Hi Paul Messina,
I have been listening to "Lucky Seven" on Broadjam and I genuinely appreciate the authenticity in your sound. It feels natural and cinematic, the kind of vibe that can translate well beyond just streaming platforms.

I work with independent artists to help position their music more strategically, especially when it comes to being industry-ready, refining presentation, metadata, branding, and overall profile structure so it aligns with what decision-makers are actually looking for.

Out of curiosity, are you currently aiming more toward sync placements, or focused on growing your streaming audience?

If you're open to it, I'd be happy to have a brief, no-pressure chat about your direction and explore whether there's a practical way I can support what you're building.

Either way, keep creating, your sound truly stands out.

Let's connect: timothytomdg@gmail.com

Best regards,
Timothy Thomas
Music Promotion & Sync-Graphics Specialist

You're still a hard man :) Thanks for the feedback on 'I Am Always'. That track was written and posted over 10 years ago; before you did your great sax work on 'Water'. It's on my to-do list to go back and redo that track. If you can slot me in between your Grammy dinners and marathons, I'd love to have you drop a live sax on it; it would be an honour pal. Glad to see you're still as sharp a knife. Love to the family.

Tough review of my track 'I Am - Always' - love you to bits mate. I was on that project you offered to play live sax for me, and I am forever grateful pal. Keep well.
