My Media Launch Experience



Wow guys!!! What an amazing evening. First off, I have to thank my amazing fans for supporting me throughout my years as a musician. You have helped me achieve what Ive set out to achieve. Also, I want to thank my amazing wife for standing by me and my awesome awesome awesome manager, Michelle Smit for persevering and for pushing me and every now and then giving me a kick on my behind when I felt like giving up. Recently I signed to an amazing agency called Nue Light Productions who are opening some big doors for my future and also had a big hand in the success of my Media Launch with Sandra Hendryckx from Highlander in Glenn Gary Shopping Center in Vredekloof. Thanks Julita and Adele from the bottom of my heart, then last but not least, thanks to the media that arrived, especially Louisa Steyl (Tygerburger), Finesse Magazine and Dee Theart (Cape Town Music Scene) to name a few.

I met such an awesome guy, he was responsible for myself and my wife arriving at the venue in one piece, Ulrich Horn, chauffeured us in a Mercedes Benz, wooooowwwweeeeee!!! Such a beautiful car. We arrived to walk up the red carpet and was greeted by a fire dancer and then to my surprise walked into a full venue. The atmosphere was just so amazing and I met some awesome people.

Then when show time came myself and my band were introduced to the audience by Julita from Nue Light Productions and we were received with open arms thereafter. I spoke to someone not long ago who said not to do a media launch but I would honestly encourage more artists to do it. Its brilliant to build a platform and create some hype around your brand.

The idea was to create some hype around my EP Launch which is taking place on the 1st of August 2012 at Die Boer Teater in Durbanville. The show will be opened by Jesse Jordan (Debut single "Ready For The World") and Natasha Meister (Debut single and official music video "Safe In The Silence") and then my show will take place after that and Ill be joined on stage by some of SA's top session musicians and then of coarse as promised a surprise performance. My EP will be on sale at R60 as well as the "Gareth James Edition" MP3 player at R200 (To order MP3 players online go to www.metabolicinteractive.co.za) and key rings at R10.

To book a table you can email navrae@dieboer.com or call 021 979 1911. Bookings are essential.

I will be in touch soon

Cheers for now...
