Recently picked up for a spot by Mountain Dew, hip-hop artist and GB member Ques recently talked to us about his successes in the commercial placement arena.
"The way I was picked up from Mountain Dew was through basically networking and staying focused with my sound and music," he told us, "I previously did a commercial for Reebok through a music company named Bang Music... they would call me for slots from Miller Light to light bulb commercials. That alone gave me the opportunity to
land Mountain Dew just as Reebok and here I am."
The Bronx native remembered how when he first joined GarageBand.com, he was excited "just to go up from 70 to 65."
Charting high on the GarageBand.com charts certainly gave a boost to his credibility and his career. His song "All My Soul" is curently #2 in Rap and #3 in Hip Hop. Ques credits other GB members for providing the feedback he needed to hone his musical craft.
"Now that I am #2 and #3, I'm like, 'Whoa'", he said. "The love I get in many reviews let me know what track I should be headed towards and helps me polish what I thought was good to great."
"I'm glad I joined GB 'cause the work was all worth it," he added. "CD sales, promotion, charts, you name it thank you GB."
Today, more independent artists are getting the opportunity to share in the profit of the a booming advertising industry, and we're as excited as ever to help artists find the inspiration to jump-start their music career.
