Download Joett Vocal Drills Volumes 1-7 MP3 from Internet Archive

 

If you’ve purchased my book 101 Letters from a Vocal Coach, all you now need to do is to come here to download the accompanying audio product Joett Vocal Drills Vol. 1-7 from Internet Archive. 

Previously, once you buy the paperback from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or Lulu, you’ll find instructions inside the book on how to claim your audio products.

Well, I suppose I’ve now completely simplified that process for you. And this brings with it the added advantage that sort of allows you to sample Joett Vocal Drills Vol. 1-7 for FREE before you purchase the book. 

But be sure to get your hands on the book, as it nicely completes the package. 

Before I go, here’s a quick tip on how to download Joett Vocal Drills Vol. 1-7 from Internet Archive. 

If you’re using a mobile phone, place a finger on the track to bring up an options window; and then select Download Link to download the tracks to your phone track by track. 

It should be relatively easy. But in case that doesn't work, for whatever reason, you can use a computer to download the zip file from Internet Archive.

Here's how...

If you’re downloading from a computer, scroll down to bottom of product page, and click the VBR MP3 option at the bottom of the options list to download the zip file containing all the piano tracks.

Emerging Nigerian artist Tam Ben drops explosive Electric Vibe

I’ve followed Tam Ben’s career ever since he reached out to me via WhatsApp a few years ago. What is really amazing about this Nigerian artist is that he makes great music and is particularly good at networking his products online, in such a pleasant and respectful way. Unlike some people we know, he is very polite and doesn’t push his product upon you. He’s extremely courteous.

In terms of his music, Electric Vibe is blazing hot. It’s so more-ish. He’s run the track for under 3 minutes, and that in itself will have you begging for more. How ingenious! When I first took a listen I was like, hey, why has it STOPPED? I had to replay. 

Tam Ben held 7th place in the Summer 2020 Edition of the Djooky Music Awards and was featured in an article by Lucy Ilado in Music In Africa Magazine.

You’ll find Tam Ben on Instagram @tambensings

Now without further ado, please have a listen to Electric Vibe from Tam Ben (below).

Yajue Makundi Haya Mawili ya Wasanii Waimbaji

Kuna waimbaji au wasanii wa kuimba wa aina mbili… kwa mtazamo wangu. Nataka niyaanike hapa fasta tuanze mjadala huu rasmi.

Kuna wale ambao wanaamini yakwamba, muimbaji anacho hitaji ili kua msanii au kuitwa msanii, ni nguo nzuri (umaridadi), track na video kali na labda kiki la nguvu ili apae anga za tasnia ya muziki kilaini. Lakini sio kuimba.  Hiyo haina ulazima.

Kundi hili ni la watu ambao wanategemea kubebwa na studio. Yaani, mategemeo yao yote ni kwa yule producer ataeweka auto-tune kama zote ili kujaribu kuficha ukweli kwamba sauti ya kuimba hawana.

Sasa basi, ukija jukwaani, kwa wao umuhimu ni show la kibabe na pamba kali lakini kuimba hamna kitu pale, ni sifuri. Lakini tambua kwamba kundi hili la wasanii hawajali kabisa kwamba hawajui kuimba na wala nafsi zao haziwasuti. Wao wanaona kuishi kama msanii katika mazingira haya ni jambo la kawaida kabisa na linakubalika, na haina haja kujiendeleza kama muimbaji. Yaani, kwake yeye kujihusisha na mambo haya ni kujipotezea muda tu.

Sasa tuangalie kundi hilo lingine.

Kundi hili ni wasanii au waimbaji ambao kwa kweli hawaridhiki kabisa na uimbaji wa hovyo. Ni kwamba wanashindwa wafanye nini ili kubadili hiyo hali. Ni jambo ambalo linawakera kiasi ambacho wanaona aibu kabisa kujinadi kama wasanii, nafsi zao zinawasuta. Wanajihisi kama wao ni wasanii bandia. Kundi hili ni watu ambao wakipata fursa ya kufundhishwa kuimba watafanya lolote lile ili kuboresha uimbaji wao, na hawakati tamaa. 

Je, katika haya makundi mawili, wewe ni yupi?

Natumaini makala yangu ya leo imekufurahisha kwa namna moja au nyningine. Kama umenufaika na ungependa wengine nao wanufaike, basi naomba sambaza! 

Je, ungependa kujifunza kuimba?

Kama ungependa kuanza mafunzo ya kuboresha sauti yako ya kuimba, unaweza kuanza kwa kusoma na ku-download mazoezi ya sauti na muongozo wa kina kupitia makala yangu Msaada wa Mafunzo ya Sauti na JOETT WhatsApp na Telegram.

Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock makes acting debut in romantic comedy Boxing Day

 

Published in The Sun Newspaper 21.12.2020 (From Simon Boyle's Bizarre column)

THIS time last year the thought of the Little Mix girls going solo was unthinkable – but now it’s a reality.

My exclusive pics show Leigh-Anne Pinnock's first individual venture as the girls prepare to do their own projects outside the band. See pictures and read the full article in The Sun Newspaper.

The flick is directed by I May Destroy You's Aml Ameen and also stars Aja Naomi King, best known for her role in How to Get Away with Murder, and BAFTA-winner, Marianne Jean-Baptiste.

Read Simon Boyle's full article here.

Joett Music Blog Closing Notes

Now the reason I'm particularly excited about this project is because my nephew, Morris Waters, who is also my pupil (I coach him on Skype every week), appears as a busker in the movie and plays the song For The Love Of You by the Isley Brothers on acoustic guitar whilst Leigh-Anne Pinnock sings. 

My nephew, who was discovered by the producers whilst busking in the streets of London several weeks ago and offered a role in the movie, had been rehearsing the song for a few weeks and had come up with his own version of the song, which I very much liked and as it happens, so did Leigh-Anne when they rehearsed in her trailer for a couple of hours on set, on the the day of the shoot.

It has to be said, I am a really proud uncle right now.

Djooky Music Awards, African Perspective On Uplifting Rising Talent

 

Djooky Music Awards Global Song Contest (DMAs) is inviting recording artists from across the globe, to take part. If you have recorded a track, you can upload it to DjookyAwards.com and then nominate your song for the Awards. It’s that simple.

When voting begins for the National rounds, you'll then simply promote your nomination to your fan base and supporters, and if you are able to get enough votes, you will get to enter the Continental rounds and thereafter the Global rounds. 

It is ONLY in the Global rounds that the judges will get to exercise their 50% voting power. To find out who is on the judge panel, click here.  

The following video shows you how to register your song on the Djooky website.

DMAs, The African Perspective 

The Djooky Music Awards have signed an exclusive partnership with Nam Radio for Africa. You can read up on this announcement on the Djooky website here.

Now, as the official Djooky partners for Africa, Nam Radio, turbocharged by its artist development platform Talent Showcase Africa, will oversee the DMAs marketing initiatives on the African continent. 

And so we are looking for partners across the continent, and they will include the following list of stakeholders.

Radio

We have a full proposal for radio marketing the DMAs, which you’ll find here.

Record Labels

If you have emerging talent on your label, the DMAs would be a good place to bring about the exposure that your artists need to build their brand. In the case of celebrity acts on your roster, please read the following paragraph.

Celebrity Artists and Music Influencers 

We invite top artists/musicians and music influencers with millions of followers to help us uplift emerging talent. One sure way to do this is to follow in the footsteps of Mr Eazie and his Empawa Africa project. Now the beauty of the DMAs is that the infrastructure is already setup, so all a high profile personality will need to do is to plug-in local artists they want to uplift; support and promote (on their social media) during the voting process for the Djooky Awards National, Continental and Global rounds. 

I’m sure you will agree that it is always a positive thing to give back to the community by helping others realize their dreams, and the Djooky platform is the perfect place to do that at no cost to the celebrity/music influencer. Needless to say, it will create a buzz and significant engagement on the celebrity's social media platforms... which will—no doubt, contribute to maintaining their relevancy in this COVID-19 era. 

Print & Digital Media 

The Djooky Music Awards has been picked up by Billboard and Music In Africa magazines, and a host of other publications across the globe; there’s more on this on the Djooky news feed here. 

And so from an African perspective, Nam Radio is looking for the support of media outlets right across the African continent. We have a great partnership going with the DMAs and we'd like to ensure that it benefits emerging talent from across Africa. 

The following is a video message from Brian Malouf, co-founder of the Djooky Music Awards Global Song Contest.

   

In Conclusion 

With your help, I know we can get an African artist to Los Angeles to record their next song at the iconic Capitol Records Studios in Los Angeles, California, with Michael Jackson's producer Brian Malouf, and his team of producers and engineers.

In second place Mimigold was awarded $5k to upgrade her recording equipment.

In third place GAONA received $2k to upgrade his recording equipment.

Gina Brooklyn said: ‘I can’t believe I won, it’s beyond surreal. I created ‘No More Hiding’ with Dan Epand and I couldn’t have done it without him. I’m so grateful for everyone who voted for me and supported me throughout this process.’

Mimigold said: ‘It was a great pleasure participating in the DJOOKY competition. I usually don't do competitions, but I wanted to do this, and I appreciate the platform. God bless you all that support African and Nigerian music.’

GAONA said: ‘It was a special contest, we put a lot of desire and heart together with my team to attract the attention of the grand juries. We have not lost the competition, we have gained the time necessary to continue proving that what we dream of is worth fighting for. ‘

The contest was judged in the final stages by a panel of prestigious producers, musicians including world-recognised American producer, engineer, and mixer Brian Malouf whose work has amassed a total of 53 gold, platinum and double-platinum records to date; British Ivor Novello Award two-time winner and Grammy-nominated Sacha Skarbek, best known for writing James Blunt's hit singles ‘You're Beautiful’ and ‘Goodbye My Lover’,’ as well as the Miley Cyrus hit song ‘Wrecking Ball’. Award-winning musician and composer and Grammy nominee Patrice Rushen who composed and recorded the hit song, ‘Forget Me Nots’, and Justin Gray who has collaborated with a diverse range of artists including Avril Lavigne, Mariah Carey, John Legend, David Bisbal, Luis Fonsi, Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, James Bay, and Reignwolf. 

Brian Malouf, who is also a Co-Founder of DMA, said: ‘Gina Brooklyn’s hypnotic, desperate, and powerful winning song ‘No More Hiding’ is a great example of the hidden gems we found from all over the world and a most deserving piece in this, our first seasonal song contest.

I had some great songs on my personal playlist including ‘Ilusiones’ by Keira Music, ‘Dame Una Razon’, by Gaona, ‘Not Stuck With You (NSWU)’ by Oubey, ‘Baby On Board’ by Genia Stormz, ‘No One Believes Me’ by The Grand Ma, ‘Death and Dyin’ by Poke, and ‘The Dream Is A Lie’ by Tony Arratia.

I am really happy with the outcomes, but even happier with the worldwide participation we enjoyed in our inaugural contest.  As a start-up we had a pretty steep learning curve with the tech, but I’m feeling very positive about the daily progress we’re making with it, and excited to hear the next batch of entries, which I started listening to today.’

Award-winning songwriter and one of the DMA judges Justin Gray said: ‘I was so impressed with the breadth of talent from all over the world. Every song was unique and truly represented the global wealth of true musical talent. Djooky is a very legitimate option for artists looking to find that breakout opportunity they need.’

The platform received nominations from artists located across the globe, and all six continents and The DMA took place in three stages which included National, Continental, and Global voting rounds. Djooky Music Awards is now open for the next season - Autumn Season 2020 and is accepting applications from artists all over the world until Nov 23rd, 23:59:59 GMT.

Africa Partnership Call to Radio, for the Djooky Music Awards

Djooky Music Awards Global Song Contest

Namibia's Nam Radio, under whose umbrella sits artist development project Talent Showcase Africa, has signed an exclusive deal for Africa with LA-based tech startup Djooky Music Awards (DMAs). 

A Music In Africa Magazine article goes into greater detail, so be sure to have a read through (here). 

This story has also been picked up by Billboard Magazine. 

So, what significance does this have for music talent on the African continent, and why am I writing this letter. Please take a look at some more detailed information and ideas I have put together for you below.

Our prime target is radio across Africa, for disseminating this information to the public, and the way for radio to monetize this event is to tie it all in with selling primetime advertising slots to local corporate sponsors in popular radio programs, in tandem with the DMAs. 

Now, to help you create an even bigger buzz to REALLY spice up things for your station, I can throw in my Vocals Quick Fix Africa—DIGITAL Giveaway Package for RADIO, which comprises my private coaching as a free giveaway to radio audiences across the continent. Once we've selected the best talent from audition tapes submitted to your radio platform, I will coach the winners via Skype. 

And I can recommend that we also partner up with a local record producer to help the talent record their NEXT song for the next Djooky Music Awards.

DMAs will run four times a year. So there's plenty of opportunities to promote, brand and grow this project to its full potential. In due course, we shall work out the finer details with our potential radio partners.

Namibia's Nam Radio Enters Exclusive Partnership with Djooky Music Awards Global Song Contest

LOS ANGELES, WINDHOEK, LONDON, 03 August 2020 -- Windhoek-based Nam Radio today announced an exclusive pan-African partnership with The Djooky Music Awards, the world’s first truly global online song contest backed by Brian Malouf, a multi-platinum American producer, engineer, and mixer who has worked with acts such as Michael Jackson, Queen, Madonna and others.

The partnership aims to support artists represented on Nam Radio’s Talent Showcase Africa, a recently launched pan-African platform that seeks to discover, nurture, develop and launch fresh new talent on the African continent.

“Nam Radio’s philosophy has a huge resonance with Djooky’s vision. While Nam Radio exists to reduce inequalities for emerging artists within the entertainment industry and increase opportunities on mainstream platforms, at Djooky we want to create fairer opportunities for musicians who are struggling to break through the power structures which currently exist in the music industry. 

In DMA, the power is with the people who decide which song wins over their hearts. It’s a truly democratic initiative and I hope that artists will waste no time in taking advantage of it,” says Brian Malouf, Co-Founder and Senior Judge at Djooky Music Awards.

“With this partnership we are bringing great value to emerging and established artists, and with our in-house Talent Showcase Africa platform, we shall be extending our voice coaching products and services across the continent to help artists prepare for their song recording projects,” says Collin Mogagabe, Nam Radio’s Founder and CEO.

“Our ambition is to create a truly global platform which welcomes artists from all countries of the world. The African continent is rich with musical talent and we are excited to be able to reach out to the emerging artists from all across Africa through our partnership with Nam Radio,” says Andrew Dakhovskyy, Co-Founder and CEO at Djooky.

Eleven African singers have already registered to take part in The Djooky Music Awards, with registrations from Malawi, Ghana, and South Africa leading the way. Camidoh, a Ghanaian Afro pop/RnB singer, record producer and a songwriter, was the first African entry registered on the platform.

The contest accepts applications from Artists and Songwriters until 15 August 2020, when the National Voting Round will take place and country winners will be announced. The top three Entries from each country qualify for the Continental Voting Round on 22 August 2020. The top three Entries from each continent will compete for the main prize in the Global Voting Round announced to take place on 29 August 2020.

In the Global Final, the results will be determined by way of combining the jury vote and the popular vote whereas in the National and Continental rounds the voting power is given solely to the general public.

The winner of the contest will travel to the iconic Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, California, to record a song with Brian Malouf and his team. The winner will also attend coaching sessions with the best music experts globally.

Entries are welcome from artists from all countries. To take part, an artist or a songwriter must register and upload their song on the Djooky website. Full details on how to enter are available via djookyawards.com.

A Reality Check for Singers who think you can get by with Just Talent

Want to Sing Like a Pro?

Struggling with your singing voice? 

In this article I tell a few hard truths about the business of singing, AND I outline the solution to resolving your vocal issues.

If you were under the impression that talent alone is enough to take you from zero to hero as a singer, and yet in secret you struggle to deliver those seemingly basic notes in the studio AND on stage... and you’re finding it hard to admit [even] to yourself that—after all, it MUST take more than just TALENT to become a better singer, this article will aim to open up that space for you, and help you better understand what it really takes to improve your singing voice.

Have I struck a chord?

The more you care to consider what you’re missing out on for lack of vocal training, the more you’ll want to find out about what professional voice coaching can do for your career.

Well, I know there’s always the YouTube video that hands out random tips on how to improve your singing voice, but if you’ve tried learning to sing using these videos you’ll probably have found out the hard way that it isn’t so easy.

And I will explain why.

Nothing beats private coaching. There’s so much more about any individual’s vocal problems that you cannot even begin to address with one-size-fits-all downloadable mp3 products and video illustration. 

And this is why, even though I DO offer similar products myself, I’ve had to go the extra mile so as to become more accessible via WhatsApp because I’ve learned from experience that a lot of folk downloading such voice training products are using the training programs incorrectly—OR in a way that does not address their individual vocal issues—and without proper guidance, left to their own devices, they tend to achieve very little.

And so you’re going to be surprised to find just how much more you stand to gain just by working with a voice coach one-on-one.

I remember a good testimonial from Luther Vandross about a book and audio training product he’d purchased, and this is what he said.

“A couple of years ago, Stevie Wonder put me on a counsel phone hook-up with Seth and we arranged to start some voice study. Soon I became involved in Seth’s technique. I bought the book and also sat in on lessons with a junior “Star Search” winner who got a contract with CBS Records (whom I was producing). Seth’s vocal approach makes the high notes solid and easy, with no need to resort to falsetto (unless for some special effect). This approach is a valuable addition to making your styling easy, always available and extending the life of your voice.”

So, books and audio downloads are a great help, but private sessions with a professional voice coach—speaking from my own experience as a coach—go a long way toward helping you realize your full potential as a singer, as whatever is done in training will be tailored to correcting YOUR individual vocal issues. Not that of another person—just YOU, personally!

If you’re the kind of person that wants to become a better singer, I do sincerely hope this article has shed a bit more light on what it takes to become a far better singing version of yourself.

Want to Get Started? 

Take a look at my comprehensive voice training packages below, and you're welcome to join my International WhatsApp Group here. 

Comprehensive Speech Level Singing Course Level 1

This involves private tuition inside my studio. (You’ll find information on my Skype training here). A program comprises a total of 10 hours broken up into one hour per session. In other words, every private session with me runs for one full hour. My studio is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday from 11am till 8.30pm East African Time.

In this program you’ll get an introduction to speech level singing technique with intensive vocal drill workouts on piano to help rebalance your voice, extend your range AND mend the bridges.

Comprehensive Speech Level Singing Course Level 2

In Level 2 we shall continue with the vocal drills on piano for another 10-hour set, but I will be throwing into this program some truly amazing Funky n' Fun Vocal Workouts Parts 1 & 2 to help you develop your musicality.

Comprehensive Speech Level Singing Course Level 3

In Level 3 we shall continue with the vocal drills on piano for another 10-hour set, but I will be throwing into this program more advanced Funky n' Fun Vocal Workouts, again, to further develop your sense of music and to introduce you to some of the main musical vocabulary all musicians should know.

Comprehensive Speech Level Singing Course Level 4

In Level 4 we shall continue with the vocal drills on piano for another 10-hour set, but I will be alternating this with a more jazz, blues, pop R&B vocal workout schedule to help you develop your own unique style.

Please note that Level 4 is also the beginning of your maintenance program. Which means from this point on, you may continue to buy your ten-set programs (optional) in order to maintain your voice and to continue to grow your talent.
