Toronto-based Musician Dave Sereny Releases Bob Marley Cover “Jammin’”, Reggae Single With Smooth Jazz and Rock Influences

Our dreams have come true! Toronto’s Dave Sereny has released a new single off his highly anticipated album, Talk to Me. The track titled, Jammin’ is a Bob Marley cover and could not be more appropriately named. This reggae infused, soulful, rock jam has you swaying to the guitar strums while you soak up the tropical vibes Marley cultivated. 

On such an iconic track, Sereny still makes it his own. His guitar skills take front row while the airy vocal accompaniment create an angelic ambiance.

“Sereny’s work is remarkable…including [his cover of] Bob Marley’s "Jammin’", which stays true to the original with splendid smooth vocal overlay” -  Stu Berketo, Wave.fm 94.7/95.9 HD2

“Jammin’ comes off Sereny’s second album “Talk To Me”, released 12 years since his wildly popular album “Take This Ride”. Makes sense when you account for the fact that Sereny is a frequent performer and a touring veteran of multiple jazz festivals. In 2019, it’s great to see that Sereny gives jazz music a fresh spin while never sacrificing his craft.

Listen to Jammin’ on Spotify  or check out the full album on iTunes. Be sure to also check out Dave’s website and Twitter for all his updates!

ISRC Numbers are Essential in Collecting Music Royalties from Social Media Sites like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram

Many musicians don't know that music videos can be embedded with an ISRC number just like their audio file counterpart. This means that you must purchase two different ISRC codes if you want to collect all your music royalties.

Streaming royalties are being paid when a music video is streamed on an OTT device such as a mobile phone or smart TV. As a result, it’s possible to leave money on the table when you don’t purchase a separate ISRC number for your music video. These separate ISRC numbers for music videos are only sold by licensed ISRC vendors. Watch this YouTube video for more information.

Web ‘n Retail is licensed by the RIAA to distribute and embed ISRC numbers into your video file. They have been in business for 26 years helping musicians with specific challenges in their career. Furthermore, their flat rate ISRC service for music videos includes services other companies charge extra for.

Toronto-based Jazz Musician Dave Sereny with his newest single “Come Here Baby” redefines modern Jazz and Soul music and draws influence from Rock

Long-time award winning Jazz musician Dave Sereny released his new single “Come Here Baby”
where he reminisces about his past relationships. The incorporation of different styles of jazz reminds me of Wes Montgomery and Miles Davis’ styles.

This is a beautifully crafted song with heart-felt romantic lyrics that make you want to sing along and hit repeat, repeat, repeat, Think cold day, fireplace going, snuggled in a blanket, reading a good book – that’s “Come Here Baby”!    The relaxing energy that Sereny brings is not only straight forward jazz but it’s been infused with influences from soul and rock.

From signature-like Randy Newman vocals to amazing melodic guitar licks similar to Santana, Sereny really wants us to enjoy his song just as much as he did when he was writing, composing, singing and playing his electric guitar on this track; the same is the case with the whole album, not just this track.

Make sure to check out the full album on Spotify here. Be sure to check his website and Twitter for all your updates and questions.

Make Money From Your Music Videos on Social Media Sites Like Instagram But You Need an ISRC Number!

Did you know that you can get paid royalties from social media sites like Instagram when your music & lyric videos are streamed on these sites. In order to track these royalties, your music video must have an ISRC number embedded into the master file! If you use Instagram to promote your music then you definitely don’t want to miss out on this!

In the past, music videos were strictly for promoting songs. Nowadays, they are considered their own form of art. Therefore, you can collect royalties from your music video or lyric video when streamed on social media platforms like Facebook. However, you can only do so if you have an embedded ISRC number. You can see more info here on YouTube.
