| “…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!!” | | |

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!" | | |

| "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." | | |

| "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."

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!" | | |

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"

Just the fact that the great people At Music Gorilla have really put something together to help bands really put their music out there, and not just for labels but tv shows, Movies, video games you name it. Recently our band did a a clip of our music and a few of our band members even get to be on TV, for a show called Friday Night Lights and ever since then our crowd has grown . So thanx to all the Wonderful people like alexia and the team for Music Gorilla.

| "After playing our first show for MusicGorilla.com, we in Finespun are just floored by the professionalism shown by the staff at MG.com. Rarely has this band been on a show that has run as smoothly as this. The bands who played were paired well by genre which shows that the site owners really do pay attention to the music and a good time was had by all.
MG.com gave us the opportunity to actually play in front of a real living, breathing A&R rep which is MG living up to its promise of being able to "play it for the labels". The fact that the CEO's of the site are always nice, personable and always reachable by phone is a plus, the fact that they will take the time to talk to you for as long as you need them is going above and beyond the call of duty, which most other websites promise, but never deliver. 3 Cheers for MusicGorilla.com!" | | |

I've only been involved in two MG showcases but I agree, I thought this one was the best so far.
We did have a chance to chat with Jimmy [Landry A&R/Producer/Consultant Virgin Records] for a few moments and yeah, he was a really cool cat! We have played showcases in front of label reps before and most of them don't even give you the time of day. He was very cool and very honest and I really respect that." | | |

Personal support is the word here; phone calls and emails are always answered promptly. It’s obvious they’re not just trying to grow a business brilliantly, they’re sincerely interested in helping their artists succeed beyond their wildest dreams. MusicGorilla.com is a rare find, a hit song, a company to be trusted. MG is the only place I’ve posted our songs - with great results."

They really looked out for us when NBC needed a hip-hop video to play in an episode of "Friday Night Lights". Music Gorilla suggested we submit our video and VERY QUICKLY it was approved by NBC.
MusicGorilla not only features music but they genuinely look out for its artists. That opportunity came out of nowhere and we thank MusicGorilla for puttin' that together. Good job!" | | |

I can only advise those who contribute for film or TV placement to be patient, as it is an industry that does not often move fast. But Music Gorilla is fabulous for finding the film opportunities! Thanks Alexia and all at MG for your help, support and providing such opportunities! | | |

"After 2 CD's, Its been suggested to me repeatedly to get into Film and TV music. I tried networking on my own, getting into all kinds of programs that promise to get me in contact with the right people, all kinds of streaming networks that promise airplay, and after repeatedly being let down, I started to spend more time focusing on finding an A&R group that would truly have a grip and strong track record on the industry.
After hours and hours spending researching, I came across Music Gorilla. I compared and researched more, each time, coming back to Music Gorilla and Alexia Erlichman. Someone who made tangible contacts, and had a track record of success in the worlds toughest market of all, the internet. I decided to call her and find out more.
Alexia is a very engaging personality, and I could tell right away that everything I read, and with her obvious fervor, this would be worth the risk.
Here I am now, with a Documentary Series on OLN as proof, that Alexia and Music Gorilla dont make empty promises! She's the real deal, and im not even through my first year here!" | | |

I've had several inquiries from Industry reps since joining less than a year ago, and recently was featured on "Country Legends in the Making", a syndicated radio program for Indie Country musicians that is played on over 400 stations in the US, and 700 world-wide. Two of my songs were also selected for placement on their current compilation CD, which will soon begin receiving air-play at those same stations. That kind of exposure is phenomenal to an Indie writer like myself, and it is totally due to my Music Gorilla membership. Thank you MG for making this happen for me!!" | | |
