Musician Insider Secrets: The Low Down on Social Media Exposed in 5 Easy Tips You might be like many of the musicians that contact me every day about social media . Maybe you don't understand Twitter or Vine , maybe you grew up in the analog era and are intimidated by social media, or maybe you are an expert and just love finding new ways to use social media.  Here are a few tips that have helped me succeed in social media music marketing: 1. Don't Be Afraid The Internet can seem to be a crazy place where everything from contortionist elephants to global terrorism fights for your attention.  Don't be afraid to conquer and control your web presence through smart marketing.  What this means is that you need to find what social media platforms work best for you and are the most organic for your audience. What this also means is that from now on you need to treat the Internet like a marketplace, not a place for rants and inappropriate images.  Watch Soci...

Just thought I'd share a few thoughts about being a "girl drummer" I had the other day while jamming on the steering wheel in my car. Hope you enjoy, and add your own comments at the end! Would love to hear what you think!  You know you are a "girl drummer" if.... 1) You have to devise a special way of crashing hand cymbals together without pinching "the girls" 2) You had a nickel for every time a guy rolled his eyes when you sit behind a drumset you could buy a private jet 3) You love to see the looks on fan's faces when they see you tear up the drums 4) You have ever pictured your ex-boyfriend's face on a drumhead as you beat it to shreds 5) You can coordinate all four limbs to play along with the radio as you drive to your next gig 6) You have ever tried to not look awkward while you squeeze yourself into a marching  drum harness (ouch!) 7) You have ever wondered why they make all congas in "extra tall" 8) You...

Needed a Lizard Warrior for my latest commission Destiny: Eondwyr. Making it in Moviestorm .  http://sabrinapenayoung.blogspot.com/ I enjoy using Moviestorm and machinima because it is so simple to work with and easy to use, plus kinda fun! I've been using animation for many, many years, using programs like Poser , Moviestorm, DAZ , Bryce , After Effects , and Final Cut pro to create animation. I have even used the Sims for a few video pieces. Maybe its the love of film that makes me really want to immerse myself in both the visual and the audio. Or maybe its just because I like to have fun when I create!
