etc. However, the closest to my heart is creating acoustic based songs. I currently have a running website www.pumangarine.co.uk to promote my music world wide. I am looking to move into the music industry on a full time basis as this is where I wish to pursue my full time career.



RAI Review:

"Purely great music.  From the voice to the smooth guitar melodies Keith Andrew Small is an amazing preformer.  Every sound is mixed perfectly and the lyrics can speak to everyone.  Keith Andrew Small has  transformed a techno jonkey and got me hooked on acoustic rock!"

An apology

I would like to apologize to all of the connected artists of RAI and those that have been waiting patiently for the last few months to get connected.  My life has been a bit crazy in the aspect of finding time to actually work.  Rising Artists at the moment isn't a real job, but a hobby that I have fallen in love with.  It has been my dream now since last June to make RAI one of the top promotions company in the world.  And now is time for that to happen.  No more broken deadlines, and no more weekly dry spells on blog posts.

While I have been slacking on the business end of the stick, I have more then made up for in the planning ahead end of it.  In the might be near future RAI will open up a customizable merchandise shop for connected artists.  Every band needs its merch!  In the coming weeks also expect frequent twitter updates with awesome little links to free downloads and inside secrets, and even some exclusive artist interviews.  Expect a bi-weekly update for the "Artist Survival Guide" and a new artist every week!  RAI will even offer free account creation for popular music websites like ReverbNation and Last.fm.

This is going to be an exciting rest of forever.  So get ready and hold on!

Lisa Jaeggi - Connected

- Lisa Jaeggi
- Singer, Lyricist
- Main Genre: Folk
- Website: http://www.myspace.com/lisajaeggi

Bio / Description:

- Sweet and soulful, edgy and lyrical, Lisa Jaeggi's amalgam of folk, hip hop, soul and pop expresses a raw power that transcends the mere acoustic guitar accompaniment and sparse production of her songs. A native of Maryland and a Brooklyn transplant, Jaeggi weathers the New York singer-songwriter scene, armed with a well-worn voice and themes that range from melancholy narratives to carefully constructed observations about city life. Drawing from influences like Cat Power, Citizen Cope, and Ray Lamontagne, the 25-year-old has created an original sound that has piqued the interest of New York music-goers, building a strong, underground following at notorious venues such as The Bitter End, Lit Lounge and Rockwood Music Hall.

RAI Review:

"Lisa has an amazing voice and an amazing sound.  I am not normally a big fan of folk style music but Lisa has definitley changed my mind.  Whether you are a folk fan or not I highely recommend checking out her music!  Top quality!"
