SongwritersVantage Katey Shorey caught up with TK Promo’s, Toni Koch, at TAXI 2009 for an interview or perhaps a stream of consciousness.  A little bit about Songwriters Vantage from their “About Us” page, www.songwritersvantage.com.. 

“with Songwriters Vantage, all you’ll have to do is to watch, listen or read, whenever you wish, from wherever you wish – right from your computer screen, laptop, iPhone, iPad, or tablet!  This is truly the most effortless way to improve your skills, hone your songwriting craft and your music business acumen.  And we do it all in a simple to understand, fun atmosphere.”

We recommend you visit their website or better yet, come to one of their workshops or meet them as they’ll be attending conferences, festivals and industry meeting s to inspire, encourage and support our global songwriter community.
