We give you the opportunity to be heard and reviewed by a top executive in the music industry. This is the man at the very
top. Not an associate or staff member, but the person that has the final say as to who is in and who is out. We will list
some of our clients on this page that have gotten their music heard World Wide. Some are still with us, others decided to
go their own way. That is fine. Not all people are honest, but hopefully there are enough honest artists out there that
realize how much we do for them, and how little we get in return. When we list our artists we will not point out who is or
is not still with us. This is for decency sake.

"The Ghost of James Dean."

People that sing and play and instrument do so because they have found a way to express their feelings. It is also a good
feeling when others like what you do. Although we did not list everyone that we have helped here, we tried to give you an
idea of what we have been doing. For the past seven years my wife and I have done everything that we could possibly do to
help people get an honest boost to their career. We have the resources to get you to the next level and although it is not
free we get you every possible discount that we can. We just ask that you respect us as much as we respect you.
2010 begins a brand new decade. There is no better time to begin to climb the stairs to success than right now. Along worth
the beginning of this new decade, M&S Public Relations will be making some changes. My wife, Shirley Ruth Caron was introduced
to the world of music in 2003 when she received a letter from Mister Cliff Ayres stating that a client of his discovered a
poem that she had written and wanted to put it to music. Shirley received her first nomination that year for Silver poet/songwriter
of 2003. Since that time, we gradually began our business to held other performers become recognized. Almost seven years later
Shirley's song "A Touch of Beauty" was included in a compilation of twenty-one other songs and distributed World
Wide. We recently learned that the song received enough attention that Mister Ayres wants to release it as a single. In
the meantime, clients that we introduced to Mister Ayres had their songs included in the compilation within two to three months
after appearing on the E.I.A. Awards show. Each client that is approved by Mister Ayres is nominated for their particular
genre of music. The nomination is an automatic second place winner which is $750.00 credit towards a $1,500.00 Recording contract.
The show is taped and edited into eight half hour segments which are than shown on several Cable stations throughout the
U.S. and several cities overseas once a week for a period of eight weeks. At each show, one performer is named as over-all
winner for that segment. That performer receives a $5,000.00 Recording contract. Early on in our venture, one of our clients
was named over-all winner. We received a handshake and "Goodbye, we don't need you anymore." Over a period of seven
years we have had at least twenty-five clients receive Recording contracts and big boosts in their careers within a year
after we introduced them to Nashville and Cliff Ayres. We have received nothing in return. Shirley has another song entitled
"Time" which was put to music and was being performed by an artists from North Carolina. He decided, after a considerable
investment on our part, that he no longer wants to sing. We are looking for a male or female, or both, that would like to
revive that song.
I am not writing all of this out of hatred, but rather to let each and every one of you know that we know what kind of
people are out there, because we have been unfortunate to trust them. When my wife waits for seven years to get her break,
while those that we support leave us high and dry after we get them to where they want to be, it is not fair at all.
There are some videos that are very important for you to listen to if you are serious about your career in the music industry.
I have not been able to upload them here as yet, but I do have them on tagged. if you are a member, by all means invite
me to be your friend. If you are not a member, it is free. Go ahead and join.
Go to my profile page and check out the Cliff Ayres videos now.
As this is the beginning of a new decade, we would like to make some positive changes. We would like to fill these pages
with honest performers and decent performers. As I mentioned earlier, not all of those listed are gone, but they are all
talented. Therefore, if you live in or around the Greenwood area and would like to grow with us, contact us. We are not always
able to go to performances or Karaoke clubs to check out talent, so if you would like to help us in that area, let us know.
If you enjoy video-taping performances, (with their permission) this would help. Awhile back, we had a girl contact us saying
that she was majoring in Public Relations and wanted to know if she could work with us for credit. We contacted her several
times, but she never got back to us.
Communication is the key to everything. You can be the most beautiful girl on Earth or the best vocalist that ever was, but
if you cannot communicate you are just spinning your wheels.
What style of music qualifies????
I'm glad that you asked. Emerald Records have been in business for over 35 years and have produced many different genres
of music. The main thing to remember is that your lyrics cannot contain profanity or racial discrimination. Emerald and
American Sounds Records are owned and operated by Mister Cliff Ayres, however he is also affiliated with 115 + Independant
Record labels as well as the Major labels. Those that feel that it is easy to get a recording label to produce your songs
must remember this. If you do not have a track record (i.e) have your songs being played on all the major radio stations,
Independant record labels will not support you unless you sign a contract for $40,000.00 to $50,000.00 dollars. We can get
it done for much less money.
After you have checked out the videos on Tagged, and are completely satisfied that everything that I have told you is legitimate,
we can begin proceeding to the next level. You can bypass this step by submitting your material directly to Nashville, however
there is no telling how much time will elapse before it is seen. If you are a minor, you must have a parent or legal guardian
act on your behalf.
First, you must mail us two CD's with at least four songs, two fast, two slow. Nashville needs to know if you can perform
both. One CD will be sent to Nashville to be evaluated. The other one will be kept for our records.
Along with the CDs, you must include a DVD or Video tape of your performance. Once we review both, if we decide that the
quality is good enough to pass the review board in Nashville, we will mail you a profile sheet along with an agreement form
agreeing to represent you. This is a new policy, as we required the promotion fees upfront, which, by the way, will be $100.00.
The reason that we changed our policy is this. We had people send us very professional CDs with their pictures on them.
They did not have a video, however, and we agreed to promote them. They did get nominated for an award and did show up in
Nashville. However, when it was their turn to perform, instead of putting a sound track in the system, it was the song itself.
We need to know that you are who you say you are. Mail the material to;
M&S Public Relations
Attn: Michael James Caron
1221A Community Place
Indianapolis, Indiana 46227
All checks or money-orders must be made out to
Shirley R. Caron
If you would like to pay by PayPal, contact us for instructions.
We will be making another change in 2010. Once we have agreed to represent you, we will put your video on our website along
with selections from your CD. If you are performing locally, we will list time, date, and location to get more visitors to
attend. We will do everything possible to get you to where you need to be, however you have to work with us on this. We want
to fill our pages with dedicated artists that deserve the recognition.
