For you who are interested in distributing a CD, I have to say that you should take a look at CDBaby. Their service is absolutely amazing! If you have a CD and you want it to be on Spotify or iTunes, it is just about impossible to do it yourself. You just can’t call Spotify and say that they should have your CD. It doesn’t work that way. If you belong to a record company, they will take care of that. But, if you don’t have a recording contract? So, for a very small fee, CDBaby will take care of all that for you. So, you send your CD to CDBaby or upload your digital CD and after a few weeks the CD is on Spotify and iTunes!

Once you have your CD on Spotify, you will soon see that you don’t get much money from them. But, that is another story…

This week seems to be busy

This week, I plan to play the open mic at Dubliner (please come down) today.

Maybe I will be at Gamle Port tomorrow if it is open.

And on wednesday I will head over for the open mic at Calor and perhaps play at Västerhus earlier that evening.

I have finished a new song that I will be playing. A song about California and my High School days in Bakersfield.

Working on CD cover

All songs are mixed, the CD is mastered. Now my team is working on the CD cover (team – I guess it is my kids and friends). We made a photoshoot in the kitchen and I used an app on my Nokia Windows phone that changes photos so they look like drawings. The picture below will probably be the one I use for the CD cover. I think it looks great. Just like a drawing and the guitar headstock looks really sharp. Another new item is that I got my own domain. This page is now on thorstenjakobssonmusic.com

Hello friends! I have been working on my first solo CD for one and a half year now. I have finally recorded ten songs, mixed them and with the help of Eric Uglum in California got it mastered.

Alberto Fuentes Bigcal has helped me with harmony singing and so has my wife Kajsa.

I have decided to call the project “This Is My Country”.

Now, I need to create a CD cover and after that distribute it so you can either buy it on cdbaby or listen on Spotify.
