| Janet Lee Myatt Joins Undiscovered Artists! Janet Lee Myatt has recently signed with Kim Venturo, American Agent for Undiscovered Artists! Undiscovered Artists! is a division of Satellite Broadcasting Network, a European satellite radio company based in Italy. Janet has been performing since she was a child. She grew up in a musical family and from the age of 6 began performing on stage in theatrical groups, choirs and rock bands. For many years Janet performed in an acoustic duo doing cover material until she began writing her own material in the spring of 2000. Since that time, Janet has had the awesome experience of working with talented Nashville producer, Jerry Cupit, she has released two full-length CDs and she is currently performing with her band in the San Francisco Bay Area. "The music I listen to and have been influenced by ranges from 60's rock bands like the Beatles and the Stones to blues artists such as Bonnie Raitt and BB King. I'm also a big fan of Sheryl Crow, Chris Isaak, and Lyle Lovett -- to name a few. My family is originally from Tennessee and so I have an affinity for Appalachian music and country artists like Emmylou Harris and Patty Griffin. Throw in my love for black gospel music and spirituals and you could say my influences are widely varied! As a result, my music reflects that variety -- some songs have a definite bluesiness to them, others have more of a pop/rock sound while still others lean towards contemporary folk. "I like to write about what's important to me and it has been a thrill to discover that so many other people out there relate to the same things I do!" Undiscovered Artists! is an unprecedented opportunity for unsigned and independent label artists to get the exposure, airplay, and the fan base that they need worldwide. Ms. Myatt www.janetleemyatt.com is thrilled to be added to the Undiscovered Artist! roster. She is excited about the opportunity to make new fans and to be part of this new and exciting unprecedented music outlet for indie artists. Satellite Broadcasting Network is the Internet and soon-to-be satellite radio service for Europe and then Asia. SBN is comparable to XM or Sirius satellite radios in America; however, satellite radio service has never existed outside of America until now. SBN has the monopoly of Europe, and will begin Asian service next. SBN just inked a deal and will now be distributed in Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey. .Europe is at least 10 years behind America, and they have not even had their own Internet radio until now. SBN will have all of their programming translated into the 40 European languages that exist in the 25 European countries thus eliminating the language barrier that is present for any European that travels. Undiscovered Artists! premiered worldwide at South by Southwest in March 2006. It is solely designed for the promotion and exposure of unsigned and independent artists. Undiscovered Artists! is the only promotional company of its kind that does not require the artist to waive their right to royalty fees. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
