New Success Story: Zaccheri Gray’s Progress on Music Xray

Zaccheri Gray wrote, sang and entertained practically anyone who would listen and honed his unique talent to literally pick up an audience and take them along with him. He would spend afternoons as a youth humming, strumming and clapping along as his Italian grandfather crooned old arias and his father played his guitar and sang classic American folk songs. This is where Zaccheri became mused by verse, by song — by the power and life in all kinds of music. Today, with musical interests that range from Dylan to Bocelli to Tool to Sinatra, Zaccheri’s from-the-heart style and harmonic rhythms have garnered him a growing following throughout North America and one proud father back home. 

We received an email from Zaccheri telling us the recent success he had in using Music Xray. Here is what he sent to us: 

My song "Lullabyes Baby" was recently selected for the upcomingErrand Boys Movie. 

I have also been nominated for "Best Singer/Songwriter and Best Solo Artist" by the All Indie Music Awards. 

Again my song "Lullabyes Baby" was selected for the Hurricane Relief Project though I did not even pursue that deal. 

Also I got this incredible feedback from Wayne Thompson: “…an amazing talent. One of the brightest I have heard in a long time.” -Wayne Thompson (former manager of Harry Belafonte, Tanya Tucker and The Nylons) 

So far I am very happy with my progress on Music Xray and thought I would share! Thanks.

Indeed this is an awesome progress Zaccheri and your Music Xray family is happy for you. Thanks so much for sharing and we are definitely looking forward for more! 

Take the time to listen to Zaccheri’s full Music Xray EPK http://www.musicxray.com/artists/zaccherigray to see why music industry professionals are interested in his music.

New Success Story: Sweet Rosie Makes Another Great Connection

Don Ferro began as a recording artist for Mercury Records way back in the 60's and 70's. As he matured he found himself gravitating to writing and producing as his career direction. And eventually, he realized the best way to manage great music was to create publishing opportunities for each song. Don is the President of Sweet Rosie Music, a company dedicated to finding the very best songwriters and bringing their best material to market.

We recently received an email from Don and we couldn’t be happier to share it with you:

Here is some good news... we have just published a song that came to us through Music Xray. It is entitled "Little Things." It is a terrific country song. It was written by Elvira Walls, Allen Krehbiel, and Mark Berkowitz, all from the Denver, Colorado area and I am sure we would have never made contact with these writers without your platform. We anticipate a long and fruitful relationship with these writers as they have a well developed understanding of "commercial appeal."

Thanks again for all of your efforts in developing your platform. We think it works just great and we think it truly will revolutionize A&R.

We truly appreciate all the nice words Don and extending our congratulations to these artists/songwriters. Glad that Music Xray served as a bridge for you guys to meet and make all of these possible.
