The CRecords Experiment

This is a little history about myself in a nutshell. I am a normal individual raised in a small border town in Texas (Del Rio). I currently reside in Dallas, TX, and was born in San Jose, CA. I've been in music since I was six (most of my family plays/sing to a certain degree) and have always been around live bands, orchestras, the education circuit and the "popular" circuit. By "popular" I mean what plays on the radio waves.

I play the guitar, bass, violin, and piano, and my main instrument is voice. I am currently finishing my Jazz Studies Vocal Performance degree at the University of Texas in Arlington, and have also acquired an Acting/Theater/Television Associates of Fine Arts Degree. I founded my own music production company in 2002 called C-Factory Productions, which is now branching out to become a record label named CRecords. About a year ago I teamed up with two great friends, Jonathon Camacho and his brother Oscar. We three are known as C-Factory Productions/CRecords.

Jonathon has a BA degree in Music Composition from the University of North Texas and Oscar has his Assoc. of Arts Degree in Recording and Engineering. Jon (Jonathon) and I both work with Linda Septien at Septien Entertainment Group (SEG) the vocal school featured in the book The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle (Which if you haven't read you should because it is an amazing compilation of EXTREMELY useful information for all types of talent from music, acting, sports, & mathematicians!!!) Linda Septien vocal coaches(ed) Stars such as Demi Lovato, Beyonce, Jessica Simpson, Hunter Parish.

C-Factory Started in my living room where I produced several bands then went to Jonathon's house, where we produced more. Now we are located in Dallas, TX on Dyer Street, a block and a half north of Mockingbird Station. This first blog is simply an introduction, so that you as a listener/reader, band member, promoter, manager, whatever your place in this industry can see that we are normal people, that have other jobs/school, in order to be able to ride this wave. We love and respect music immensely and we hope to spread not only our musical message but also the amazing journey we have been on.

In the future blogs I will be sharing experiences and information I have and am acquiring along the way that may help you with your journey. I will share studio experiences, marketing experiments, contests, music, websites, procedures, and company names in the industry that may help you further yours projects, and other nuggets that may be beneficial to you as well.

The only thing I ask of you is please share knowledge. Share on this blog about your blogs, your music, your experiences, and other information as well and share this information blog with others you might think will benefit. This is called the CRecords Experiment!!!
