DonationsGot one of my tracks without paying for it? It happens. I'm not going to tell. The real question is "Did you like it?" If the answer is "Yes" and you now feel like throwing a coin in my hat to say thanks, then I'd appreciate it. Click the hat below to donate via PayPal. You choose how much. Any sign that you support what I'm doing here will be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
Alternatively, I now also accept BitCoin. Aren't I the badass? Send whatever you want to the address below and I'll be extremely grateful. Cheers.

Manifesto of a Modern MusicianWhy I'm doing this the way I'm doing it.
Getting on iTunes Without a LabelIf you're not signed to a proper record label then iTunes won't host your tracks. Unless you follow my advice....
Starting your own record labelDon't wanna sign to someone else who'll take all the money you earn? Want to release the music of other unsigned artists and bands you know? Then you need to set up a record label. It's actually pretty easy to do.
A Physical ReleaseThe process by which your imaginary intangible MP3s become lovely tactile plastic discs.
The Dearth Of MavericksI blame Simon Fuller. Rock and Roll used to be Rock and Roll; here is why I reckon it isn't any more.
How To Write A SongWriting a song is nowhere near as tricky as it may first seem. Allow me to guide you.
It Takes More Than Belief"If you just believe in yourself, anything is possible." This is a lie. I shall explain why...
Music DNANew formats are being hyped to replace MP3. I don't think they're going to work.
Releasing Your StemsOn why I think artists should make the music they make freely available to remixers.
The Validity of AutotuneI don't believe Autotune is killing music any more than the electric guitar killed music.
Manipulating StatisticsPRS say their royalty collections have dropped by 1% for the first time ever, and blame music pirates. Here's why they're wrong.
The Problem With CopyrightI think copyright was originally an excellent and much-needed idea. Somewhere along the way it all went wrong, and we need to rethink it or else it will discourage creators from making anything new.
Self-Policing The InternetWe don't need new laws to police the internet, we don't need new technology, and we certainly don't need politicians who are for the most part utterly clueless about the internet to be trying to dictate how we can use it. Allow me to suggest a far more intelligent, egalitarian solution.
