INAYA JIFFIE DAY & CHERYL PEPSII RILEY LIVE TUESDAY 9:30 at TVU

As many of you know, Cheryl Pepsii Riley and I have a band called dYsFUNKtion.
We USED TO gig at Cafe' Wha but have since moved from there to the Village Underground & made some changes.
The "other club" is still wrongfully using our name and sometimes, even our image. So I decided to write you guys to let you know that WE ARE NO LONGER THERE! 
Come down to the Village Underground this Tuesday, May 24th, and hang out with us. I think you'll like what you hear!
Make your reservation NOW because it gets quite tight quite fast.
You can call 212 777-7745 or go online at www.THEVILLAGEUNDERGROUND.com
(if you live too far away, you can watch LIVE ONLINE)
Here's Cheryl singing some of her original music at the Village Underground: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcLM-rh29nA
And here I am singing CHAIN OF FOOLS at the Village Underground: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MLcyhJShN8&feature=related
SEE YOU THERE!

New Music from Inaya Day & Ashleigh K.



Yeah so I've been writing  with my friend, Ashleigh.
Figure it never hurts to have some fresh input. 
Well, I was right and it's paying off.
So far, EVERY song we've written together has been signed except one.
Here's a link to a snippet of four of those signed songs.
Hope you dig em.

And here are two more songs/videos that I wrote and released on my own label.

Reclaiming My Treasures (from Internet pirates) 

  • It's REALLY hard for recording
    • 

artists to sell music these days.
Most, if not all, record stores have closed down and 
the internet pirates make it very difficult for 
internet retail. They download then post free links to songs that don't belong to them, thereby stealing food from the copyright owners' and artists' mouthes.
   Some argue that if they're posting it, that means 
they like it and wish to spread the word.
Well, if you like an artist and their music, isn't it 
even more cool to show support by encouraging 
purchases? After all, that's why the music is released on RETAIL sites and not in blogs.
Do we want you to blog about our music? YES! But we 
also want you to post the links to listen & PURCHASE, 
not links to unauthorized downloads.
Pirates are winning because we're not fighting....
SO, here's a bit of armor to help 
protect YOUR music in this battle.
Here's an approved template to send to any unauthorized download site! IT WORKS! so be diligent!

Hello,
    I am the copyright owner of this master and 
have not authorized it's use for free download.
   Use of the below-mentioned material is not 
authorized by the copyright owner, 
its agents, or the law.

penalty of perjury.

Thank you.

Songs from my OWN label

Well, I had to give in and do it.
I started my own label last year.
I've just released my 2nd single from NY-O-Dae Music. (YAY!)


Why now? Well, we're in the day of "Do It Yourself", so I figured I'd do it myself. No middle man.
     In house music, labels mostly release the music to digital stores and let the songs fly or fail on their own with no push nor promo ; and with all of the pirates posting the music to free sites, you don't stand a chance with someone in the middle taking a larger chunk of YOUR work than you get.
I figured I could , at least , push harder than they.
I advise any other artists with a bit of business savvy to do the same.
So, here's the link to the new song, 
CHASE ME.
http://www.traxsource.com/index.php?act=show&fc=tpage&cr=titles&cv=87889
.....and here's HIGHER PLACE .

You can listen to snippets on this site and then purchase the bits you dig!
Thanks, and chat soon!
