So, you probably all know by now that Derek Sivers decided to sell CD Baby to Disc Makers. It seemed that many indie artists were a bit alarmed by this, but if you read about it on Derek’s blog, you’ll see that he hardly has been at CD Baby since ‘02. So, there obviously was - and still is - a great team there to help all of us indies out.


So, no worries - CD Baby should continue to thrive under the direction of Tony Van Veen and Disc Makers. Derek is moving on to other things, you can check them out here.

If you’re on Pandora, or are thinking about it, you should watch these series of interviews by Sarah Lacy with co-founder Tim Westergen…

OK…so this video doesn’t seem to have much in common with the usual music idea - but it’s got a quirky soundtrack that fits the ambitious, crazy, can’t-stop-watching animation that’s going on. Fantastic and crazy all at once.

So…I’m finally entering the world of blog. I plan to blog not only about my music, but about anything related to music (my thoughts on the independent music business, other music I enjoy, etc.) as well. And I’m sure I’ll have an occasional post that has nothing to do with music. Hey, I can blog about whatever I like, right?

For those of you who don’t know about me or my music, you should probably read my bio to get a little more background about me. In short, I’m an independent music artist who composes instrumental music - some of it is uptempo and very electronic-sounding, some of it is downtempo and chilled out, and some of it falls into the new age genre. I enjoy composing instrumental tracks because I’ve got the freedom to work with most any genre (plus, I can’t sing ). I’ve released 8 CDs at this point, and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. I’ve even put out a couple holiday discs in recent years, which are great fun.

Well, that’s enough for an initial post. Feel free to check out the playlist to the right…and often as I might change it up from time to time. If you’d like to see/hear more about me, you can always go to my home away from home, http://www.kevoz.com/.
