Artist News: TaNeal Ends Contract with Managers of Golden Voice Media

This Sunday, August 21, 2011 TaNeal will be at the end of her contract with current managers. It's important for artists to know about what do and what not to do when considering management, TaNeal shares her experience and taking her talents to Atlanta, Georgia a hotbed of rising soul and R&B musicians.  

The official announcement released today states: 

TaNeal is now finished with her contract with Golden Voice Media, the management team including client Ted Williams the homeless guy with the golden voice.

She states that they made a promise to put her to work and that she would make a certain amount of money within the first 3 months with signing with them.  They kept their promise with one show and did nothing else following that.  They never checked in with her and took an unacceptable length of time to followup on her messages and texts.  One mistake she feels they made was that they did not understand booking and could have used Ted Williams celebrity to benefit their other artists.  With that said, it is important to know as an artist who wants to excel in a career of music, if someone approaches you and shows an interest...

1.  They should not ask for money from you.

2.  Do not be afraid to re-negotiate any contracts they present. 

3.  If something doesn't feel right, trust your gut because something is wrong!

TaNeal has learned and is ready to move on.  Since signing with Golden Voice Media she on her own has re-located to Atlanta, Georgia pushing her music and landed a speaking role in an upcoming film "Rebound:  The Movie"  Directed by Micky Riggins. TaNeal's first show since re-locating is this Saturday August 20, 2011 with the Indy Music Fest I and 6th annual International Soul Music Summit: Underground Atlanta (Kenny's Alley) at 10pm.

The Latest Crave: TaNeal

I had the pleasure of meeting TaNeal at the International Soul Music Summit that took place in August. If you are in the mood for some raw rhythm and blues with gangster girl flow  - check out Westerville, Ohio's own TaNeal.

A new artist with a brand new track for every overplayed rap song about needing a dime; you can leave the change behind because TaNeal is way more than currency. Witty pop flavored rap lyrics, with hints of Baduizm in the vocals- Currency is a combination of old school R&B and Hip-Hop in response to new school slang. No more currency - women are way more than dimes.

Now or Neva has a Maxwell feel and starts out with TaNeal showing off her pretty soprano over smooth rhythm and blues. A song about the need to break free and be yourself. Worth a listen especially if you are in the mood for a soulful tun turned blue.

L2L is where TaNeal will make you learn to love her and get on the dance floor. This track is a fistpumpumping dance groove and features a rap solo by R.Y.A.N. with the Drawing Board Experience.

TaNeal's raw talent and street sass has gained her significant buzz giving her the opportunity to open for major R&B acts such as Day 26 and Shirley Murdock. Currently working on a new demo for her next album for hip-hop soul fans and if this next one is anything like the L2L or Now or Neva with tighter production, TaNeal will be on the fast track to being one of the hottest in hip hop soul with her forthcoming project.
