Summary: Cristina Fernandes, owner and publicist at Listen Harder, is our guest for the third edition of 'Conversations With...' where we talk to influential, emerging, or just plain interesting figures in the Canadian music industry about their careers and perspectives. Radio Dale is the podcast about music, musicians and the Canadian music industry from our unique perspective at the Dale Speaking offices. We help bring indie and established acts to radio, and spread the word online, as well as develop their careers in today's ever-changing music business. This podcast gives away some of our best information for free, and serves as the 'radio show' to broadcast the ideas, observations and insights we discover every day working with Canadian and International artists. PART ONE: This Week In Music History...what do Snow and the Sound of Winter have in common? http://thisdayinmusic.com This Week On The Charts, Amber looks at album sales chart! India's Campus Report pits Canada versus America! The Music Tech report looks at the birth of the YouTube Music Awards, and the death of Twitter #music. INTERMISSION: Canadian rockers Coney Hatch are back with a new album, a new video, and a new single! We feature Blown Away this week. PART 2: Roo sits down with Cristina Fernandes, owner and publicist at Listen Harder. She has had a long career helping spread the word about some of Canada's best artists, from Alexisonfire to Tokyo Police Club and everyone in between. We talk about the day to day of a publicist, when it's time to seek one out for your band, and what an independent band should think about when crafting a press release...some VERY useful information on how to catch the media's attention! A great conversation for an independent artist looking for more exposure.
