This week\'s episode #225 we discuss charity with Chris Brandt from Music Heals Canada.

Music Heals - http://www.musicheals.ca/

We discuss how artists can give back, and furthermore, how that is beneficial for them and their promotion.

We have found that artists can do a lot to support their favourite cause, and many of those ways don\'t involve money out of the artist\'s pocket.

Picking a charity that provides a promotional arm to the artists, and gives back in terms of promoting the artist\'s releases and tours, is a new opportunity.

The media often doesn\'t want to hear about another new artist touring through their city. However if the artist initiates their press push with a charity angle, it gives the media something to write about and often results in ink that the artist wouldn\'t normally receive.
