| Joey Pero Goes Virtual with the Help of 7strategy Web Design Now the musical prodigy is stepping out onto the web to reach fans on a wider scale with the help of web design firm 7strategy. The website, which launched February 26, combines the colorful flavor of Joey's music with fun interactive features and brilliant color and design to create a site to be experienced rather than viewed. Fans can page through Joey's personal favorites, check out his updated tour schedule and read the story of his journey from the unfortunate run-in with his parents' stereo that he credits with launching his musical career to his appearances on-stage with the man who, for him, started it all-Maynard Ferguson and the Big Bob Nouveau. "Like so many young trumpet players, I grew up playing along with Maynard Ferguson's records, attempting to play the same screaming obbligato melodies that Maynard had mastered…As is often the case, there came a time when I realized that if I really wanted to have a career as an artist I would have to buckle down, not just play along with Maynard's records-although every once in a while I still do, " laughs Pero. "Hey, tranquility isn't always easy to come by!" Joey is also using his new web presence to launch his debut album "Resonance." The album features a wide selection of well known pieces uniquely reworked to blend classical and jazz with rock and pop in Joey Pero's own unique style. "The journey that is "Resonance" takes unexpected twists, turns and dips, and ultimately the listener's experience is both fun and elegant, " says Joey. "Resonance is about connecting people through music and taking a musical voyage that represents the many emotions and expressions that each of us can connect with." "Fans are flocking to the site, and sales of the first album are shooting up faster than anyone anticipated, " says 7strategy's Rasvir Mustan. For the past ten years 7strategy has been helping artists and small businesses establish a presence on the web through fully interactive web design and quality Internet marketing.
