USA Today Is Featuring My Social Media Tips!

Posted in Debut CD with tags , , , , , , on March 11, 2012 by Jennie Walker

Well, when a national publication like USA Today is featuring my social media tips, it can only mean one thing….it’s time to BLOG! :)  Read the story HERE

This article is really cool because the writer, Steven Strauss, is one of the people I met during the British Airways Face of Opportunity winners trip to London.  We have stayed in touch since that trip and have worked on a few things together.  He really liked my winning music pitch for the contest and even got some great ideas of his own from watching it!  My label, JennieGirl Music, is mentioned in the article and a link to my album Night Flight to London on iTunes is also provided.

My album was produced and co-written by Tommy Faragher, a producer with a Grammy nomination and 12 platinum selling albums, currently producing hit songs for the American TV show GLEE.

Well, Steve, 5 stars, two thumbs up and a re-tweet for you!  You’re awesome.

The Other Side of Philanthropy

Posted in Debut CD with tags , , , , , on January 9, 2012 by Jennie Walker

Anyone who knows me, knows I have earned my living working in the charity sector, as staff for several major international non-profits and as a fundraising consultant, with my ongoing musical pursuits on the side.

During the winners trip to London for the British Airways Face to Face program, I met journalist Michele Mitchell, whose Film At Eleven company had also won a place in the winners group. When she learned of my fundraising background she approached me about getting involved with the fundraising efforts behind her documentary film, “Haiti: Where Did The Money Go?” which shines a spotlight on how aid works during disasters. I jumped at the chance to use my talents on such an interesting film project and to work with an even more interesting person.

On January 10, 2012, the results of my fundraising efforts will be seen as “Haiti: Where Does The Money Go” makes its debut on PBS and begins a rollout to markets around the United States over several months. It also represents my role as Line Producer on the film. I was presented with a rare opportunity to work on aspects of the film beyond fundraising, and it has been one of the greatest learning experiences of my life.

At 11:11 PM on 11/11/11 An Amazing Google Alert Came Through!

Posted in Debut CD with tags , , , , , , , , , , on November 12, 2011 by Jennie Walker

At exactly 11:11 p.m. on 11/11/11 I received a Google Alert that my music business had been featured on the British Airways website. Link HERE

I’m not sure how much I believe in the vortex that is supposed to have opened up in the universe for all good things to start happening, but I sure want to believe! I kept feeling that something special would happen with my music on 11/11/11. I felt with all the things in the works, something would settle in or some official word would come through. Never in my mind did I think that I would hear about something I applied for almost a year ago, when I was in the middle of the British Airways Face of Opportunity Contest. I’d forgotten all about that I had even applied to be a featured business. And, I never expected I would hear about it at 11:11 p.m.

I take this as a sign from the Universe that something BIG is about to happen with my music. I have been working at this consistently for a long long time and with more focus than I thought possible the last 12 months. I am on the verge of being heard..literally. And, that’s the most important part of this journey…being heard.

And speaking of being heard, I will be performing in New York City at the National Underground (Upstairs) on December 17, 2011 with David Patterson on acoustic guitar. My one hour show starts at 9:00 p.m. and it’s FREE! Hope to see you there.

Quoted in Hypebot on Twitter Hash Tag Usage ###

Posted in Debut CD with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , on October 19, 2011 by Jennie Walker

I don’t know how I missed this one, but I was quoted in a Hypebot article on my use of Twitter Hash Tags back in September! Link to article HERE. What did I recommend for Hash Tags? Music Monday #MM – was my favorite! I can’t stress enough how effective Twitter has been for me and my music. Not only have I met people on Twitter, I late got to know off line, it is through a person on Twitter whom I met, that I learned about the British Airways contest, which I ultimately won! And, most recently, I was offered a publishing/licensing deal to pitch my song “Night Flight to London” for film/TV placement. All from Twitter. That is just two of many cool outcomes from that source……….

If you are not on Twitter, run don’t walk to www.twitter.com
