Bravo has James Lipton and Inside The Actor's Studio...
OnlinePopstar has Ken Pearson and Inside The Singer's Studio!

Esteemed OnlinePopstar Judge and Bluesprings Music Owner, Mr. Ken Pearson, graciously invited all OnlinePopstar members to participate in a discussion with him on Monday, May 1st, at 9:00 pm (EST) at CyberStars Chat.

Mr. Pearson has been involved in the music business all his life, performing on stage at the Grand Ole Opry at the age of 13. In the 60’s he was opening for such recording artists as SAM THE SHAM, JERRY LEE LEWIS, SAM COOK, OTIS REDDING, and others. Ken Pearson has played on stage, and with such diverse artists as Charlie Daniels, 38 Special, Cheap Trick, Wet Willie, The Bellamy Brothers and others.

Today, as the CEO of Bluesprings Music Group, Ken promotes artists and works closely with important decision makers from every major record label in America and Europe. As such, he has keen insight into the inner-workings of the music industry and was kind enough to share his wisdom and knowlegde with OnlinePopstar members during the 90 minute live chat.

OnlinePopstar members were given the unique and wonderful opportunity to ask questions about the music business.

The questions he answered pertained to ageism in the music industry, writing your own music, the specifics of press kits, and artist promotion and representation. Many of his answers dispelled long-held beliefs and myths that people have about making it in "the biz."

OnlinePopstar hopes to offer "Inside The Singer's Studio" on a monthly basis as part of it's expanding list of perks and benefits of membership.
