Myspace Artist of the Week

By: Anne Haynes
As some of you may know I’m interested in helping my friend Jeff Hinkin make it big in the music industry. He is amazing and sings, plays harmonica and the guitar, not all at the same time, but close. And I think the world and especially the US needs to love Jeff Hinkin’s music – he’s AWESOME

I’ve been educating Jeff and his brother Jason on how to launch a social media campaign. I know the best way to market Jeff Hinkin is to associate him to John Lennon. His voice is so much like John Lennon. If you get a chance to listen to him live in Monterey, California singing Beatles covers or his original music, it’s an experience.

Jeff is being featured as the Arzuk Artist of the Week starting March 16, 2009. Jeffsends me the Myspace marketing 411 from Arzuk Productions/Record. The email below from Arzuk speaks volumes….um
