Bullz-Eye.com is one of the largest online entertainment magazines, with tons of coverage focusing on music, movies, TV, sports, sexy models, pop culture and much more.  www.bullzeye.com


TAXI
is the world’s leading independent A&R company, and its success stories keep mounting, including the latest—member Dean Krippaehne’s hit song that is climbing the Billboard European Top 100.  Dean’s publishing deal that helped land him a song on Universal recording artist Stefanie Heinzmann’s new album was facilitated by TAXI.  www.taxi.com

 

Finally, a little bit of shameless self-promotion.  The song I wrote with Jason Vigil and Zack Nichols, “Play Ball,” is not yet available on iTunes and other download sites as I reported last month.  But if you’d like to stream it, here is a link.  Please let me know what you think!
