a little bit of gilli moon monthly in your inbox
May 2012

G'day peaceful warriors, gilli moon here.

Hot off the press: If you're in Wollombi 4pm today, hop on down to the Cultural Centre for the Art Exhibit. Details below!

Did you know I've been sending out this newsletter, on a monthly basis, for 12 years, month in month out? Wow! That's 144 editions, give or take a few. Just goes to show the longevity of an Artist Owned Record Label, like mine. Warrior Girl Music was born in the year 2000 and since then we've released 6 albums for me, 3 albums for other artists, 4 compilations (Females On Fire series, and Art of Men), and 11, soon to be 12, Songsalive! CD Samplers (promoting songwriters); Plus produced 10 artist albums, and copious Album art. Not to mention 2 books, several world tours, a songwriters expo, a women's music festival, and coaching hundreds of artists globally in their careers.

It's good to take stock of the successes, don't you think?

I remember when the word "indie artist" was very new, and I was one of those artists. It's a fine achievement to be one of those who've helped pave the way to now what is seen as 'normal'. Back when I started, it was very avant garde, and even poo pood, to go outside major label seeking route. "Do it yourself? You've got to be kidding," they would say. Well, here I am, and here I STILL am.

About to do: Art exhibitions on both sides of the Pacific starting today; Radio Play in Japan; A request for help in our Grant seeking for Skillz; Songwriting workshops; A summer gig; and my new blog, "How much are you worth?"; Also, promoting a few things for artists below too.

Hope you enjoy my eNews! For all the Mothers out there, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.

Los Angeles Women In Music (LAWiM) a non-profit organization here in California,  collects CDs throughout the year for our troops on behalf of Operation Gratitude (www.opgratitude.com). The CDs go in the Patriotic Drive and Holiday Drive care packages that are sent to individually named U.S. Service Members deployed in hostile regions, to their children left behind, and to Wounded Warriors recuperating in Transition Units. Recently, Warrior Girl Music, Gilli's label, contributed 1300 Compilation CDs to LaWim's efforts, -  CDs of the Females On Fire series (1,2 and 3) and Art of Men. We are proud to participate in this program, knowing that this gift of music will help put a smile on a soldier's face, lift their spirits, and let them know that the men and women who serve our country are not forgotten.

The FEMALES ON FIRE music compilation series, founded by Gilli Moon, celebrates close to 100 talented female artists from around the world, and is a vehicle and platform for female artists to be heard and shine, dedicated to messages empowering femininity, human equality, love, communication and vitality. THE FEMALES ON FIRE CD’s mission is to create, promote and manage unique artistic creations guided by the artist's vision and under the artist's direction; creations that transcend race, age or gender and embrace passion, love for music and life, personal excellence and global consciousness.

in the media

Gilli Moon writes a no-holds-barred portrayal of the trials of being a successful artist in a world of global commerce, instant interconnectivity, and even shorter attention spans in this Youtube generation. Still, she manages to keep the reader from feeling overwhelmed with a just-do-it attitude and the kind of confidence that can push a mouse to tame a lion. You won't hear anything cliche from Gilli, either. She's all about the reality of the music world. Just Get Out There is the most insightful book on the industry today, and a prime tool for anyone seeking success in the arts, or success in finding themselves....I make no exaggeration to say that it's the best book on the industry I've read. - James Rushin, Music Gear Review

"Prepare to enter the stillness of gilli moon, where the only thing moved is the listener... Life is like a drug for gilli moon, and the passion that courses through the veins of ‘the stillness’ is the same life-blood that created the pyramids, brought humankind to outer-space and fathomed individual expression through the arts.

How much are you worth?

by gilli moon

How much are you worth?
I remember when I only had $600 in my bank account and I felt wealthy and abundant because I didn't owe anyone any money. Being rich is not necessarily about money.
Do you feel wealthy? Have you ever thought about how much you are worth?
Don't buy into the buzz that you have to lack, or that you are just one of the minions that must go without due to the 'economic crisis'. Believe in your self and your WORTH.

Mar 2012

G'day peaceful warriors, gilli moon here.

The weather is warming up in LA, but we have cool nights. Perhaps I can swim in the ocean and go snow skiing in one day? It's been done before! This year has already kick started into gear. We started off with a wowzer of a show at NAMM to about 1000 peeps in Jan, and then have spent the last few months writing songs, getting my TV hosting chops on (more about that in upcoming months) and working out how we are going to fit a grand piano in the living room (I love these kinds of problems!).

About to do: Beautiful show for the LA Women in Music on Wed March 14 at M-Bar; heading to San Francisco around May, and working on my own Webizode, delivering to you very soon...

Of interest in this enews: I've got a cool blog below about my thoughts on Whitney Houston, but really it's about a lot more... the music business, my story, and how I see it all. More about my book, Just Get Out There, and how to find my music. Also, promoting a few things by my friends below too.

gilli moon in the media

So, i was fooling around on iTunes (by the way, their Ping network is awesome, come friend me through iTunes ping!) .. and I discovered some cool reviews from listeners on my new album... woah!

Listener reviews of "the stillness" on iTunes:

"Such a VOICE! by jopeachiz - Gilli's music is full of sweetness!! Her voice and the melodies are so kind and warm, I enjoy listening to this Album at ANY time of day, but especially at night to relax to her sultry woos. "

"Sweet album! -  by Sarah Tudzin This is a very fun easy listen. There are some excellent tracks, including several pop ballads. Gilli Moon is really heartfelt and talented, I would suggest this record to all of my friends!"

Aww shucks, fans. I'm speechless. Very nice to reach these especially when I didn't expect it and I love reading these more than journalist reviews in the media as it means SO MUCH MORE to me. I write and create my albums for my listeners. Thank you so much!

Whitney Houston and the death of my own childhood music business fantasy
by gilli moon

Whitney Houston died. When I heard the news, I cried. Tears poured down my face. I had to sit and think why this affected me so much. Was it that she was famous? Was it because she was such a talented singer? Was it because she was relatively young (48)? Was it because I liked her music? I'd say it was all of these, but more importantly her death, and leading up to her death, her unquestionable demise as a pop star, including her drug addiction problems, represented an unspoken distaste I have for the music business.

Specials by my friends

Continuing the  plug for my husband's new album, "Ambitions of a Writer", by J.Walker. It really is a fantastic 10 song disc of hip hop, yet intelligence infused, songs and spoken word pieces. I really can't razzle it enough save for the fact that I co-wrote 2 of the songs and produced a song. Yep you will hear me on the record even beyond just the 2 songs as I lend my vocals here and there. You can get it at www.rhymecology.com and www.itunes.com/j.walker

 And J.Walker is also conducting a WORKSHOP this Saturday in Los Angeles:

Rhymecology Meet Up Group: Saturday 3/10/2012 1pm-4pm $15.00 - Sherman Oaks.
Hosted by "The Rhymecologist" J.Walker.
The mission of the Rhymecology focus group is to use the power of
hip-hop lyrics and culture to help lyricists of any level discover and
create themselves as artists and human beings.

The Pitch: The world of the structure, content and rhyme schemes in hip-hop lyrics have changed dramatically. Simple rhyme schemes and generic topics just don't cut it anymore. Lyrics are immediately put under a microscope and there no leeway for emerging artists to take their time to grow. Get prepared NOW with multi-syllabic rhymes/outside the box topics/freestyle secrets and lyric writing exercises.

Sessions: Rhymecology sessions will be interactive and thought provoking. We have listening sessions, listening to each other as well as talented
lyricists throughout hip-hop history. We will push each other to reach
greater lyrical heights while still respecting everyone's perspective level
of writing. Sessions are at least two hours long, more often slightly over
three hours.
. Lyric Writing Exercises
. Multi-Syllabic Rhymes
. "Outside the Box" Topics
. Freestyle Secrets
. Expanding Creative Content

G'day peaceful warriors, gilli moon here.

Getting ready for some time out down-under but not before I tell you a few awesome things that have happened and are about to happen in 2012. Let's jump right in...

So, what have I been up to? Well in a nut shell - song writing, speaking at the Taxi Road Rally and Musicians Institute to artists about gettin' in the biz and becoming artist entrepreneurs; helped m hubby J.Walker launch his fabulous new album (details below). We had a sell out concert at The Mint in LA on Nov 29 and also celebrated the Songsalive! Holiday party with 14 hot songwriters. What a night it was. Review below.

I've made a silly short film too, with my arch nemesis Fleur Flem and introducing to the world, new character Tina Tickleopolis. Scroll down to watch the Thanksgiving Flik and get ready to giggle!

Oh my gosh, I found out that my single, "I'm Alive" from "the stillness" album claimed Number #1 slot on Music Research. This is where they survey thousands of people on songs (normally on behalf of Labels) to test the songs for hit value. Wow! Now, I may not be #1 on that radio station you keep hearing, nor #1 album at the Grammys, but let me tell you that being # 1 on Music Research is AMAZING as it defines what people want to hear by the taste makers. This is BIG in Music Industry standards.... More on that below!

About to do: Just got confirmed to perform at NAMM again on January 21. This has to be one of the world's premier music conferences and we have prime spot! And on Dec 14 (next Wednesday) I will be in Orange County again for a show so, friends and fans, come on out! See below. 

Looking for that perfect holiday love song? Grab my single "Merry Christmas My Love" as a download or ringtone. I know you want it!

Hope you enjoy my eNews! Read on....

gilli moon in the media

PERFORMER MAGAZINE: The Genghis Cohen got a taste of “the thunder from down under,” when Australian musician gilli moon performed this past Thursday night.  Moon has lived in Los Angeles for the past 10 years and continues to produce albums that speak volumes to her audience.   She has total of six records under her belt and sang a number of selections from her catalog.  She also performed some great hits from her most recent release, The Stillness.

Moon’s passion for not only her own music, but music in general, was obvious as she performed with a sense of joy and confidence.  Snaps and claps filled the venue, coming from both the audience and Moon herself.  Moon’s songs were relatable to every woman in the crowd, as she sang from the heart about the pain of heartbreak and the struggle to find yourself during chaotic times.

Moon began the set with songs off her previous albums.  Those tracks were filled with honest messages of struggle and self-doubt.  She took the stage, headed over to her piano and belted out “Release Me,” from her 2005 release, Extraordinary Life. Like a self-therapy session, she seemed to calm herself and embrace the struggle as she delivered music from The Stillness. The central message of the album is the need for inner peace within oneself and to learn from past mistakes.

It was as though the crowd was watching Moon morph from a girl into a woman right before their eyes.  The tracks seem to solve all the immature, but normal problems that a girl faces during the journey of self-discovery. Her music makes us realize that the answers to our struggles can’t be found in others, but within ourselves.

gilli moon - Number One with song "I'm Alive" on Music Research.

Thrilled to be Number One with my song “I’m Alive” on Music Research. This is where they survey thousands of people on songs (normally on behalf of Labels) to test the songs for hit value. Wow! What's exciting about this, is this rating is given by those who participate Record Test music surveys and record companies pay these kinds of companies to do testing by listeners on new singles before they send it to radio/the market. Well, my song is #1 and that means it's HIT VALUE! ~ gilli

Album - THE STILLNESS
by gilli moon
"Prepare to enter the stillness of gilli moon, where the only thing moved is the listener... Life is like a drug for gilli moon, and the passion that courses through the veins of ‘the stillness’ is the same life-blood that created the pyramids, brought humankind to outer-space and fathomed individual expression through the arts. Simply stated, Ms. moon has tapped into Maya, and is here to share it with all who are open and receptive.”

A plug for my husband's new album, "Ambitions of a Writer", by J.Walker. It really is a fantastic 10 song disc of hip hop, yet intelligence infused, songs and spoken word pieces. I really can't razzle it enough save for the fact that I co-wrote 2 of the songs and produced a song. Yep you will hear me on the record even beyond just the 2 songs as I lend my vocals here and there. You can get it at www.rhymecology.com and www.itunes.com/j.walker

Today's blog: Giving Thanks

We seldom give thanks, really. We shuffle through our days, our weeks and months in the act of doing. Rarely do we take time to stop and smell the roses, and give thanks except for the one Holiday a year, Thanksgiving. But we shouldn't have to wait for that day to be thankful. Every day can be filled with thanks.

Not only should we thank others, but we should thank ourselves. We should take stock of who we are and who we've become and celebrate our victories, even the small ones. Appreciation of where we've come, along the long path of self-discovery, is so important.

It's easy to give thanks, once we understand how easy it is. It can be for 1 minute a day. Hug yourself, look up to the heavens and say, "thank you universe for giving me permission to be who I want to be, and discover new things, today. Thank you for my growth, and my own self-awareness. Thank you for all the little miracles that add up to one big whole awesome ride, called life."

Whether you believe in God, or Mother Nature, or the Universe, or none of it, there is every reason to give thanks. Start today, with just a minute, to show your gratitude of YOU, the awesome being that you are.

Now, that I've taken that moment, feeling warm and fuzzy and wonderful as a human being, I want to give thanks to everyone around me. On a personal note, I feel a great sense of achievement today. Fourteen years ago today I moved to the United States from Australia to pursue my dreams as a music recording artist. Since that day I have released 6 albums, on my own label I created; built a worldwide non-profit songwriters organization, Songsalive!; written and published 2 books; toured the States 3 times and all across Europe; and found the man of my dreams and married him.
I am very thankful of the blessings in my life, and the successes that have come to me and that I have created. I am living my dream.

I couldn't have achieved any of that without people. There have been numerous angels in my corner to support and nurture my growth and path and I thank each and every one of them for their guidance and opportunities. I hope I have also assisted their dreams too, even a little bit, for this life is all about the give and the give.

Most of all, I couldn't have achieved any of that without my own sense of purpose, inner confidence and trust that it will all be ok. And it is.

Thank you world.
