About The Talent Consultant
The Songbroker is a music publishing company, that specializes in Project Management.
Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives.
The Songbroker was founded by yours truly, Darren Staten. I was a past winner and finalist for the Canadian National Songwriting contest, and I also had some success running a small indie Pop record label (Synergy Records).
I also have had numerous TV credits, for songs I wrote and/or co-wrote, that aired on networks like ABC, MTV, VH1, and TLC.
Two of my labels releases (Kelly Brock and Carmelina Cupo), were nominated for "Best Pop Albums", for the Canadian West Coast Music Awards, against Major Label Artists like Nelly Furtado...go figure?
Who do you think won?
Hey, it was just a thrill to get those nominations for my artists,...and I was just glad that my marketing budget of $845.32 for each release, was obviously well spent!
You see my talent, is not just recognizing musical talent. More importantly, I have a talent and vision, of finding ways to help musical talent achieve their goals, no matter what resources they have.
I provide the tools, for unsigned musical talent (Artists, Songwriters, Producers), to help get their music heard.
Some of the FREE services I offer for talented unsigned Artists, Producers, and Songwriters all over world include:
* Help with marketing thier music to Labels and Managers

The Talent Consultant, provides consulting and management services for aspiring actors and singers like you from all around the world.I help aspiring entertainers like you that meet one of the following criteria:
Live in countries with few opportunities
Live in small towns with few opportunities
Lack resources and a strategy to achieve goals
I will not charge you up front fees, and i don't require a multi-year contract to begin working with you.
Why Do I Do It?
I have always felt compelled to root for the underdogs or those that have the odds stacked against them. Whether it is a sports team, politician, or entertainer, I am hopeful and cheering on those blessed with some talent but clearly having the most desire to succeed. Even if they lack resources, their competitors have.
A talented aspiring entertainer with tremendous resources and some desire to succeed is NOT APPEALING to me.
A talented aspiring entertainer with few resources but an overwhelming desire to take action to succeed, I would do everything possible to help!
My focus is providing cost effective career building solutions for talent that are action oriented and share a compatible strategic vision on how to reach their goals.
How do I do it?
By developing a strategy with you to discover and market your unique strengths. (What specific skills/capabilities do you have, that when used together gives you a competitive advantage against other talent?) What specific skills/capabilities do you have that allows you to do something better than anyone else in the world?
We will establish goals and develop a strategy together to exploit your most unique skills
I will give you FREE access to my resources including my time, a digital recording studio, video editing equipment and more
We will utilize breakthroughs in technology to communicate effectively, be cost effective, and productive even if you are halfway around the world from me
A little about me.....
You have acting or singing talent or perhaps both. I have some talent songwriting and producing songs. I was a past winner and finalist for the Canadian National Songwriting contest. Some of my songs earned commercial radio airplay in Canada and the USA and in parts of Asia. I also have had lots of success in sales and administrative jobs, so selling talent is a natural fit for me.
However, my best talent is recognizing undeveloped talent and finding a niche and strategy for them to compete against other aspiring entertainers.
On two occasions in the past, I developed two singers from the ground up from no demo's, no marketing materials, no strategy, to record deal contract offers and interest from Canada's largest labels.
If you would like a FREE consultation to see if we our compatible working together, or a FREE 30 day trial, then please contact me.
