The TAXI Road Rally, 2007 9th to 11th Nov

Here are some photos to give you an idea of the people I’ve met at the RALLY, all dedicated musicians, songwriters, producers and A&R people with major label companies in USA.

After one of the panels with Adam Watts and Andy Dodd, the songriters of all the hits in HIGHSCHOOL MUSICAL, here are some of the panelists,  with MIchael in the midddle.

 

 

 

 

BOB BAKER, marketing guru and his cherming girlfriend, singer POOKI

If you don’t already have his book, Guerilla MArketing for Musicians, go buy it quickly because it’s a must have.
