Roy Elkins to Speak at MMF
Broadjam Founder and CEO Roy Elkins will be speaking at the Miami Music Fest this weekend on Saturday, December 12th at 2:40 PM Eastern Time. The name of the panel is "Get Played, Get Paid: Maximizing Opportunities and Income in the Digital Environment." Here is a brief description:

"We all know that independent artists and labels can now find their target audiences online. But how do you get noticed by bloggers and the various online music services, promote your music to them and then get paid as a performer on your sound recordings by SoundExchange when your music gets played? This panel of experts will detail how to get played and get paid as well as other exciting opportunities in the digital realm!"



6-Pack Sixth Can Closing
The last 6-Pack Contest can (the sixth can) will close this Friday, so finish up your reviews! Keep in mind that the scoreboard is delayed by one week, so the last reviews will not be factored into the leaderboard until December 18th.

The leaderboard will be final on December 19th. Prizes will be announced shortly after.


Artist Spotlight

Songwriter/Producer J. Kari formed the production team Talking Book in 2005. Talking Book consists of versatile musicians and vocalists that span the genres of R&B, Pop, Hip-Hop, and Jazz. The group performs and records original music as well as classic R&B and Pop cover songs, and has been broadcast nationally and internationally. The organization's principal songwriter is J. Kari, and their primary goal on Broadjam is song placement opportunities for their entire catalog.

Bose

The Bose L1 Compact speaker system. Like all Bose models, the new L1 Compact system combines conventional PA and monitors into one sleek, highly portable unit that can be positioned behind or beside a performer. Its advanced technologies enable the system to deliver wide, smooth sound coverage ― even off to the sides ― throughout the stage area and an audience of approximately 100. And, the new L1 Compact system is the lightest, easiest-to-set-up and most affordable L1 model yet.
