Are you an upcoming entertainer looking for TV exposure?
Current mood:  confident
Are you an upcoming singer, actor, producer, rapper, or DJ? Do you have a strong press kit/demo but need extra exposure? I just might have an awesome opportunity to get that exposure on TV throughout the Delaware/Philly/South Jersey area on two different networks through an international TV show. This is a great opportunity to get needed exposure and reach over 6 million households over 16 different times a month. [Yes. I'm serious.]
You must submit a bio, online press kit (myspace pages are also accepted), and MP3. Only a few will be selected. Email submit@whomag.net for more information.

Hammering Out a Household Name Without Simon Cowell - Press Release By Santalina Management
SANTALINA PRESS RELEASE: MAY 22, 2008
by: Santalina's Management
SANTALINA: HAMMERING OUT A HOUSEHOLD NAME WITHOUT SIMON COWELL – ON THE FRONT OF EVERY WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER IN THE WORLD 5.22.
08 (1 BILLION USERS)
Philadelphia-This is an age where "no-names" get thrown into marketing machines like American Idol and spit out as stars without ever writing their own music, touring, securing management, and living the "starving artist" lifestyle. There is a beautiful story that is lost when artists are instantly shoved down people's throats by these network giants. What happened to the pain, the struggle, the relentless work, and the risk that defined artists like Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, and Kid Rock.
Santalina, in her story to attain musical success, has personally attracted major publicity without stepping foot onto Simon Cowell's stage. Today (5.22.08), her new video "Kick In The Door" is featured on the front of every Windows Media Player around the world. There may be over 1 billion PC's in operation today. Ironically, the show "Making The Band" is licensing Santalina's music for their background tracks.
Santalina currently tours independently at concerts, special events, and charities. She is an artist that has written on every song in her upcoming album release. Strengthened through her own past legwork, she still chooses to be actively involved in the business side even with the presence of management.
With American Idol's Season 7 ending last night, another no-namer has been catapulted into the limelight. Nielson numbers for the show are down by millions this season. The public is speaking. With an economy that is sinking from rising gas prices, and people working harder to make ends meet, they are gravitating to entertainers that are relatable and follow suit like Santalina. From growing up in poverty with a dream to getting her video on the front of every Window Media Player shows her determination to succeed is paying off.
"The talent and image are quite obvious; she will succeed in this industrybecause she has become a relentless fighter, this strength cannot be ignored by her fans" – Recently Signed Management
"The Next Big Music Sensation" - front page of www. msn.
com 19 times
"Very talented and relatable" – Billboard Magazine
"It's only a matter of time before Santalina's name is spoken in the same breath with entertainment greats like Mariah Carey and Alicia Keys" - Michael Quintero-Moore President, Panthera Entertainment
For more info on Santalina email Rob at management@santalina.net or call 201-401-0716
www. santalina.net
Notable:
- MTV's "Making The Band" and "Next" have licensed her music
- Santalina featured on the front page of msn. com 19 times (4.75 billion hits)
- Santalina opened for Elton John and Patti Labelle
- Sung the national anthem for pro sporting events (Phillies, 76ers, Cavaliers, Rockets)

Santalina:
Current mood:  awake
*SANTALINA UPDATE: BY MANAGEMENT*
What can you say? For the past 6 months, Santalina has been featured on the front page of www.msn.com
19 times!!!!
This unsigned R&B artist was on the front
page of the #2
website
in the world! WWW.MSN.COM gets 250,000,000 hits per
day
(www.alexa.com).
This is partially because of the buzz for her 4 part
mini-documentary
shot
by SPRITE (www.exposure.msn.com). As a result,
she has been
receiving
more publicity than most signed artist! Let's just
do the facts:
- 18th time (12/17/06) on MSN (250,000,000 views x 18
days = 4.5
billion
views)
- A 1/2 page write up in Billboard magazine
- Opened for Elton John on National TV (ABC)
- Myspace music plays at 210,000 plays
(www.myspace.com/santalinamusic)
Now on to her music!
- We just wrapped up the song "1.8.0." remix
featuring Young Tre!!
produced
by multi-platinum producer Mr. Mig (Omarion, Bow Wow,
Beyonce). The
original version is currently on her myspace page
(www.myspace.com/santalinamusic)
- We also just wrapped up "FREE" produced by
Grammy Award Winning Eddie
Hustle (Usher, Chris Brown, TLC).
FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- We are close to wrapping up the final project with
other songs by a
variety of multi-platinum producers and collabs as
well as the in-house
team of OMEGA and CRUNCHTYME.
Her most recent LIVE performance in PHILLY, 11/14/06 at FLUID
NIGHTCLUB left the audience excited and on their toes!! She tore up the house! Stay tuned for more upcoming shows!!
For MP3's, drops, interviews, press kits, or label
interest, please contact Santalina's management
directly at management@santalina.net

Don't Quit
Don't Quit When things go wrong, as they sometimes will When the road you're trudging seems all uphill When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh When care is pressing you down a bit Rest, you must - but don't you quit Life is queer with its twists and turns As everyone of us sometimes learns And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out Don't give up, though the pace seems slow You might succeed with another blow Success is failure turned inside out, the silver tint of the clouds of doubt And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit It's when things seem worst, That you MUST NOT QUIT!

"State Of Mind"
"State Of Mind"
If you think you're beaten, you already are;
If you think that you dare not, you don't;
If you'd like to win and you think you can't
it's almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've already lost;
for out in this world we find
success begins with a fellows will -
it's all about your state of mind.
If you think that you're out-classed, you are;
you've got to think high on the rise;
you've got to be sure of yourself before
you ever win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
to the stronger or faster man;
but sooner or later the man who wins
is the man who thinks he can.
