After Midnight Project is a hot band from LA that recently started using SayNow. Over the weekend, they sent personal replies to at least 13 of their fans! Their single “Take Me Home†is featured in the XBOX 360 game “Prey†and their music has been licensed to ABC, NBC, and MTV.

Country + Hip Hop = Hick Hop. I didn’t know there was such a thing, but that’s what Cowboy Troy calls his music. Growing up in Texas, he listened to a lot of country and rock, but was also a fan of rap and hip hop so the fusion made sense to him. The catchy Hick Chick Dance Mix is the first single off his new album Black in the Saddle and you can check out the video below
Cowboy Troy is also the co-host (with Jewel) of Nashville Star. He recently signed up with us and has been sending messages back to fans who call and leave him messages!

Here’s a broadcast that Tyrese sent out last night and some really sweet responses from his fans. (click the play button on the banner to the left to listen)
It made us really happy to hear that his fans are inspired and motivated by his messages…and to know that he’s using SayNow for something more than just another “celebrity fan club.”
It’s rare to find people like him who care to the extent that he does and who use their influence to have a positive impact on other people’s lives. It makes all of our work here worthwhile!
(You can listen to more of his broadcasts and messages from other fans over here: http://saynow.com/blackty)
UPDATE: A couple folks have asked if they can get Tyrese’s message player above for their MySpace page…so if you want it, copy and paste the embed code below.
Our man Tyrese Gibson sends word that he has a new number (818) 287-8968. He says he’ll only be checking messages at the new number. The old one will be disabled soon and you won’t get new messages from him unless you call the new one.
Even if you don’t have something to say to him right now, you should call so you get notified when he sends a new message (if you were getting messages from his old line and still want to get them!)
One of the neat things about working at SayNow is that we get to listen to a lot of new musicians and help them get the word out about their music (as well as keep in touch with their fans). Joanna Cotten is a talented new country artist from Memphis who draws her inspiration from a diverse set of influences: rock, blues and gospel, as well as country. I just added her to my playlist for my trip to the Eastern Sierras next weekend (because of course, there’s nothing better than driving through the high desert and listening to really good country music).
She just left a message on her MySpace page telling fans to call and leave messages for her (instead of sending email) so she can check them while she’s on the road promoting her new single (click the last message on the MySpace player to hear it).

She just left this message on her SayNow line.
You can let her know what you think of her new single by calling her number (917) 934-3319. The news also showed up in the newsletter below that went out to her fan club and on her website!
So, needless to say, we’re super excited here :-)
UPDATE: If you’ve got comments for Alicia, please call her at (917) 934-3319 and tell her what you think (Don’t leave your comments here! She’s not gonna see them here! Thanks!)
Soulja Boy is an artist that Loren (our fab artist relations guru) noticed a while back because he was getting a crazy number of messages…and he didn’t even have a dedicated SayNow number - just a text-in code and our flash badge on his MySpace page. He now gets more people calling in to listen to his messages than anyone else! So of course we had to give him a number.
Anyways he just sent this message a few minutes ago…apparently, he wants the ladies to know he’s “looking.” (We’re just tryin to help him out here…so go to it ladies :-)

Edison Glass is one of our favorite bands on SayNow. They’ve got a smaller audience than a lot of the major label artists who’ve signed up with us, but we think this band is going places….not just because they’re really talented musicians, but also because they’re genuinely reaching out and connecting with their audience.
Recently, they’ve been trying our Connect Live feature and it sounds like they’re having fun with it!
We’ve been getting requests for Chris Brown on SayNow since we launched last year, so we’re pretty psyched to say he’s finally got a number. It was announced on his website last week and so far over 17,000 fans have called in! Woo!

Just spotted this on Cassidy’s MySpace page. Cassidy is looking for new talent and asking fans to call and hit him with their hottest 16 bars. The best freestylers win a call back and a chance to record with him - he’s using his SayNow number to hold auditions over the phone. Listen up below
Cassidy got his start by appearing on mix tapes and doing freestyle battles so it’s pretty cool that he’s doing this!

UPDATE: More news about it on the Rap News Network and HipHopRuckus.
Styles of Beyond is a super talented group from LA and you’ve probably heard their song “Second to None” if you recently saw the Transformers movie. (All of us at the office went to see it the day it came out cause we’re geeky like that.)
Check out these sweet promo pieces they’re giving out on their Projekt Revolution tour. They’ve got their number on them…and they’re promising a good time :-)
I think they need to send me tickets to their show. (That’s right, I have no shame…if you see this guys, hook me up, I want tix!)

Recently, Vanae (who helps recruit and support a lot of our artists and fans) noticed a spike in new subscribers for the band Edison Glass and was wondering why. So she checked out their MySpace page and saw that they just put up a profile pic that includes their SayNow number (which means it shows up everytime they send a MySpace message or bulletin). Given that a person’s profile pic is the first thing people look at when they land on a profile page, that was pretty smart!
