With my business, we have started a company blog that replaces our home page. Seven Beland is specialised in digital project management. Having started in 2005 as “g r media” and a worldwide digital music distribution service for Swiss musicians, labels and publishers, Seven Beland expanded into music and musical publishing, and in 2010 into project management for Gerd Leonhard’s The Futures Agency.

PODCAST: SerGIO Fertitta and the Power of Self-Invention
Music producer SerGIO Fertitta talks to Alex Johnson about his career both sides of the Atlantic, in L.A. as well as in Europe. With a versatile list of clientele including Coolio, Snoop Dogg, Jermaine Jackson, Shaggy, Bro-Sis, Gianna Nanini, HRGiger and many others, SerGIO has expanded the producing business into musicals, film scores, and recently wrote the music to the successful Android game “3rd Eye”.
“You have to reinvent yourself.” SerGIO says “and to get recognised as a producer in this digital age, build your brand.” Entirely designed as a promotional tool, SerGIO created the forthcoming album “The Spaced-Out Adventures of Sir GIO aka. GIOBOT” musically and as a comic. Be the first to hear a few bars here. Check it out - www.sirgio.com.

Musikbusiness: Unsaubere Töne
For my German Followers: Report on Swiss Television SF1’s “10 vor 10” on discrepancies in the rating for the Swiss music charts. Swiss branch of world-wide Producer Association IFPI is being investigated by the Swiss Competition Commission. Thanks to Shigs Amemiya, Owner of iMusician Digital in Zurich, who brought these irregularities to the attention of the Comission.
