"Ever since the New York Songwriters Circle competition, doors have been opening for me in every avenue – bookings, press, festivals, even a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship to take my harp around the world for a year collecting stories from other independent musicians!  All it takes in this business is for one person to stand behind you and say, “this artist is doing something worthwhile,” for others to listen-up; the New York Songwriters Circle stood up.”

– Gillian Grassie, harpist/singer-songwriter

I receive many questions from up and coming singer/songwriters/performers about how to go about recording, choosing a producer etc ....

Thought this may be beneficial to others as well...
