Is a New Trend of Recording Artists Hitting the Scene?

Hollywood, CA - Record labels aren't investing the money to develop artists and acts like they used to so we are seeing a new trend sweeping the Hollywood scene rise in the number of schools and programs designed to develop artists.

JJPZ Talent Development and Jonathan George has launched ARTIST EVOLUTION, an intense training program for young aspiring singers and musicians of all levels as well as all genres of music. Taught by Hollywood?s top industry professionals, the program focuses on Voice lessons, Performance Technique, Vocal/Image Styling, Stage Movement/ Dance, Songwriting, Artist Development/Packaging, Music Business, Marketing, Interviewing/ Auditioning, Live Showcases/Performances with Bands and Artists, and Industry Showcases.

Jonathan George, president of JJPZ, has been responsible for developing some of the hottest stars seen and heard on film/TV/radio/stage. He offers this bit of advice:

"Record labels are looking for fully packaged artists. It is rare for them to invest time and money into developing an act. You have to be on top of your game and be ready when the light turns green.
There is an art of honing your skills and developing yourself as an artist. By being focused and in tune with your instrument you will save time and money.
Dare to be an individual!? Be true to yourself and you will gain more respect and you will be much happier!
No matter the style of music you sing, whether it is Broadway or Rock, you have to be prepared in order to be a working artist."
