Introducing Broadjam Mastering Service
Musicians often worry they can't afford to have their music project professionally mastered. But, quality audio mastering (the process of preparing and transferring the final mix of a recording to a data storage device referred to as "the master") can make a huge difference to a music recording. Our new Broadjam Mastering Service provides top-quality mastering performed or supervised by award-winning mastering engineer Craig Anderton.

Member Profile Menu
Broadjam has made some updates to the member profile menu. To make your edits and updates easier, we’ve moved the profile menu from the lower left-hand navigation of your profile page to a "floating" menu style at the bottom of the page. We’re hopeful that this will not only make accessing the many options for your profile easier, but also more intuitive and fast.

Please note: if you’re using Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6 browser, or anything previous to it, this improved menu will not appear and your profile page will default to the old menu style. A newer version of Internet Explorer is available here.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us at customerservice@broadjam.com.


Artist Spotlight

A native of the south coast of Massachusetts, H. Jay Carney is a self-described “late arrival to the party” having only begun songwriting in 2008. Carney grew up influenced by the music of sixties and seventies, and much of Jay's lyrics and melodies are rooted in the music of those times, but with updated contemporary sound.

Although Jay's songs cross all genres, he is particularly adept at angst ridden lyrics capturing the core of suffering. Recently, Carney reports that he has also been focusing on sharpening his country songwriting skills and has written in that genre.
