Mountain Filled 4 Projects Mountain Filled 4 Projects

My name is Jerry King, musician, recording and television producer.  As a member of several bands for years, I have traveled and played across the US plus a tour of Germany.  I have shared the stage with too many artists to list here, but my experience is extensive. (Review available on the Independent Release Page at www.America2Broadcasting.com under "The Six Degrees South.)  For six years I was the keyboardist, writer and session producer for the legendary Joe Tex.  As a vital part of his hit records, I had the benefit of learning first-hand the music business from major company executives and personnel which gave me full insight as to the uphill struggle an independent artist/label experiences.  Finding limited access to radio airplay, I converted exposure opportunities by producing a television show, Atlanta In Concert.  It became renowned as Atlanta's Apollo.  Our production operation, STARBREAKERS, begin putting strategies together to gain a special momentum for these artists.  A few artists went on to higher heights, while some, who were previously signed, made comebacks through these efforts.  I then formatted the prototype for this concept with the compilation CD, STARBREAKERS PRESENTS - ATL - The Corner of Rhythm & Bling (available at www.cdbaby.com/cd/starbreakers), which ignited the spark to put out this audio/visual form plus provide a more equal promotional level with financing; the main ingredient holding back consumers from hearing new music. 

Project: The One is a live concert with performances of emerging-and-rising Hip Hop, R&B and Pop artists filmed for a direct-to-video DVD to be distributed worldwide.  Artists' selection will be based upon the chosen performers (1) music quality for radio airplay, (2) being performance ready in concert and (3) their taken steps of self-promotion to gain mainstream exposure and acceptance.  This show will be fully produced with a film and production crew.  There will be backstage interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.  Completed funding will aid in a level playing field for promotion and distribution of the packaged DVD.

This concept was envisioned as there is a pool of undiscovered talent the world has yet to see.  Tight listed stations and formats have prevented the public and some deejays the joy of discovering new music or seeing "indie" artists live  unless promoted through a major label.

Primed by the overwhelming hunger for music diversity substantiates a movement to circumvent the traditional road to stardom.  The public has voiced their displeasure of hearing the same 10 songs over-and-over and seeing the same 10 artists on TV, the news and awards shows. 

Throughout music history, it has taken only one song to change the lives of many. One song changed the cities of Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago, Memphis, Nashville and Minneapolis into music empires.  Remember, the one song that changed your life forever,  The one you heard for inspiration, good feelings or meeting the love of your life through a dance.  One song gave each generation its' own music genre and idols.  It created dance crazes and set fashion trends.  Swing transcended into Doo Wop...into R&B...into Rock & Roll...into the British Invasion...into Funk...into Hip Hop...into Pop and the beat goes on.  One hit song has taken major label artists from just music performances to TV shows then into movies; opportunities an independent artist will never have in the current media and distribution system. Project: The One's goal is to afford not only that opportunity for artists, but also provide an untapped value for listeners/consumers based upon artistic dimensions versus policy and politics.  The residual affect of this evolutionary step will be the boost of morale for independent artists and, believe it or not, the health of the music industry in job creation in all avenues revolved around recorded music.  Your patronage and input in Project: The One accomplishes this. 

In advance, I thank you, the artists thank you and the music industry thanks you. 

Risks and Challenges:

Inevitably, the success of most productions is diminished, slowed or stopped altogether based upon its financing capabilities.  The achieved funding will eliminate all financial issues for this production.  Over the past years, I have produced over 200 television shows, all on a personal budget as close to zero as one can get.  All personnel, equipment, locations plus anticipated contingencies will have a much lower risk of failure due to the projected budget acquired.  The main, risk, if any will be considered, An Act of God, which covers a flood, hurricane or earthquake, all of which is most unlikely in Atlanta.  As a precaution, a rain date will be made available.  

Due to my experience with the previous mentioned shows, I have all replacements, or at the minimum, two set of each element of the production.  Naturally, nothing is picture perfect, that includes big budget movies as well, but every precaution is being taken to ensure the completion of this project.

BUDGET FUNDING

Fortunately, I have had a qualified crew and equipment for years in producing our television show.  The main function of the finance will be to provide the advertising that not only competes, but excels in innovative ways to allow advertising for the PROJECT: THE ONE DVD to be advertised across multiple screens.  TV, online, on-demand, on the phone, on a tablet, traditional and cable television will help to maximize the reach for people to discover these new artists.  This is not the end-all, but it is definitely the seed and catalyst which will enable a new dimension to erupt. Those costs will be quite variable, but it will be well thought out and planned to respect your contribution in achieving our goal.

Extra Help

It is understood, although a few want to help, financial times do not permit a monetary contribution.  However, any help that you provide is appreciated and you are awesome for participating.  You can help spread the word to others who will financially contribute.  I also encourage you to go to the STARBREAKERS ENTERTAINMENT page on FACEBOOK and give a LIKE.  Please go to www.youtube.com/atlantainconcert and see videos from ATLANTA IN CONCERT.  It would help extremely to click on any non-musical interviews.  They are monetized and it would help in this campaign.  For this participation you receive a virtual awesome salute.  Thank you.
