The Contest that Can Help you Showcase your Artwork!

Abet Disc Contest

A Winner each month is selected to receive $100 Gift Card. However, the lucky 8th winner, for this month, will also be awarded an additional prize – free audio mastering, a $550.00 value. That is a total winning prize of $650.00!

Thanks to current technology and with a little help from professional world-class audio CD/DVD mastering and duplication experts, producing a professional CD or DVD, that can truly showcase your musical talent, is now easier than ever before.

While, of course, the musical component is crucial to any successful launch of any CD or DVD, it is only half the battle. As human beings, we naturally tend to gravitate to eye catching images and this is why, dedicating the right amount of time and energy towards choosing the perfect artwork, to showcase your soon to be released CD or DVD is so crucial. Regardless of just how talented and innovative you truly are, the reality is that if your CD or DVD and more specifically, the cover art does not stand out as being imaginative and original, the chances of successfully introducing your new CD or DVD, to the world, has significantly been reduced.

While you might feel as though you have put everything you could into the music you have so lovingly created, the challenge now, is to work on that cover art – to create a graphic design that will convey, through images, the essence of your music and www.abetdisc.com/welcome/pages/abet-design-contest.html sponsors a contest, each month, that can help you get there. There has never been a better time to try your hand at designing and submitting your own cover artwork and challenging yourself through images may just take you to a whole new level of artistry you never thought possible.

The professionals at www.abetdisc.com/welcome/pages/abet-design-contest.html are fellow musicians that share a unique understanding of just how important the “overall” finished product truly is, to any artist. They are keenly aware of their responsibility to support and encourage you throughout the entire CD/DVD creative process and, this contest is one of the ways they have chosen to do so.

To date, www.abetdisc.com/welcome/pages/abet-design-contest.html has successfully encouraged 7 artists, by sponsoring this monthly contest, offering you the opportunity of winning a $100 gift card that can be used to purchase more CD duplication designs of your winning cover. However, the lucky 8th winner, for this month, will also be awarded an additional prize – free audio mastering, a $550.00 value. That is a total winning prize of $650.00! The greatest yet!

Entering is simple. You will receive one contest entry for each CD or DVD duplication, replication or design service order you request. Simply click the box, confirming that you would like to submit your own artwork or graphic design, and you are automatically entered into the contest. One winner is chosen and notified each moth.

Visit www.abetdisc.com for more information on all the services offered, as well as for more contest details.

Edwin Rivera – Soul of A Dancer

Edwin Rivera - Soul of A Dancer

“When an artist has an idea or a dream. Sometimes it’s really hard to surround yourself with the right kind of people to help fulfill your dream exactly the way you want it. I had a dream produce an album. Not only Produce an album but design the perfect album cover to compliment my album. I gave Design2 Sound an idea of what i wanted my album cover to be. I will be honest, i didn’t expect to get back exactly what i wanted the first time it was designed for me. When the design was shown to me for the first time. I was blown away. I couldn’t believe that it only took Design 2 Sound one try to not only to get it right, but to get it exactly how i dreamed it would be. Thank you Design 2 Sound for understanding my dream and making my vision come to life. Edwin Rivera”

Introducing Independent Artist Eileen Carey

Eileen Carey - Moving OnEileen Carey

It isn’t so rare to find actual talent in the world of music today if you look hard enough. It’s when an independent artist combines multiples genres with their own flair for music that an original, catchy sound comes out.

This is completely the case with indie musicians such as Eileen Carey, a country-pop-blues success story right out of Cleveland, Ohio. Influenced by a variety of artists from Motown to English rock, Eileen is an artist that has put in the hard work and perseverance that is rarely seen in a world of American Idol and computer voice technology. She displays a pure, raw gift with every note that she sings.

With the support of her family, she made her way to the Los Angeles music scene to dabble in a little bit of acting, but mostly put herself out there for fans that seemed to form every time they heard her. Proficient in many instruments, but specifically the male dominated percussion, she moves past modern technology to a more simple time, when either you could play and sing, or you couldn’t. A time when musicians weren’t made- they were born.


 

Currently, Eileen Carey is in Nashville, playing and writing with the big boys. She not only has the talent, but the know-how in music industry concepts such as finance and marketing to push herself to go further. She utilizes economically savvy companies, such as Abet Disc, to replicate her music CDs, with the highest quality as their number one priority. She knew that when she needed her album cover to be replicated by the best, so that everyone would see her creativity and beauty shining through, that a company like Abet Disc could make it happen. It takes smarts for this kind of organization, and Eileen Carey has them.

Her latest album Movin On has already had massive success, starting with the hit single “That Was Her This Is Now”, an awesome tune that every person, male or female, can relate to. Her music has been played on radio stations all over the country, and reviewed all over the world! It’s hard, if not impossible, to find a negative review of her anywhere. The explanation for this should be obvious. She’s good, and you just can’t fake that.

Independent artists are often tossed to the side in the mind of consumers, thinking that money and big-shot manufacturers are the ones to be trusted. Yet, they should remember that fancy lights and someone using a machine to fix a voice can only take them so far. It is the musicians like Eileen Carey that create the backbone of the music scene and inspire us all to listen closer next time, and we may hear something we like.
