\"Damiacci\"<\/a>I met Damiacci through our mutual friend, Ms. Nikki Rich<\/a>, host of the Nikki Rich Show<\/a>.\u00a0I\u2019m so glad she introduced us! When I listened to Damiacci\u2019s singles on his website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 The Fire is All in Me<\/em>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Give Me Your Hands<\/em>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Hero for the Night<\/em><\/p>\n

I fell in love with his music and I asked him to be a part of the Amused Now Featured Artist Series. With men and women like Mariah Carey, Ginuwine, Sisq\u00f3, Celine Dion and Deborah Cox influencing his music, it\u2019s no wonder that Damiacci is such a powerful singer. Not only is Damiacci a fantastic singer, he\u2019s an actor and promoter of other artists (just like us).<\/p>\n

Damiacci mainly plays locally, near his home in Charlotte, NC. He recently was asked to perform in Winston-Salem, NC. He dreams of touring both nationally and internationally too.<\/p>\n

Damiacci uses the internet quite extensively to promote himself. He has a website for Damiacci Management<\/a>, a Facebook page<\/a>, Instagram<\/a> account,\u00a0YouTube channel<\/a>\u00a0and he tweets as @DamiacciDaGreat.<\/p>\n

He admits that social networking takes time and dedication. Although he enjoys it, \u201c90% can be tedious.\u201d Damiacci recommends sending out invites on Facebook and posting inside groups. You can get friends and associates to share links, but you need to set aside the time to do most of it yourself. \u201cGet those numbers up. It\u2019s very important.\u201d<\/p>\n

Damiacci advises getting fliers made. Perform at local shows and open mikes. After a perfect performance, give out fliers and business cards.<\/p>\n

He works in retail, which is \u201clike your best friend, because you meet all sorts of people. You never know who you\u2019ll meet!\u201d Damiacci uses every opportunity to tell people about his music and give out his business cards. “Business cards separate the amateur from the professional.”<\/p>\n

\u201cTell people what you do.\u201d Get on the radio. It\u2019s expensive, but there are alternate options, like the Nikki Rich Show<\/a>\u00a0and several underground radio shows.<\/p>\n

Damiacci is currently working on a project called Love in the Dark<\/em>, a set of five songs and he hopes to complete it soon. He explains that being an independent artist is expensive. He\u2019s getting ready to produce a full album called Me and My Foolishness<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Lately, Damiacci has been performing at a lot of shows. He\u2019s working on his showmanship and dance moves. He\u2019s getting gigs outside Charlotte. Damiacci is super-excited, because he\u2019s been asked to perform at the grand opening of a new store by the manager of the large retail chain where he works. We\u2019re crossing our fingers that the media broadcasts part of his performance!<\/p>\n

\"Damiacci\"<\/a>Damiacci has another interesting project called Build a Nation<\/em>\u00a0magazine that promotes entertainers. He started the project in August 2012 to support the independent movement. He wants to help independent artists become stars, because he\u2019s an independent artist and he needs help with promotion. His magazine helps people get exposure through interviews, photo shoots and events. Eventually, Damiacci wants to take the magazine from the virtual to the physical.<\/p>\n

I see a lot of synergy between Build a Nation<\/em> and Amused Now. I\u2019m sure Damiacci and I will be working together in the near future!<\/p>\n
