Artist Development

To make a finished record truly represents a culmination of artistic achievement, yet many artists struggle to envision beyond this point. In the broader landscape of an artist's development, the record is but one landmark. To achieve commercial success in this competitive industry, artists need a home base and a network that connects them to the larger industry, giving them the exposure and connections that are appropriate to their needs and development.

Ben Krames has 15+ years of experience working, creating and performing at all tiers of the music industry, and a holistic understanding of what it takes to be successful. Performing with countless bands both locally and internationally (see bio for a full resume) and producing multiple full-length albums, film scores and ad jingles has given him vast experience with live and studio applications, management, booking, and marketing. His technical training allows the artist not to be a victim of media, but rather to create the media for one's own representation and effective distribution; CD's DVD's and graphics are one aspect, and utilizing the ever-evolving technology of distribution to reach one's audience via the internet is another.
