It’s a beautiful thing when you walk away from something as simple as a local concert and realize that you got to witness something magical. It’s truly astounding when you can’t sleep that night because the memories of the sounds are still vigorously pounding at the front of your brain. It’s better when the experience was so good, you don’t even care about turning it off.

It was a quiet Sunday night when we met Sara Nelms. She looked a little tired, but still cute and collected, especially considering she had come right from her “day job”, as she calls it – showing somewhat of a real life manifestation of the frustration behind Clockin’ Out, her relatable and entertaining tune about the “pointless misery” of being somewhere due to obligations rather than desire. Despite this, with Sara around, there were still plenty of giggles and a lot of banter going on at our table.

Before the interview, I listened to all of Sara’s songs on her Myspace several times. As we got to know her throughout the night by means of her answers to our questions and casual conversation, I felt that she aligned perfectly with the character her music created in my mind. This was not only a relief to me, but it also made me realize what a special thing it is when an artist’s personality really shines through their music, rather than only offering somewhat catchy beats and lyrics the general public can relate to. When you feel like a little piece of the artist goes into a song, it attracts you. It’s an even better thing when they can do this on top of said catchy beats and good lyrics.

As you may have seen in our portfolio, we recently launched ellerevue.com, the brand new site for a high energy song and dance show that combines the Las Vegas style with the best of what makes Nashville unique. Everybody is quite happy with the way this site turned out, from the flowing swirl animation to the nice page transitions to the absolutely beautiful photography. If you ever get a chance, go see their show!

“Singing is a passion, that’s what I want to do,” Rachel Farley told us.

You might hear this line a lot, but in some artists there is a certain visible hunger to make music their life. It’s oxygen to them. Any casual observer can see that cutting these types of artists off from their dream simply cannot and will not happen if they have any say in it, and therefore, they will do everything - jump over every hurdle, overcome every fear, tap into every emotion – to make it work.

Rachel Farley is one of these artists. Oh, and she’s twelve years old.

If the fact that someone of such tender years is already aware of what they want to do with their life makes your jaw drop, then just listen to her voice and the words that comes with it for a few minutes - that mandible will be on the floor.

While we obviously can never guarantee any particular result in an SEO campaign, we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished for Jason Christopher, a Los Angeles-based fashion photographer. We helped him with the structure of his site some time back, and we’ve provided ongoing SEO services to him for a while (his site is in our portfolio, by the way). We recently checked up on his Google rankings, and the results impressed even us:

• los angeles fashion photographer: page 1, #5 & #6
• los angeles fashion photography: page 1, #2
• fashion photography los angeles : page 1, #8
• fashion photographer los angeles: page 1, #1

It probably depends on which actual Google server you happen to hit (”fashion photography los angeles” in particular kept changing from page 1 #1 to page 1 #8, so we’re listing the conservative one), but this is indeed good news: Number one on Google! We couldn’t be happier for Jason. Of course, Google will eventually redo their algorithm, and we’ll have lots more work to do, but for now, Jason’s at the top of the world.

When Briana Lynn Hardyman opened her mouth to show my family what happens when she sings, a spellbound silence fell over every member. The fact that such a level of passion and authority could come from the gentle young lady she appeared to be while talking thrilled all of us in an unexpected way; perhaps the fact that Hardyman’s voice amplified as well in our living room as the average artist’s does in a recording studio excited us because we were comforted that true talent still exists. Maybe we all felt sort of special in that privy-to- secret-information sort of way since were got the chance to hear a potential voice of the future before general society did. Though we may have been at a loss for explanation and could do nothing but applaud genuinely, Briana had just the right words to say about her impromptu mini-concert - “I’m so lucky, I get such a personal audience tonight.”
