ECMA East Coast Music Awards Wrap Up & Twitter List

David Myles

My second journey to the East Coast Music Awards in Canada was fantastic. This year I was honored to again join the group of internationals that were invited by the East Coast Music Association to participate in their annual conference and attend the award show.

Hey! Rosetta

The East Coast Music Awards are sort of like the Grammy’s but for the East Coast of Canada and it takes place in a different city each time.  This year it was in Corner Brook Newfoundland.  And again, this year I was astounded by the immense amount of talent that comes from the East Coast of Canada.  There were many, many highlights –  I will let me photos do the rest of my talking.  Here is my link: http://www.flickr.com/arielpublicitypr

Cyber PR For Musicians

On Friday I gave a two-hour presentation on Cyber PR for musicians and taught or Canadian counterparts how social media will become a huge part of how they will be building tribes around themselves in 2009 and beyond.

Because Canadians still buy albums and Canadian radio actually supports up and coming talent they have not been as affected by what has happened in the United States to musicians. The most phenomenal thing of all from my perspective is their government and provinces actually support musicians by helping them with mentoring, advice and (gasp) grants. This is extremely unusual from an American perspective.

And it directly contributes to the fact that only 8 people who were at the ECMAs were on Twitter (before I arrived) I am proud to say I personally signed quite a few bands up to Twitter and I did some sleuth work for our Canadian friends who want to start to use this wonderful and powerful tool to connect on the East Coast of Canada
