I restarted my “Road to a Record Deal” on November 13, 2020. Here’s an update of what I did today to advance my position as an aspiring recording artist.
UPDATE!
- December 5, 2020
- It’s official! Last month, I submitted a vocal-only album for digital distribution. Rather than waiting another year for music (I’ve already been waiting decades), I decided to get thankful for my gift and let it stand alone. I can still put music to future projects. Well, I just confirmed that this first MP3 album, “A Cappella Worship” is now available at digital music stores: Amazon Music (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Shenica+R.+Graham&i=digital-music&ref=nb_sb_noss), Deezer (https://www.deezer.com/us/album/190434582), Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/album/1HVXHRYCy428c0cNqJIwPD), and YouTube Music (https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=YdvAmfrFItY&list=OLAK5uy_lOJppkOlPyvHpleAeC_M_pK8xukyTyGgs)! Just search for Shenica R. Graham on your favorite site! The album includes 8 songs, with a combined 25 minutes of listening time. As promised, 50% of all sales will be donated to charity. Other online retailers are also pending!
