“…I had been on the site about 3 weeks when I received my first email from a Rep. at a record company. I was blown away! I never expected a response that quickly. I LOVE MG! For all you skeptics out there, Music Gorilla does everything they say they will do. The only thing you have to lose is the record label that never heard your music. Blessings to everyone who takes a chance on MG."

“I was not only approached by a member of Sony Music Group at the showcase, but have been speaking with him on a regular basis now over two months. He is very interested in the band, and he saw us because of Music Gorilla. Are you promised a deal??? No, but will doors open….Yes!!”

"My name is Jorge Lan and I´m a musician from Mexico. I signed up with music gorilla a few months ago. Shortly after I was contacted by a company named PC Treasures offering me a distribution deal. I signed an agreement with them and some time later started producing some other cds for this company. For me, Music gorilla opened a lot of work opportunities."

“…My band has been heard by A&R approximately a dozen times in 3 months. Additionally, Music Gorilla sponsors nationwide showcases in which at least one A&R representative will be in attendance. I have yet to find any other website who can provide the opportunity for you to showcase your music live to the industry. As an artist you get personal attention from Music Gorilla personnel… The service is unbeatable and in my opinion there is no better method out there to promote your band."

"I can't tell you how happy I am with the response our band has received from Music Gorilla. For the price of what I could buy a CD for a month, I'm getting MEGA exposure and have already confirmed three paying gigs strictly from this web-site. In less than a week of being on MG we have accomplished things I thought were never possible. In four days this site has done more for us then we could do in four months…This is one company that truly has the musician as the main priority. To date, joining the MG has been the BEST move our band has made. Period."

"Musicgorilla.com is a great looking site with…the ability for people to rate music and then for that info to be used as demographic information is invaluable to those who might be interested in doing business with the bands as well as the bands themselves. NOONER uses the demo info to tailor our shows…It’s a tool for NOONER, a resource for “industry people” and a blast for fans. This, along with the option to sell merchandise, can help new bands make a buck as well. If used intelligently, the site could pay for itself…. Musicgorilla.com ROCKS!"

“Finally there is a service that keeps the musician in mind. If you are serious about your music career, you need to have the right people listen to it. Music Gorilla not only does that, but stands behind it.”

"There are a lot of companies out there today trying to make money off of independent musicians by offering products and services that promise the world but in the end provide no real value. Music Gorilla is NOT one of those companies. From their professional staff to their unique approach to artist development, Music Gorilla is a class act from top-to-bottom worth every penny."
Brendan Hall -- Sucka Brown

"Music Gorilla has been absolutely wonderful for our band. By having us play their New York City showcase at Piano's, we were able to generate interest from some labels and A&R that are currently waiting on our new recordings. We were also able to get some much needed feedback from Epic Records and that has in turn given our band even clearer direction. So many websites act like they can help you, but Music Gorilla truly helps you figure out where you stand with information you need to get to the next level. Thanks for everything Music Gorilla!! All the best."

"Music Gorilla rocks. They gave us the opportunity to play in a foreign country for the first time ever. They sorted out everything for us so all we had to do was turn up and play. We truly owe them lots and I hope we can achieve what we want through them!! The best thing I ever did was sign up to your site! Keep rocking!"

"Well I just wanted to drop a line and say thank you for the show. It was awesome, and it went better than I could have hoped. All the labels and other companies who came to see us were very impressed, so hopefully it will lead somewhere. Thank you"

"Lucid Fly loves Music Gorilla! We heard from a friend that MG was for real, and that we need to check it out. After reading the mission, we instantly got the impression that we wouldn't be another nameless band who can never be found after the first week (like many other unsigned band sites) -- in fact we got a personal phone call from an MG founder and got all the assurance we needed to sign right up. Next thing we know, we're on our way to Austin, TX in the heart of SXSW 2006 on the MG stage at Coyote Ugly. Much props to Alexia, Lawrence and everyone at MG!!"

"To simply say that my group’s experience at Music Gorilla’s May 2006 showcase was “well worth it” would be an understatement. Music Gorilla reps were very professional, and kept the showcase running smoothly. The energy in the place was great! It was also an honor to perform with other high quality acts such as Loot! Emma Cook, Kacie Sheik, & Nooner. They all did their thing The feedback we got from Epic Records was positive and very useful. Overall it was a great experience to be a part of and would definitely do it again. Shout out to Music Gorilla!! Whenever they have a showcase available, it’d be best to jump at the opportunity!"

"Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your efforts with Music Gorilla. As a manager for national recording artist Shelley Laine, I have tremendous appreciation for resources that help promote the Independent Artist’s career. There are a number of things that you and MG do extremely well, ultimately giving the artist access to opportunities that would otherwise not exist. Recently one of Shelley’s tracks was selected for a film. As a result of that she is getting significant national exposure. That would not have been possible without MG. You can count on Shelley and her entire management team to support any future endeavors that MG undertakes. Thanks for being there for the Indies!"

"The opportunities that Music Gorilla provides with their free submissions is similar to what TAXI and other websites offer, but it is free!! For those of us who are actively making money off of our music, this really is a treasure. I have already received interest for one of my songs through MG, and I know more are on the horizon. There are so many opportunities out there in the music world, not just playing rock star or being the next American Idol, and Music Gorilla is totally doing it's members a massive service by offering this to us. If you believe in the songs you write, why not send them in? You really have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain by sending out a simple email!"

"Since Alexia has welcomed us into the MusicGorilla family, we've been given opportunities that were previously unavailable and almost unattainable by the Indie artist. MusicGorilla selected us to perform in two showcases for major labels - Hollywood Records and Epic Records and without MusicGorilla's help we would not have had that opportunity. The MusicGorilla love has also assisted us in gaining exposure on network TV with promotion on NBC's "Friday Night Lights" and that's not to mention the constant exposure to Major and Indie professionals on the MG website. So kudos go out to MusicGorilla folks for a job well done and everything they do to help the Indie artist get to the next level. Not just for us, but for ALL of the MG artists!"

"IF YOU ARE A MUSICIAN PLEASE READ THIS I have not been in the music industry for too long - less than a year, to be exact. But I have noticed that a lot of people that I meet in this industry are fulll-of-s**t. They will promise you everything, but give you nothing. This all changed when I met Alexia from http://www.MusicGorilla.com she has come true on her word every time Whenever I have a question, Alexia is there to answer it. If you have a minute go and browse the website http://www.MusicGorilla.com and give Alexia a call, you won't regret it."

"Wow, my new subscription to MusicGorilla.com is blowing my mind. In the first week, I had the opportunity to showcase live in front of major label A&R and received valuable feedback on my performance. I've also submitted my songs for placement opportunities I would have never known about with out the site. I'm really impressed with the broad range services that I can use to help build my career and the fast response from the MusicGorilla staff to my questions! Awesome!"
