Artist Resources

I've been doing a lot of online promotion for my music for the past few years and have collected an extensive list of websites and other music resources for anyone pursuing a career in music. They are listed below and will be updated regularly. Please shoot me an email if you have any resources you would like to recommend. Music business articles and tips will be posted soon. Enjoy :) - Jessi
