Ladybird
Please tell me a little about yourself? Who is Ladybird?
Im a soul/deep house singer front Paris. I was in a band called Soldiers of Twilight a few years back.
Now i'm lucky enough to be working with the man behind the Rurals Andy Compton, who also produced my solo album (Which is available in South Africa)
2. How have you gotten your songs out to the industry who should hear them? Sounds like you've been pretty successful with this. Do you have any tips to offer other songwriters in this regard?
Well, I was lucky that people I worked with knew labels and how to go about getting a release signed. I usually work with producers that have their own label. But if you think your music is good enough there are many ways of getting it out there.
internet, creating your own label etc
3. What is your musical background? Do you have a musical family or did you just fall into songwriting all on your own?
I was brought up in my teenage years in a yoga ashram and we would listen to a lot of soul music !! But I guess I really got into the creative process on my own.
4. How do you feel about online stores? Do you think online music will play a large part in where the industry heads in the future? Where do you see songwriters fitting into that?
I think it is a great way for everybody to get a chance at putting their music out there. Yes, the internet is the only way forward !!
