New Success Story: Pete Berwick’s Quick Success

http://www.musicxray.com/success-stories#PeteBerwick

Pete Berwick's journey began in Illinois in the mid seventies, hammering out irreverent country, roots rock and reckless honky-tonk rave ups night after night to anyone in the mid west who cared to listen. Then after almost fifteen years of non-stop performing he headed to Nashville with a fistful of songs and the clothes on his back. After years of belting it out in biker bars and nowhere dives, Pete now found himself opening shows for Charlie Daniels, Doug Kershaw, and other musical legends. He was invited to make cameo appearances in music videos by The Kentucky Headhunters and Travis Tritt. And he also appeared on a commercial for Monday Night Football. But as fast as luck goes up in Nashville, it comes down even faster. Berwick later moved back to his hometown in Northern Illinois and free from the publishing he released "Ain't No Train Outta Nashville" on his own label in 2007.

It's been over thirty years since Pete Berwick stepped on a stage for the first time and like the country outlaws before him, he lives the songs and then writes about them and from the titles on his albums it's obvious that living hasn't always been easy. The only things that ever did come easy for this fifty one year old veteran are the hard breaks, yet Pete Berwick carries on down the road less traveled regardless of the potholes and roadblocks.

Pete is one of the many artists who found Music Xray and was brave enough to try his luck on the site. And we couldn't be happier because Pete's efforts paid off:

I submitted a pitch to Eddie Caldwell and within days he placed my song "Renegade" in the movie "Detention of the Dead." I am very impressed with this quick success and it confirms to me that Music Xray is for real. Eddie is now pitching more of my songs and there is no doubt in my mind he will place more. I am very glad to have Eddie going to bat for me. Thank you Music Xray and thank you Eddie Caldwell.

Reading this email of yours really brought a smile to our hearts, Pete. You’re welcome and we would like to thank you too for believing in Music Xray.

Seeking Songs for Bruno Mars

Opportunity: http://www.musicxray.com/profiles/2329 It's better if you don't understand; just listen and have a good time. That's the response Bruno Mars will give you with a smile when asked to describe his sound and music. He would much rather sing, perform, and write his songs than talk about them, but that is becoming more and more unavoidable these days. It might seem that Mars appeared out of nowhere, co-writing, producing and performing on B.o.B's #1 "Nothin' On You" followed by Travie McCoy's chart-climbing "Billionaire", but he makes one thing clear: "It's not an overnight success".

Mars is a multitalented singer, songwriter, producer and musician who feels most at home when he's performing. Born to a musical family in Honolulu, Hawaii, he was practically raised on the stage. His father, a Latin percussionist from Brooklyn, organized a Vegas-style revue that featured the entire family, including his mother, a talented vocalist. When a four-year-old Mars observed his family performing Motown hits, doo-wop medleys and impersonations for enthusiastic crowds all over his native Waikiki Beach, "I was jealous!" says Mars with a laugh. "My dad put me on stage and I remember singing an Elvis song and that was it. Ever since that moment, I've been addicted."
