Why Jake Pierle hearts his media

As a mediocre musician, I rely on media in my work. I lay down a track in Bloomington, export it as an mp3, and email it to my producer. My producer cleans it up and emails it back, at which point I upload to my website. From there, it’s downloaded to mp3 players, added to YouTube, or linked to others via Facebook. Someone tweets an idea or request. People email suggestions. Without these media outlets, I wouldn’t know how to promote, and I wouldn’t get the feedback I need. That’s why I love media.
