Every successful music career has a "secret ingredient" that connects the artist with their audience. We know how to identify what "it" is, and we use "it" to help artists, labels, producers and management define, refine and align that connection.
Jessica Bendinger is an acclaimed Hollywood screenwriter who launched onto the scene with her original script for the hit hip hop cheerleading comedy, Bring it On. Never shying away from challenges and new opportunities, Bendinger recently founded her own record label – Be Records and created her own soundtrack to her debut novel, The Seven Rays including tracks from Metric and Butterfly Boucher. A self described “creative seeker,” Bendinger relies on her enthusiasm and curiosity when choosing the next frontier she would like to explore.
Bendinger's newest idea, Secret Ingredient, is a consulting venture designed to help artists define and refine their career storyline.

A former journalist for Spin Magazine and MTV News, Bendinger covered the hip-hop movement while at Columbia University. On her first assignment with Spin Magazine, Bendinger interviewed Chuck D and Flava Flav, members of one of the greatest hip-hop groups, Public Enemy. Her interview with Salt n’ Pepa appears on the liner notes of their second album, A Salt With A Deadly Pepa. Bendinger’s love of music was fostered at an early age as she grew up in the “margins of the music business” where her mother was a renowned Dixieland jazz trombonist and her father wrote commercial jingles.
It was her love of hip-hop and ESPN cheerleading competitions that propelled her into the idea of Bring it On. Bring it On was rejected 27 times by various Hollywood studios, but Bendinger’s conviction ultimately drove the remarkable success of the film, which debuted at number one at the box office for two straight weeks, and grossed a combined $300 million in theaters and DVD sales.
“I’m a seeker. I’m always interested in what’s new, what’s exciting, and what’s fulfilling for me. And that allows me to keep ahead of the curve as a creative explorer,” says Bendinger.
Jessica Bendinger currently resides in Los Angeles with her two dogs, where she is developing several music and film projects.

For the first time PMR is allowing non-PMR artists and labels to be included. If you would like to be considered include a 100 word or less write-up about your band in the comments section when you submit your song. When you submit is is best to submit an existing music xray that includes a photograph and the more information that is included in the Music Xray song presentation pack the better.
We will not write your review for you so make sure it is no more than 100 words and include your website. If you are chosen to be featured you will be considered as an artist for our label, but there are no guarantees. Regardless -- this is a good opportunity for publicity for you (and your band.)

Signed to Decca Records in 1996, Allan made his debut on the United States country music scene with the release of his single "Her Man", the lead-off to his gold-certified debut album Used Heart for Sale, which was released in 1996 on Decca Records. A second album, It Would Be You, followed in 1998 on Decca. Allan's third album, Smoke Rings in the Dark, was his first album for MCA Nashville (to which he has been signed ever since) and the first platinum album of his career.

A seventh studio album, Living Hard, was released later in 2007.
Overall, Allan's seven studio albums and Greatest Hits package have produced twenty-four singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including three that reached Number One: "Man to Man" and "Tough Little Boys" in 2003, and "Nothing On but the Radio" in 2004. Seven more of his singles have reached the Top Ten on this chart as well: "Her Man", "It Would Be You", "Right Where I Need to Be", "The One", "Best I Ever Had" (a cover of a Vertical Horizon song), "Life Ain't Always Beautiful", and "Watching Airplanes".

I will review and get in contact with you to give you detailed instructions if needed. You are able to ask me about songwriting, production or technical matters and I will get back to you. My prefered genres are pop, rock and contemporary country music, so as orchestral filmscores. If I see extremely potential I will try to get you exposed to the German market.
