About YAYA
Lisa Renae has that X factor that all performers, but especially singers aspire to. She and E-motion captivated Tampa and FL audiences at the turn of the century with "Love of My Life" and "Tell Me". I know because I engineered 25 mix CD's from DJ's back then and they all contained one or the other song, and were also featured on weekend mix / mash-ups, before I even knew they were a local concern ... read more

"So You wanna be a Rock Star, eh?" by: Glenn Roberts 1998 The music industry is not what it was pre-napster and ITunes. It is simply a fact of life. One of the last bands to get a pre-napster record deal would most likely be Green Day. Other bands now have to cave to the so-called "360" deal, which simply put includes downloads, streaming, merchandise, and of course Cd's as they do continue to exist, for how long is anyone's guess.Therefore, to have any chance of being signed you need to a) hire a known and trusted (by Label Executives) in LA, New York, or Nashville, perhaps even an entertainment lawyer to shop your demo CD (expensive and time-consuming that process certainly is)) b) be a producer / musician signed with a major publisher. This avenue is more difficult, because they don't accept unsolicited works for fear of litigation) or c) build a following on internet sites such as Reverbnation, ITunes, Soundcloud, Spotify, and the like to generate a high visibility of your brand, it's biography, musical style and the like. INCREASINGLY IMPORTANTLY...having your own commercial website which not only will allow labels, managers, agents, and publishers to see your "online advertisement" of your art (which is a visual work of art in and of itself) with a simple email or click of the mouse. Remember, the site must catch them with a beautiful design, but ultimately, it's your music, image, and most importantly, brand with the goal of the highest rank compared to the competitive bands online. Your rank on your social media sites earned by gigs, word of mouth, college / internet plays of your best single , and merchandise sales that will determine your revenue stream and online "footprint", as it were. It is those bands that best integrate your social media, upcoming gigs, blogs, in a word: message that consolidate all your online promotional efforts thus far into an actual .com professional musician band site. Then you can let the professional Label machinery with there advertising and marketing machinery will begin in earnest on your behalf. Lastly, it's an old adage but for a good reason, DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING without counsel or out of desperation. The stories are in the multitude of bands signing there career away on cocktail napkins, and now more then ever before it is necessary, whether you wish to or not, to treat your artistic venture as a business one. It is in my opinion The Golden Rule...Best Wishes Glenn Roberts mindsetenterprises@hotmail.com 727-392-9222
Besides what is on my page, I have a good 200 songs mastered plus 400 rap / poems. The music is Rap / dance / EDM / trip hop, but I can edit or add / subtract as needed. If I like what you're doing, money's not important up front. All my stuff is copywritten and published, but I hear the radio and it seems the same 4 guys make every song. Every one of mine is different. Some harken back to DMX what's my name to Dr. Dre and totally original. I appreciate the near 500k subscribers, but I want my legacy to let a true artist skip stages A,B,C-S,T and have something to shine on top of...That's all. You can call 7273929222 or better hit me on Facebook (expired link)
This is about you, not me, fellow travellers...Also have industry contacts and knowledge...Thanks
At the tender age of nearly 15 years, I started a fanzine entitled "The Melting Pot" from my Graphic's Department and Dad's private home office. In a paragraph, that was literally the "Big Bang" 2 years before Nirvanva changed everything. The prime directive was a sort of chain letter, trading magazine advertisements, as well as recieveing calls (at my family home by now from the manager's of (expired link)., Ice Cube, Tool, Korn,Jay Bentley from Bad Religion and dozens of others. Fugazi, Tool, White Zombie's managers etc. were calling to offer 2 backstage passes and a 45 minute interview myself vs. The main songwriters. I postulate it's success waas my questions were coming from the viewpoint of peers and not PR types. It was a heady time.
To say they were shocked at my multi-coloured hair and youthful EXUBERANCE was the truest of understatements, which was quickly dispelled by self-reliance (thanks Emerson) and sheer knoweledge and professionalism.
After a 2 decade intermission of learning my writing, musicianship, and business acumen...I have unearthed a 2 inch folder I thought was lost to history, only to re-emerge when I (and to some degree the culture itself) is primed for a serious effort to continue. The original comcept was to send ANY content and I would merely create the master copies to my then readership of 75k. Currently I have 527,000 followers on all my different platforms, and am not only ceding sole editorial control, but also wish to inspire ways of promotion and direct and mass marketing only dreamed of pre-internet.
My email is mindsetenterprises@(expired link) and phone is 727-392-9222 (until I spring for a PO Box and 1-800 #). Like any social media, the model is to reach as many as possible, while breaking even, or at least an acceptable loss, so much so that I believe in the fiber of my being in free expression. Won't you join me as we are cosmically all in this together, at this precise time and space?
Why not take that smaller extra step into thoughts, ideas, poetry, photography, and silkscreen T-shirts and flyers AS WELL AS cyberspace?. I liken this to a hacker collective for the forces of positivity, education, and promotion of free expression as oppossed to chaos, flexing power, purely for profit or political sway.
IT IS TIME TO CHOOSE SIDES, my friends..(intake that anyway you are inclined to)....

Greetings,
I sincerely hope one and all had a great Holiday season and are off to a wonderful start to your New Year! I took the liberty to add the best selling songs I produced for up and coming vocalists, singers and rap artists alike. Aside from that I also included never before listed EDM tracks from all three Europa releases: Enter The Realm, Beyond The Future, and Supernova. Please feel free to reply to this or friend me on Facebook at (expired link) . If you'd like to tell your friends I would be very appreciative, and also will send a CD for $4 of any one, or all 3 for $10. Please message me on Facebook or reply to this email at mindsetenterprises@(expired link) with your mailing address if you are interested. If you have a project that needs music or custom scoring, I do tht all the time and would be happy to oblige. The same goes for artists needing music for a demo or are missing a track for a release. Thanks once again for listening! Glenn aka Europa
My dream of fulfilling an online version of my 1990-1992 fanzine in which I interviewed Green Day, Rollins, White Zobie, The Ramones, and coultless more PLUS allowed all content (except hate or neo-nazi) to be once again...A True Melting Pot, just as our country is. Please feel fre to submite essays, poems, paintings, drawings...heck you decide. Band Profiles, Magazine profiles of whatever you have going on. I only ask if you wish to monetize it you keep it to 5$, but this is more about a grassroots community. Speaking of...I am certain all of you know 5-10 people youknow that can contribute to this so please forward this email to them. That way it will grow exponentialy. Don't get me wrong, it will be grassroots to a point, but I have a podcast interview with Author, gubernatorial candidate and front man for TSOL: Jack Grisham, plenty of other names, as well as stories of my own throught my music career. I would love nothing more than rather than complaining about TRUMP every dqay, we instead mobilize into a cohesive structure. I Hope others out there follow my lead and we start a family of online zines. I am about the movement...not the accolades. Please send to: mindsetenterprises@(expired link)
Read moreHello everyone and thanks for taking an interest in my music and other content,
I am in the process of setting up a blog / E Zine called Phoenix Rising, which I hope any of the artists, poets, photographers, and writers will be interested in contributing content too, since I have 360,000 hard won email address of you fine people. Naturally my own poetry, essays, and music will be on the site under the record and management/publishing concern called Millennial Entertainment, I very much want the diversity of other bands, solo acts etc music-wise, and any other content you would like to reach that number every month. Also, by adding your followers to mine and pooling our resources, in no time we can have a million followers per month and rest assured past volumes will be listed as new fans join the party, they can always go back and start from the initial launch. While many bands and artists subscribe to the myth that we are all in competition with each other, by cross-referencing our respective fan bases, we grow stronger as individuals and as a co operative, united front. Not to mention established record labels will look closer at an entity with such diversity of genres, talent, and flexibility. Labels today want artists to arrive with their audience already established, stage show ironed out if not a tour or two under your belt, and master recordings in hand. The days of artist development from the label are in the past, Ne'er to return. Keep that in mind when you consider sending either a record, photos, a biography, etc., or allowing us to do an interview with you...the end result is exposure; the life's blood of any artistic endeavor. Looking forward to meeting you and building something akin to Epitaph records who had the bands, songs, and power that could not be ignored. Thank you for reading this.

July 1 is the flagship 6 page online zine in which 2 of the best N1M artists of the moment will have a 1-1.5 page spread, and let's not forget an interview with our friends Green Day at the center to attract the most attention. As always, any pictures, drawings, photography, poetry, or short stories are always welcome. This time it will be featured on the site (expired link). A concerted effort including a massive push from 30 or more strategically placed SEO traffic operatives worldwide, thousands spent on Adwords a week prior to the EVENT, and of course, your word of mouth. To create the desired ripple effect, one has to determine if your band has the capability to take the orders via PayPal or credit card, or would you rather our staff handle the Point of Sale for 10 points per dollar. Talk it over with the band. Next, email your best 3 songs to mindsetenterprises@(expired link) , as well as any other aforementioned content (biography, live or posed shots, logos etc.). I have a 3rd LP release but I am postponing it until August soas not to take away from the independence day EVENT. I can shop the winner to various labels or you might find Mindset Music, Inc. to have all the love and support as the 1980's yesteryear labels done by artists we all know and love.

Read moreThings are on track for G Force Media corp. to open it's doors on June 1 (with the help of 5 comrades). I am also starting a blog and a once monthly online version of the Melting Pot (with shirts and hats to follow). The theme is of course music, fashion, culture, etc, but everything will be considered. If any of you draw, take pictures, write poetry or essays, etc, feel free to email me your material at mindsetenterprises@(expired link). Also, I will also be reprinting my early 90's rare interviews with Green Day, Ice Cube, Tool, and 20 others before they were household names, but I feel I must include new music, so if you have a project and would like to submit a one page biography or do a phone interview, I'd be happy to introduce you to my 1/3rd of a million followers I have accumulated over the last 12 years. So let's party like it's 1992 heroes! GFR
HI this is Europa. I have 30 years in the music game. I have just discovered a hidden file with like 50 more songs of this quality. I am adding guitar, keyboards, and percussion, but will have no way to get singers booked by years end. So In response to this. If you or anyone you know sings or raps. Email mindsetenterprises@hot (expired link) and I'll negotiate a fair price for a 3 pack, EP, or LP amount of fresh tracks to get you started. Glenn Roberts / Europa 727-392-9222
Read moreI have 250 state of the art songs of many genres, however I need Asian, Israeli,and Russian vocals to transform them form instrumental club jams to bonafide hits. Email mindsetenterprises@(expired link) and we can go from there. I have 30 years worth of experience, contacts, and whatnot to get things done quick...If you fit the bill, let's do this together! Believe in yourself!
Read moreFirst off, many thanks to the positive messages and emails over the past year. Besides the opporunities to tour with established groups from Southern CA, it seems that Las Vegas has a demand for the trance breaks - meets effect laden guitar that is Europa sounds, as much or more than Europe. I am looking forward to meeting local area musicians in March, however....I have a brand new 20 song set of pre-recorded dance trax with a live guitar, mic, and keyboard. I am looking for Las Vegas area female vocalists in the pop / dance arena, but the moment I arrive I intend to hit the ground running and play every venue I can while I can...Again, I appreciate the positive feedback and sales, and while a new LP is essentially finished, I feel I should do a 3 month full court press of my back catalgue to let all who matter that it is the dawn of new era for myself as an artist and the west coast for the music listening public. If you are based in LV, my email is mindsetenterprises@(expired link) if you'd like to establish contact before March. I am re-invigorated and ready to bring it and more to all the heroes! Glenn Roberts / Europa 727-392-9222 until 4/17....Peace
Read moreThanks to all that have visited my www.numberonemusic.com/yaya site and hopefully enjoyed and downloaded the music and shared it. I have a professional site (expired link) that will have about 500 songs at 50cents per and licensing and movie publishing options are welcome. THis came from my discovering 20 gigs of music I forgot I even composed. I will continue to try and cultivate artists (especially Latin, Israeli, and Asian), as the US industry is dry as the desert at the moment. If you or someone you know can sing or play an instrument, please feel free to add to my instrumental music I will have offerred by December. I certainly appreciate every fan and friend I have gained through this site and you may email me at mindsetenterprises@(expired link) and facebook (expired link). Thanks for your support!

Read moreMy name is Glenn Roberts aka Europa. I am founder of G Force Media. Briefly, my background consists of Mastering Engineer, Agent, Manager, Music Producer, Lyricist, and I own a web design frim called Calico-Tek among many other lucrative holdings....It should be evident that the major labels are content to bring 2000 era artists out over and over, and if you are lucky enough to get a break, chances are it is a one-hit wonder (such as Cage the Elephant, Come a little closer). With so much talent and that it is so diverse. I want to end the competition and form an alliance. By starting websites that cover the music and the scene rather than only your band, it all stands a better chance than more than your friends and family viewing it.
We are and have been in a new world. There will be no more U2's, Police, or Duran Duran's, etc. any longer. The only way to have a career in music or even entertainment is to join up as though we are the vast army of Persia under Xerxes against the 300. They got killed, it was a movie. The 300 are the majors and mainstream press. I got my start at 14 with a fanzine called The Melting Pot. I published all from 30 interviews ranging for Green Day to Bill Stevenson the drummer of ALL / Descendents, even major label acts such as White Zombie and Bad Religion. What I learned is there is no substitute for hard work and passion. If we ALL of US employ it, we cannot be stopped. First, you must have clear;lylr defined goals, and then execute them to essentially produce an act that will create a buzz. If not, perhaps music journalism or a myruiad of other careers is just as fulfilling.
My mission statement as if I were Jery McGuire, is to unite all these tiny tribes (if you will) into an army the size of Russia, China, and the USA combined. Both in capability and in population. I would now ask for every one who is serious about music or entertainment to email your goal, plan, and where you are to get there, and what is stopping you. My email add is mindsetenterprises@(expired link) Am I a messiah figure out to save art and culture. I hope but not at all taking it for granted and believing my own inner hype. The oppsiteof "divide and conquer is "unite and prosper". I could wrie another 50000 words but you get my drift....We are trying to start a movement and revolutionize the entertainment industry and dammit "ON OUR OWN TERMS". If you feel you have a special perspective or use for the cause...feel free to contact my office at 727-392-9222. Please leave a message or ask for Glenn...I will report and go into an outline in 14 days nased on the other out there who see this as a viable aklternative. Be safe, and express yourself as though that creation was the last one you had time for on Earth....Reach UR POTENTIAL...Let's all together FRIENDS!!!! Glenn F. Roberts aka Europa

About YAYA
Lisa Renae has that X factor that all performers, but especially singers aspire to. She and E-motion captivated Tampa and FL audiences at the turn of the century with "Love of My Life" and "Tell Me". I know because I engineered 25 mix CD's from DJ's back then and they all contained one or the other song, and were also featured on weekend mix / mash-ups, before I even knew they were a local concern. In a strange way, My band TEI (Thought, Emotion, Influence) and E-Motion were striving to be the first dance "band" at the time (roughly 1999), and though I'd been playing live guitar with DJ' at warehouse raves since 1993, I never could get a set together. They accomplished that and a recording and beat us by 6 months or so and had better songs, 9/10th due to Lisa.
I have had the pleasure of recording a single called "Paradise" which is currently #2 on www.numberonemusic.com/yaya in Fl after 2 weeks and is again 9/10 her just going off on a mic over my beats and a synth, and I shudder to think what we'd actually accomplish entering the realm of pre-production, into recording an EP or LP, but with her, I take what she is willing to give because certain talents earn that respect, and I am in no position, nor if I was, to bully her into creating, if it didn't feel right on her timetable. I can say we busted out a smash in 5 minutes and for that I am forever grateful as 99% of artists never get even there. Love you Lisa, and I hope we can produce many more...Glenn "Europa" Roberts
