Life Coaching with Nancy M.

TAXI Road Rally

I've delivered workshops, spoken on panels, and served as a mentor for the TAXI Road Rally since 2004. My workshops tend to be focused on Booking & Touring, Alternative Music Marketing, Business Strategy, and Mindset Mastery topics.

The Four Bitchin' Babes

I recorded and toured nationally with this all female, highly regarded troupe. We sang four-part harmonies and delivered a highly entertaining & comedic show filled with original music that we arranged and performed. We played mostly performing arts centers and theatres (600 to 2000 seats) and we appeared on numerous radio & TV shows in support of our tours. This is one of the highlights of my career for me, as I learned so much about performing, especially with a group.

SongU.com

I taught online courses at SongU.com on Making & Releasing a Record, Alternative Music Marketing, and Booking & Touring for many years.

American Songwriter Magazine

While working for the magazine, I got the chance to write articles, review CDs, work with publishers and record labels, interview artists, edit and proofread copy, judge songwriting contests, and attend many songwriter events & conferences. Through my many interactions with major industry professionals, I picked up a ton of experience and knowledge about publicity and promotion, getting reviews and feature articles, networking, and more. I eventually had my own Q&A column where I answered the many questions that came into the office from our readers.

Songs.com

This was an online CD distribution company - one of the first of its kind, actually. It was before CDBaby. I was one of 5 people who worked with our 400+ artists. We were in charge of selling their CDs online and we worked with artists to develop and maintain an online presence. (This is when most artists didn't have things like their own website.) So, I learned a lot about distribution, online marketing, and even many artist management skills through this position.

Azalea Music Group

I quit my day job after releasing my first CD on my own record label in 1991 so that I could go full time into music. I moved to Nashville in 1993 and released three more solo records since then. I've been my own booking agent, manager, admin, publicist, publisher, and record label my entire career...not to mention that I write my own material that I perform. I still perform occasionally in Nashville and at special events.
