Depression, Autism, Parkinson’s Disease, Stroke, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Cerebral Palsy, Veterans, Blind, and Hospice might ring a bell when you think of loved ones, but this prolific documentary demonstrates how powerful of a role music can play in treating theses populations.

“This documentary started as a song in my head about my personal inadequacies,” Warren said of his inspiration behind the project.

“Music has served as therapy for me throughout my whole life, but I never knew it was a viable health treatment option until recently. I was dumbfounded and disappointed that more people were not aware of Music Therapy and that’s when this project began. I decided to document my journey. Now a year later, you see…” he concluded.

TuneCore Senior Director of Artist Promotions and Strategic Relationships Chris Mooney shares Warren’s sentiment, adding, “TuneCore is excited about Kris Warren’s project and will be supporting his efforts by distributing the soundtrack through our broad digital music partner network. We will promote the release and the documentary to our partners within the TuneCore artist community.”

Having already secured footage in eight states within the U.S., Warren is now set to take his project abroad. As he looks to film internationally in Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Germany, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, Warren hopes to raise funds via his Kickstarter campaign, which supports his mission to bring awareness to Music Therapy.

For more information on the project, please visit www.musictherapydocumentary.com. To contribute to the cause, please visit http://bit.ly/musictherapykickstarter.

Check out an interview below with the founder of Galaxy Music Group, Kris Warren:

For those new to the name, who are you and what do you do?

Kris Warren is the name. I’m a filmmaker, music artist, and a marketing professional. I’m basically just a regular middle-class guy living his dreams.

You have an incredibly positive movement with ‘Music Is My Therapy’, how did you discover the necessity for this in the urban world and what was your creative approach to the overall project?

I actually wrote the song “Music Is My Therapy,” not knowing that music therapy was a real health treatment option. I always used music to pass through certain bumps in the road on the highway of life and to express myself. After the track gained some traction, I decided to Google ‘music therapy’ — That’s when my whole world changed. This was in August 2013. I immediately wondered why this was my first time hearing about music therapy. At that point, I decided to start researching music therapy and meeting with professionals in the field to learn more. Why not document the research, right? That’s how the documentary came about. It was completely impromptu and organic. As for the “urban world,” I am actually focusing on music therapy as a whole because we use music in every culture, so I think to classify or only market to the “urban world” does not do the documentary justice. We, as people, need to come together no matter where we are from and appreciate the benefits of music collectively. Music bridges gaps and brings people together.

A lot of rap artists don’t publicize their positive efforts within their community with the fear they may lose street credibility. How do you feel about positive influence within hip hop music?

It’s pretty annoying that people are worried about “street cred.” The traditional media doesn’t help this situation either. They actually fuel the fire. TI and Floyd Mayweather have an altercation and it’s front page news. Where is the story about TI and Mayweather’s work ethic and how these guys work their asses off to reach the top of their field? Nobody wants to talk about that though, right? So, I feel it’s up to the people to create and distribute positive media. Hence, the documentary. Growing up as a kid watching people’s moves, like Jay-Z, 50 cent, TI, and Nelly gave me motivation to not be bound to the typical stereotypes. All those guys I just named have their own brands and businesses outside of rap. They are people doing what they love to do and they create jobs for people. That’s hella positive. But where are all the stories on that?

Take us on your journey thus far, where have you filmed and what social issues have you focused on thus far?

I’ve filmed people and live sessions from all over the U.S. — Florida, California, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Arizona, Michigan and Colorado. Now we are looking to go overseas. I’m blending cultures. In a couple words, that’s pretty much it. I’m breaking down a lot of the stereotypical social barriers and letting people know we are all just the same and can work together. Music shows us that. It is amazing that music can bring people from different backgrounds into the same room. Think about attending a concert of your favorite music artist. There are people from all nationalities and cultures surrounding you. It makes it easier to immediately connect with someone you don’t know. No matter how different we think we are, we still have one thing in common: Music!

How has the response from music therapy professionals been thus far?

Great vibes. LOL. That pretty much describes the community. We are all trying to accomplish the same goal: Raising awareness for music therapy. When people met me face-to-face, I melted away some of the preconceived notions of certain people who were not initially on board. All the music therapists I met know I am just as passionate as they are and we are all on the same team.

As an independent artist, how have you been able to accomplish all of this on your own?

Yes, I’m independent in the sense that I’m not signed to any major label, but when it comes to my team, I’m far from independent. Look at some of the larger corporations, they have a person in each field to focus on what they do best. It’s all about focusing on your strengths and delegating the rest. I have people that help with press, graphics, consulting, etc. My success is their success. We are all trying to reach a common goal and be successful in our respective fields. That is what makes this thing called “independent” work. You can’t do it all by yourself.

Let’s talk about Kickstarter. Why did you decide to start one? How do you feel it will help the cause?

I wanted more people than just my next door neighbor to know about it. When you start involving people from other states and other countries, it’s a big deal. Our audience will be larger and more people will talk about it if it’s a worldwide movement. That’s exactly what we want. It’s all about awareness. Think about the World Cup and Olympics — People know about these events and talk about them worldwide because they both involve people from many countries. In order for us to effectively get the word out and make a substantial impact in the way people think, we have to market globally.

What is the end result for ‘Music Is My Therapy’ and what do you hope to prove or accomplish?

Right now, there are only about 6,000 music therapists in the U.S. Out of all the music therapists I met with, only two of them had heard about music therapy before college. That is a problem. More people should know at an earlier age that music therapy is a career option and also a health treatment option. The main goal is raising awareness.

Talk about the soundtrack. Will it mirror the project or will you cover additional topics? How will it differ from your EP slated to drop later in 2015?

The documentary in a whole stands alone from my personal music. These are two separate projects with two separate messages. Although in my upcoming EP entitled, When I Grow Up, I do talk about my journey and some of the relationships I made while filming this documentary. People have to realize my music is my personal therapy. The content I talk about in my music might make certain people feel uncomfortable or they might disagree with my point of views, but it’s my music that I make to express myself; I’m an artist. Regarding the documentary and the soundtrack, these will both be bigger than my music. The vision is bigger than my music. The songs on the soundtrack will be from me and other collaborators in the artist community, as well as a few music therapists. We will touch on some of the topics that are in the documentary like autism, Parkinson’s disease, coping with addiction etc. I’m very excited about the project. It’s going to be dope.

Where can we find the documentary and video clips online?

Straight on the website www.MusicTherapyDocumentary.Com. There’s also an exclusive clip on the Kickstarter page at http://bit.ly/musictherapykickstarter. The first clip shows a guy being able to sing a phrase, but not being able to speak it.

These days producers have some great outlets to post their beats online with hopes of major placements with artists as well as special licensing opportunities. Obviously the best way to make it big as a producer would be to network with artists on your own, but with the power of the internet producers can really amplify their own marketing efforts by using a few or all of these key websites.

1. iStandardProducers.com – iStandard Producers are a great partner of ours here at NIT, but they also have some amazing opportunities for producers. Once a member of their site a producer can submit beats directly to major label A&R’s for specific major artists’ albums. This direct line of communication with the A&R’s is a very unique experience. They also happen to run the largest Producer Showcase in the nation, powered by Monster Energy, which hits 40 major cities every year. If you are a serious Producer you NEED to be a lifetime member of this site! You can also sell beats directly on the site once a member, or just submit to showcase in your city for free!
2. BeatStars.com – Beat Stars offers some very cool promotional remix contests, to work direct with major artists on songs. This avenue is great because you end up working with the artist himself, rather than through a A&R.  They have also claimed to pay out over $500,000 directly to Producers who sell beats online on their site. Check them out, however there is a monthly fee to gain these benefits.
3. Music Dealers – One of our favorite resources for artists and producers, Music Dealers allows direct access to music supervisors for licensing deals, mainly for major TV and commercial campaigns. These can be HUGE opportunities for producers as many of the spots are for instrumental music only. The other huge benefit of licensing is not only are you paid and retain publishing, but a major brand may actually pay to advertise your music to MILLIONS of potential fans, driving direct sales for years to come! Join free and submit your beats now!

Another great site to shout out is RocBattle.com, started by our good friend and many many times Platinum/Grammy Winning Producer, Rocwilder!

The answer to that question for artists is usually “The music will set me apart”, however I am here to tell you that is the wrong answer. The music is obviously important to convert new fans, however when planning a promotion you need to take into account all the steps that a fan must get through to actually start listening to the music. Before a new fan can discover an artist they must first be presented with an proposition to reach the mixtape, meaning you have to put the project in front of them, whether email marketing, website advertising, social media, etc. the first step is for them to see your offering, typically in the form of an advertisement. Once the fan sees the ad, they will first decide whether the text or image of the promotion is worth clicking, this factor takes into account the buzz an artist has and the actual visual that accompanies the mixtape project. Then once the fan clicks the ad they will again have to be impressed by the landing page presentation before they will actually engage with the music. Once we have them here then we hope the music can speak for itself, that is up to the artist!

So to break down the first few steps further here are all the key elements of a successful mixtape promotion

1. Create the Music (Creating the best possible product is the first step, and this blog is not about telling you how to create, so that is up to you as an artist!)
2. Create the Visuals
   1. Mixtape Cover – The mixtape cover is THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect of the promotion. The mixtape cover will make up most of the other ads, email blasts, and of course on sites like Datpiff.com it is the only graphic present with the artists’ name and the only visual to rely on.
   2. Site Skin – This is a feature of key mixtape sites like Datpiff.com and Coast2CoastMixtapes.com, where most in depth promotions include a skin of the entire site. If you want to create a successful campaign this is a key ad unit to include in your plan.
   3. Advertisements – The most common sizes of ads are 728×90, 300×250 and 160×600 so create these sizes and implement with whatever marketing and promotion company you are working with, or do it yourself by creating an ad campaign in Google Adwords to display your ads on relevant sites across the internet.
3. Plan The Promotion
   1. Create Project Outline – At this step once you have you have the creative items completed it is time to develop the promotion. The first step is to pick a release date and work backwards from there to create a timeline for each step of the promotion. Typically you would want to pick a date at least 2 weeks into the future so you have time to partner with key promotion companies and have time to schedule your promotion with them. Email blasts typically have a schedule a few weeks out, so don’t expect them to send the minute you contact them.
   2. Find Strategic Partners – Most successful promotions will have a team behind them, so seek out a publicist, marketing company or a specific mixtape promotion company such as Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes Promotion to get all of the promotion items set up for you. If not pay attention to the next steps to be sure you are getting the most from your promotion!
4. Execute PR Campaign
   1. Email Blasts
   2. Website Advertising
   3. Social Media Promotions
      1. Facebook – Facebook ads are a great way to get some more engagement with your project, they even help you create an ad once you upload a post about your project. This self service solution can be used by anyone, so once the project is out be sure to check out the Facebook Ads!
      2. Twitter Ads – Again their self serve solution can do wonders for your project. Get out there and experiment!
      3. Instagram – With a possible 1 to 1 share ratio Instagram shows the most promising return, however you cannot link to your project in with your picture post. So best would be to create engaging pictures and then link to the project in your bio of your instagram so users can go there to quickly access the project. Use sites such as TrackClipper.com to make short videos for each song of your mixtape to share with fans.
      4. Automation – It is always best to schedule regular promotions for your project, using tools such as Hootsuite makes this easy to execute promotions across multiple platforms and accounts. Create an educated campaign to send tweets at the best times of day to get the best results!
      5. All Other Social Networks – Get on as many as possible!
5. Analyze Results
   1. Be sure you have systems in place to track results and links. Use tracking links such as bit.ly so you can see the amount of clicks each type of social media is sending you. Also compare results across all mixtape platforms for plays, shares, comments, downloads, etc.
   2. Use the data to make a better plan for next time!!

Even using all of these methods can garner less than spectacular results, the important thing is to keep grinding it out and releasing music using an educated plan until the plan, music and fans come together to make the perfect storm and get your mixtape out virally to millions of fans!

PS I will be adding more to this article as we go, there are many more pieces that need to be explained further!
