Songwriting Pro's "The Hang" with Hit Songwriter, Kent Blazy

Kent Blazy is a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. His credits include several singles for Garth Brooks, as well as singles by Gary Morris, Diamond Rio, Patty Loveless and Chris Young. He has a total of seven number one hits to his credit. In 1982, Gary Morris took "Headed for a Heartache" to number 5 on the charts. In the years that followed other artists, such as The Forrester Sisters, T. Graham Brown, Donna Fargo and Moe Bandy recorded Kent’s tunes. In 1987, Kent was introduced to a new demo singer by Bob Doyle, then with ASCAP, soon to be the manager for this emerging talent, Garth Brooks. Garth became Kent’s most requested demo singer and Bob Doyle also advised, “Garth writes a little bit too.” The first song Garth and Kent penned together was "If Tomorrow Never Comes" which became the first number one song for both. The friendship and writing partnership continued as Garth included eight more of their songs on his albums. Four more of theirs songs captured the number one slot: "Somewhere Other Than the Night", "Ain’t Goin’ Down (‘Til the Sun Comes Up)", "It’s Midnight Cinderella", and "She’s Gonna Make It.” Brooks continued to record Blazy’s material throughout the 1990s, including the singles “Cold Shoulder” and the George Jones duet “Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?).” He also co-wrote “That’s What I Get for Lovin’ You” by Diamond Rio and “Can’t Get Enough” by Patty Loveless in the late 1990s. Kent’s songwriting continues with established writing partnerships, as well as developing partnerships with new writers and artists. Many of his crafted works continue to be recorded by artists such as Diamond Rio, Kenny Chesney, Terri Clark, Clay Walker, Patty Loveless, Julie Roberts, Andy Griggs and Blaine Larsen, a new recording artist on RCA. Kent's latest #1 hit is Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song), recorded by Chris Young. Kent also has the title track on Reba's latest CD "All The Women I Am" It's also the name of her tour, tv special and her exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Also, look for Kent's latest cuts from Randy Houser "The Power of a Song" on Randy's latest CD. And "Empty Beer Cans" on Jon Pardi's album "Write You A Song". The C.L.I.M.B.

023 EXPAND YOUR BRAND: How to Discover Your Brand

What EXACTLY is your brand? Why should you know how to articulate this seemingly simple question? Just about every indie artist is vague on how to describe their brand. Fans latch on to your brand as much, or in some cases, even more than your music. The artist’s music and their brand stand for something that consumers relate to. YOUR BRAND PROVIDES MANY DIFFERENT WAYS FOR CONSUMERS TO INSTINCTIVELY RECOGNIZE EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE. Oh, and if you think your brand is just about marketing, you’re way off base. When an artist is enlightened on their brand, it strongly influences the artistic decisions as well, like what songs you’ve written are for you, image, production, arrangement, etc. Every time we on-board a new client at Daredevil Production, part of our job description is to discover the artist’s brand and their brand layers. The information we acquire from this exercise provides all the answers we need to targeting, content creation, and strategy creation. Here’s the thing, your brand is like an onion, there’s more than meets the eye and it’s in the form of many different layers. We developed a very effective system for not only peeling these layers and getting to the core of our new artist’s brand but uncovering the subtle undertones that consumers will relate to. In this episode we’re going to share this system with you! Over the years we have created and refined an extensive questionnaire that reveals the core values and understated coatings of intent, meaning, and direction for our artists. In fact, we’re going to give you this questionnaire we developed as a free download. Just visit DaredevilProduction.com/DiscoverYourBrand and tell us where to send it. PS:Imagine what it will feel like to wake up tomorrow and know exactly who your audience is and how to effectively get them to like you.
