EDM4MUSIC HAVE ARRIVED!
This time last year EDM4MUSIC did not exist! Songwriter Sally Edmondson had set up Every Day Music Publishing as a vehicle to promote her own songs and had just met Jaime Boylan. Jaime had returned to Jersey having graduated, top of her class from the top of her class, from The Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford. Jaime went on to record some of Sally’s songs and March 2006 Sally was promoting Jaime singing her songs and HMV Jersey was selling Jaime’s CD.
By April 2006 Sally seemed to be attracting other bands, artists and songwriters all wanting to be heard and EDM4MUSIC had arrived! EDM now promote artistes from Jersey, London, Derby, The Algarve, Australia and now The Cameroons with the addition of the young band Elexir who are writing their own material.
“My original thinking behind creating EDM4MUSIC was to promote Jersey’s young, emerging talent with Jaime and Off Limits in mind, but without advertising we are now promoting 13 artists/bands and 2 songwriters”. Said Sally.
In December 2006 EDM released their first compilation album Listen To Your Heart featuring all their artists except Jersey’s talented One, Two, Fours and Elixir who joined them after the album had been completed. £1 per sale of this CD is being donated to Channel 103’s Help a Jersey Child charity. Recording the CD was ‘a breeze!’ according to Sally, but getting it reproduced and shipped to Jersey proved to be somewhat of a nightmare as things were delayed because the factory was moving premises. So a couple of last minute promotion gigs were thrown together at The Blue Note Bar, Jersey, UK on the 16th/17th December 2006 where notable performances were given by both Jaime and Off Limits.
Sally’s objective now is twofold to promote her young artists to record companies and to find regular work for many of them. The Jersey artists available are Jaime Boylan (Pop), Off Limits (Indie), the One, Two, Fours (Mod/Punk), Brian Cadoret (Acoustic) and Nikki Marett-Gregory Jazz/Swing) and you can find out more about them at www.edm4music.co.uk.
