I think what needs to be clear here is that the package I am offering is for promotion and not management. It is a business I am running, so a fee has to be put in place for this to make it sustainable, but they are the lowest rates possible as I realise most independent acts do not have huge amounts of funds available. If I was to offer a band or artist management though, it would be the standard route of a percentage cut, and no up front fees.
As for being genuine, there are a list of testimonials by bands and artists I am working with on my website www.deucemp.com/testimonials.html , I have a radio show being broadcast on over 25 stations around the world which ensure all bands/artists promoted by Deuce receive radio exposure www.deucemp.com/deuce_show.html and I have included above a TV interview I had on US TV so people can put a face to me.
I know from my own experience there are a lot of unsavory characters and companies in the music industry who promise the world and do not deliver. Nobody can guarantee a band or artist success, but I have now got Deuce into a position where I can guarantee them exposure, and who knows where that may lead to in the future....
Management is also in place for some Deuce Acts through our sister company DRM Music Group www.drmmusicgroup.com Management has been offered to them as a result of the Deuce Package as through it, we have been able to gauge feedback received from radio stations/listeners and their proven professionalism.
Here's hoping this post will finally put to rest any doubts people may have about my company's integrity....
