It was to alert people to new talent (fortunately I make enough money other ways).
So that's why, when we (very rarely) rave about an Unsigned act, the industry sits up and pays attention.
That's what happened with Orson; for 8 years they were totally ignored, one week after I picked up on them and raved about No Tomorrow, everyone was chasing them.
That's what I do.
Every now and then the industry continues to ignore my picks... sometimes then I get professionally involved and do a deal to work on the act or the song or whatever (Chumbawamba; Who Let The Dogs Out etc).
But most of my picks are intended to alert others about real musical talent.
Which was exactly what happened to ORSON.
In other areas, I tend to teach and train and advise people and sometimes projects like Nizlopi and Daz Sampson benefit from my example, influence and training. |

it's all very well spotting them before everyone else but how did that help them?
and how much money did you make? |

Their best song is She Walks Right Through Me and another hit is Handheld Digital...
Excellent songs.
The mighty Howard Berman is managing them. |
