Song Of The Year Awards

Song Of The Year Award June 2013
Even though your material did not place as a Winner or Finalist, you still did incredibly well in the contest with two of your songs.

Your song "A Soul Once On Fire" received the "Semi-Finalist" placement as listed on your personalized placement page at: A Soul Once On Fire

You also received a secondary placement with "Hearts Slowly Dance" that received a "Runner-Up" placement as listed at: Hearts Slowly Dance

In every contest, there are five "Semi-Finalists" in each category. The "Semi-Finalist" placement is the highest placement next only to the one winner and four finalists from each category. The next five highest placing songs (under the "Semi-Finalist" placements) are the "Runner-Ups". Both the "Semi-Finalist" and "Runner-Up" placements indicate that your songs were in the top 1% of all of the entries in the contest.

The male vocals on both songs sound very professional and both songs have wonderful production qualities!
Receiving two placements within the same contest is fairly uncommon. Great job and congratulations on your songwriting placements!

The ""Semi-Finalist"" placement is the highest songwriting placement next only to the one winner and four finalists. Receiving this placement indicates I was just a few points away from the Finalist placement. Only the top writers receive this placement.

Hey

I listened to your track and it honestly stood out to me. You have a sound with real potential, and it is clear that you have put a lot of work and passion into it.
I want to be real with you. Most of the time, the problem is not the music itself. The real challenge is getting your music in front of the right audience.
Every day, millions of artists release new songs, and the space keeps getting more competitive. So it is not just about making good music anymore. It is about being smart with how you promote and position your sound.
Even when it comes to earning from platforms like Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, strategy and timing matter a lot. You need the right approach to actually stand out and be heard.

That is where I come in.
I help artists grow their visibility, streams, and audience by promoting their music across these platforms. I focus on reaching real listeners who genuinely connect with your style and genre.
Whether you are an independent artist, a band, or a producer, I take time to understand your sound and build a strategy that helps you grow a strong and loyal fanbase.
If this makes sense to you, then let us do something about it. kindly DM--AT--Deborah.ads.vision@gmail.cm

Every artist faces different challenges, so if you are open to it, I would really like to hear what you have been going through so far. That will help me understand how best to support your growth.

Looking forward to hearing from you
Best,
Deborah

Dear Marilyn Oakley, Just heard your song "Wipperwill", loved it......great melody and lyrics were Killer, hope I got the spelling correct on the title? Broad Jam really makes it difficult to reply to you with comments....It's just the New World Order Thingy!! It may be part of Trump's Master plan, I'm not sure??
Toodles, Your Long Time Good Buddy...
