Derek,
Great story - inspiring stuff! And I like the ideas you've got in regards to eventually making CD Baby more global. That's awesome.
Wishing continued success to you, your team, and all indie artists,

PS - Oh yeah, in regards to my "Unsigned Artist" spot in Keyboard Magazine...I must say that without CD Baby being in my corner and making my music available to everyone (thus, increasing sales in ways I never would have imagined), it's quite possible that my album "Digital" would've never seen the light of day...if I had to figure out all of that distribution stuff on my own. So, thanks again!

Thanks for sharing. Now OZ sees why you said "WOW"
about the proffessor who cried bitterly.

Is it still true that CDs account for 90 percent of the sales here? I
would have guessed that digital had picked up a bit more than
that.

What a superb and inspiring article. It really motivates one to reach for the stars with your name on it, doesn't it?
Thanks again Derek, for all your hard work on behalf of independent artists everywhere. Your dedication and passion for your work is unsurpassed.
Bravo!

Definately one of the last standing hero's for independent musicians. Very cool read. I've been reading all these books lately by people who follow their heart with great determination and will ( Dean Karnazes, Lance Armstrong). With just one life to live, chasing your dream with passion is the only way I want to go. Derek's words, "Pay close attention to the compass in your gut. Do the work that's most exciting to you, because that's what you will do best" is spot on.
Finally, for motivational purposes only:
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at the least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Thanks Derek

Hey Derek!! That was really inspiring. I went to Berklee my self
and tried to get the best of it. I did Filmscoring and CWP and
now I'm trying with my solo project making music that is real in
spite of so many things, I keep believing that there is a way to
communicate with the world through creation weather it is
music software, anything. Doing what you love .
CD Baby is really helping me and Host baby is an amazing tool
!!!

Dear Derek,
Thanks for creating an online music sales website. CDbaby helped increase my debut's popularity in the world wide web, and helped a lot of music fans out there experience all sorts of sounds. It would be cool to have a CDBabyVideo site where artists could put up music videos to sell too. Music Videos are way cool too.

Not fake real non screwing of musicians brings a company success that Berklee realizes as a fine and reputable institution themselves.
