Tila Tequila and Coldplay Used it - The New Secret to Music Promotion Success By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=John_Essiam]John Essiam I guess by now you know who Tila Tequila is. If you don’t, she is the girl on MTV reality TV show “A shot at love…” She is also a musician signed to A&M Records. Tila got to where she is now, largely due to her very intensive activity on the internet. Or MySpace to be specific. Sandi Thom is another musician who utilised ‘the power of online marketing. She got signed to RCA after , reportedly, she played a live concert to an audience of 70 000 people from her home! Today you could actually setup a show like that yourself, more or less for free, thanks to websites like Mogulus.com. There are many artists who make a good living from their online music promotion. Good examples are David Nevue and Chris Standring who also spend time educating artist on how to duplicate their success. Recently a MySpace top artist Stevie Hoang, also became a number one artist on iTunes Japan. I had a chance of speaking with him recently and he agrees that a lot of his success came from the fact that he was one of the first artists on MySpace. Major artists like Lilly Allen and Sean Kingston all got their leverage using the internet. Bands like Coldplay and Radiohead, albeit already very famous have been able to sustain their careers using online music promotion. In case of Coldplay, you could actually say they able to get to the next level thanks to the internet! Who knows where they would be now if they didn’t come up with the brilliant promotion for their single and tour, on the band’s website. So I guess, despite the cries of many industry members, Internet is now a bona fide music marketing tool. The dust is settling down as more and more people understand the medium better. The good news is anybody can be successful on the internet! There are many free websites dedicated to educating artists on how to get their music out there. Who knows, maybe I will write the next article about you. John Essiam is a music video director and an industry professional based in the UK.

Viva la difference; Cardiff singer's choice not to join Coldplay hasn't dented his confidence or career. EUGENE Francis Jnr made his decision and he sticks by it - who wants to be in Coldplay, anyway? The Cardiff singer/songwriter became good friends with the million-selling band, who are currently at No 1 in the charts with their fourth album, Viva La Vida, when they studied together at University College London. Francis, who roomed with Coldplay's drummer Will Champion in halls of residence, even holds the distinction of having had Chris Martin and co support his former band, The Fantastic Super Foofs, back in 1996. "We all hung out and made music and there was a time ... http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-180357817.html (Jen's Note - I don't have a subscription to extrcat the rest of the article :( )

From Wikipedia: Along with school friends Nav Verghese and Baz Hall, he formed The Fantastic Super Foofs at Brynteg School in Bridgend circa 1994 playing under the name 'Eso Burst'. At this stage they played punk rock, and were briefly known as "Mister Puss" (after his cat), until Verghese penned a song called 'The Fantastic Super Foofs' in his side-project 'Lesters Lovechild' and hence resulted in a name change in 1996. Their first recording as a group was a Ltd EP release on "Russboy Records" titled "Gliptus." By this point EFJ had enrolled at University College London studying Planetary Science. It was here he found himself in the same halls of residence as Coldplay and My Vitriol. Whom he quickly befriended. After graduating and spending time in Australia, The Fantastic Super Foofs released the singles "Bilo Boss", "Devan Endo" and "Timmy Zuckermann" on the independent labels Floating Toast and Fuzzbox Records. These singles were met with positive reviews in the NME and were played by Steve Lamacq and the late John Peel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Francis_Jnr
