January 2014 Newsletter

Happy New Year! 

2013 was a great year for JMWest Entertainment! 

"By My Side" by Justice released March 19, 2013, and reached #34 on the TOP 40 Billboard Indicator chart, enjoyed an exceptionally strong rotation on Sirius XM 20 on 20 throughout the summer and  

racked up almost a million views on YouTube.   

At the label, we further solidified our strong and talented team by welcoming to new roles Jose Sanchez (Artist Development), Scott Newman (Junior A&R), Keena Batti (Marketing Assistant) and Erilyn Salumbides (Creative Services Assistant).  All of our team members, past and present, consistently impress and inspire.

JMWest LIVE! celebrated its 3-year anniversary and moved from On The Rox to the main stage at The Roxy Theatre, where we enjoyed many successful talent packed shows last year with stand out performances by Hannah Anders, Steps of Doe, Pacific, Brandon Bassir, and Katie Boeck to name just a select few.   Also catching our attention in a profound way in 2013 were Kylie Marcus and Finn (aka Tiffany Anne Jordan) - both of whom are now JMWest Entertainment signed artists.

"Yellow Shirt" by Kylie Marcus released on November 21, 2013, and was picked up by Sirius XM 20 on 20 for fourth quarter airplay starting Thanksgiving Day. 

We were blessed by the professional contributions of many great people this year including (among many many others): Paul Jackson Jr., John J.R. Robinson, Luis Conte, Guy Nsange, Dorian Holley, Phil Tan, Chris Gehringer, Steve Sykes, Scott Frankfurt, Jerry Avenaim, Scott London, and the always incomparable Franck Gelibert.  We believe someone, presumably great, once said that to be great, first surround yourself with greatness - and we have certainly had the privilege of doing that this year!

We are looking forward to an equally exciting 2014 as we gear up for first quarter single releases by Ruzanna and Finn along with EP releases for both Justice and Kylie Marcus.

Our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for your continued support of our efforts, our signed artists and the many JMWest LIVE! artists that showcase with us.

Sincerely,

Jean-Michel Soupraya
