What’s the first thing you would say to someone when they ask you to describe what you do?

I’m a well-rounded entrepreneur. I am the CEO and Founder of Uploaddemo.com. I connect aspiring artists with industry heavyweights. Uploaddemo.com is an A&R department of a record label with a combination of recording artist, producers, song writers, and radio personalities to give the inspiring artist the true opinion on the song they listen to.

How did you get started in the music industry?

A friend of mine came to me asking me to help him get a record deal…He had spent several months and thousands of dollars and still no deal or confirmation of any record label hearing his demo. I wanted to help, and I knew I could help, so I stepped in and since then, it’s become what I eat, breathe and sleep.

What do you feel about the music industry today?

The music industry is losing billions of dollars today. The industry is diluted. If you turn the radio on and listen for 14 hours all you will hear is the same 20 or 25 artists singing all day long. What we need is change. We need to start giving new artists a chance. We need to make sure the music biz as fun and exciting as it once was… we need to make sure our schools support music classes, and most of all make sure the music industry is kept authentic.

How has social media changed the music industry in your opinion?

Social media is the best thing that has ever happened to the music industry. It started connecting people and resources. It gave people a new way of communication. The only problem is that in many cases, our music industry is being managed by an older generation that never believed that social media was going to make any changes, but it did, and they never took the right steps to work with it.  Like the old saying you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. 

Can you tell us about your website - UpLoad Demo?

Uploaddemo.com is an A&R department of a record label with a combination of recording artist, producers, song writers, and radio personalities to give the inspiring artist the true opinion on the song they listen to. We combined A&R, recording artists, producers, and inspiring pans, music bloggers, music news, fans, and the Social networks all in one location to network with each other and make people’s dreams turn into realty. 

What inspired you create UpLoad Demo?

Someone in the music industry told me “Dino there is no way you will be able to be part of the music industry it’s by invention only”. That was the best insult anyone had ever given me.

When will UpLoad Demo be available to musicians/artists to use?

Summer 2012. Our targeting date is the 1^st week of June 2012, for fans to get acquainted, register and create a login. The full functioning site will be up by late June 2012.

About Upload Demo

Created by Dino Awadisian CEO and Mike Davtyan CFO – Upload Demo is the perfect marriage of musicians, aspiring artists and label executives! For decades the challenge for most struggling musicians has been getting their music to the true decision makers and Upload Demo offers a credible and exciting one-stop solution to that dilemma. Beginning June 2012 musicians globally will have - at their fingertips - the privilege of selecting top industry executives and insiders to review critique and, even offer recording contracts. Upload Demo has partnered with a diverse group of industry insiders and taste-makers to present the ultimate music platform and music placement opportunity since the creation of the “artist demo” – taking the demo process to the viral community allows “would be musicians” to engage the ready ear of top executives. Executives will send immediate critiques which will be sent via text and Facebook directly and instantaneously to the musician. This unique exchange ensures each artist that their music was heard; additionally, the Upload Demo listening executive offers the artist sound advice, direction and credible insight. “We have encountered many deserving musicians who have never been offered a real shot or have the music connections - even more musicians complain that they’ve often sent in music and have never received feedback…” shares CEO Dino Awadisian, “and with Upload Demo we are happy to provide a connection that we hope supports artists and encourages them.” CFO Mike Davtyan adds, “…we have committed between 40-50 million to make this necessary difference in the music community… Upload Demo is here to stay!”

WWW.DOWHATYOUDESIRE.COM & WWW.AMERIKASADDICTION.COM PRESENTS AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH JODY DUFF!

Greetings Addicts!

Check out the new interview we have with an up and coming artist by the name of “Jody Duff” from Chicago! Very interesting and informative! This young man has been on his grind and he took the time out to answer some questions for us here at www.dowhatyoudesire.com - Check it out and do what you desire…

—-INTERVIEW

What’s the first thing you would say if someone asked, what does “Jody Duff” do?

I would say that Jody Duff does “him”. As cliche as that may sound, all I know how to do is me and to be real, and I let that reflect in my music. 

What inspired you to create music?

My mom is really what inspired me to start making music. Ever since I was a shorty she’s been putting me on with all different styles of music from Jay Z to Radiohead. She’s really my inspiration, especially since she supports and believes in me 100%.

Who are some of your influences in music?

A couple of my influences in music would have to be Kanye West, Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Tupac.. I would even have to say Chief Keef, because all of these artists have something in common, and that’s staying true to themselves. I see a lot of artist’s that “blow-up” and become something that they know they’re not and that’s not what I’m trying to do. I’m trying to get on by being nothing else but myself, and I feel as though the artists I named do that the best.

What has been your favorite moment of your hip-hop career?

Hmm.. my favorite moment of my hip hop career would have to be the first time I performed. It gave me a feeling that I don’t think anything else could give me, it’s really indescribable.. Honestly, it felt so good that I wasn’t even nervous. It just came natural and I will always remember that moment.

Take us through a studio session with you - how do you come up with your music/songs?

Well, usually I come to the studio prepared with my songs written to and mapped out. But occasionally I’ll just be going through some beats, here one that I’m feeling the most at the moment, have my engineer put it on repeat, and write a song in about 5-10 minutes. Sounds crazy, but I’ve done this like twice or so. My work ethic in the studio is crazy, not trying to toot my own horn or anything though. I’m somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to my music so I’ll just keep working on whatever it is about the song that I don’t particularly like until I fix it to how I wanted it originally.

Are you working on any new projects?

I’m actually working on two projects at once right now. One of them being an EP called “GOD” which should drop in the middle of June.. The whole thing is produced by my boy Herk Twist, dude’s cold.. and the other project I’m working on is called “Mulatto” which will be my 2nd official mixtape. That’ll probably drop sometime in the summer or whenever I feel as though the people should be blessed with that sound.. Because that’s something that I really want to be perfect, and it will be just that. But after Mulatto, I plan on dropping one EP every month until my next big mixtape comes out, and keep on doing it like that. The key is hitting the people over the head with new music rapidly and that’s what I’m on.

Who are some of the artists/producers you have worked with?

I’ve worked with some pretty cool artist’s. From “Back N Forth” with Mic Terror to “I Get Down” with Ro Ransom. Production wise, my go-to producers are Skin N Bonez, Wiffleball Wilson, BaumBeats, and Herk Twist. I’ve gotten a new in-house producer recently that goes by the name of Super Chronic and I’ve done some tracks with him. It’s ridiculously cold too, can’t wait to drop it.

What is going to set you apart from the rest of the hip-hop game?

I feel as though being young is the new fad in the game right now, that’s what everyone is leaning towards so I can’t choose that. And everyone’s so caught up on being “real” that I can’t choose that either, but I feel as though my youthful, but gritty style will most definitely set me apart. Like, the fact that I can make a club banger/party song and then get serious on some real lyrical type shit will also make me a factor. Most artists have that one sound and they rock with it, and they’re known for that, but I feel as though I can do it all. Anything you throw at me, I can catch it & throw some fire right back at you.

Where can we find you at online? Twitter? Facebook?

My facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/jody2timez & you can follow me on twitter @JDYDFF (https://twitter.com/#!/JDYDFF) 

and I usually release random songs on my bandcamp, which is http://duffthegod.bandcamp.com/ & on youtube just search “Jody Duff” and some magic will pop up.

Any last words of advice to artists?

The only advice I could give to every artist out there, no matter your craft, just be yourself and grind.. Grind extremely hard my nigga. Nobody could ever tell you no if you won’t let them, and that’s real shit. You create your own destiny by how hard you work so make that shit happen. Work hard, play hard.

Any shout outs?

I would like to give a shoutout to everyone out there that fucks with me, everyone that can honestly say that they have put someone on with my music as well. All my niggas, my family, and my business partners too. Shoutout to Swank Publishing as well. Also, a huge shoutout to all the Chicago artists out here trying to eat man. It’s hella talent in my city so my last shoutout goes to Chicago as a whole.
