Platform One

So I thought it would be appropriate to give a quick little explanation on why I am working for Platform One Entertainment. For those of you who don't know, Platform One is a music marketing company that works to find and support new artists through various marketing strategies. 
As a college representative, I help to promote new artists that Platform One represents, as well as try and find new artists by keeping up with the music scene on Mizzou's campus. I do this through distributing a compilation c.d. that Platform 1 puts together, as well as through trying to give new bands exposure. 
NEW this semester, I will be reviewing bands at The Blue Note, the main concert venue here at Mizzou, and posting these reviews on my blog, as well as passing on the information to Platform One. 

The reasons I wanted to work for Platform One were:
1. I am a HUGE music fan. I pretty much listen to anything...my all time favorite will always be Gavin Degraw.
2. My major at Mizzou is advertising and PR, and I would love to be involved in marketing in the future. This is a really fun and exciting opportunity. 

As promised, I do have a song of the week...this one is a little bit old, Walk Away by Ben Harper. It showed up on my iPod the other day and reminded me of how much I love Ben Harper. Amazing voice, inspirational lyrics. 

If anyone has any information on any bands or artists that they've heard in concert or even just a friend's group, drop me an email at sarahcal44@gmail.com.
