MIDEM 2015
Over the past year Our band was noticed on reverbnation by a Wonderful Lady in the music business. She sent us an email basically stating, she liked our music and if we were interested in Representation for MIDEM she would take us on. So... we did our homework and decided to hire Debora Nortman (A-B-A-C-A Entertainment Group, Vancouver Canada)on as our International Representative for MIDEM 2015 We are glad she took us on over 1000's of other Canadian Acts. She only takes 6 Canadian Rock bands EPK a year to the Conference..
