| “You are certainly at the forefront of an important issue that’s here to stay.”
– Tara Pepper/Newsweek - September, 2005
“Scooter opened his mouth and blew me away. Nothing can or will stop this guy.”
— Mike Masucci/EZTVMedia.com- April 4, 2004 GEMS
“Lots of musicians talk about using the Internet to
revolutionize the music industry. Scooter Scudieri is doing it.” — Larry Katz/The Boston Herald- October, 23, 2002
“Scooter's Self-Promotion: Next to
quality, the trick to successful songwriting is probably hustling. And if
Scooter Scudieri didn't write the book on hustling, he's at least developed a
lecture/workshop series focusing on it.” — Jim Bessman/Billboard Magazine- January 18,
2003
“It's rare for an artist to also be an extraordinary business person, but those two
contrasting sensibilities coexist quite harmoniously in singer/songwriter
Scooter Scudieri. Scooter is one of the most highly motivated and innovative
self promoters I have ever known. If anyone can blaze a new trail for how
musicians can thrive in the music industry's new environment, it's Scooter. He's
talented, he's passionate and he's savvy.” — LD Thompson/Jewel's Management Team
“While Scudieri's go it alone strategy has
also won him recognition both within the industry and without, it's his artistic
acumen combined with savvy guerilla marketing that's allowed him to pave his own
path.” — Lee Zimmerman/Goldmine Magazine May 2,
2003
“In the 12 years I've been producing showcases for the
Songwriters Hall of Fame, I've never seen anyone create the kind of buzz that
Scooter created for our March 19 event! He's a good writer. There's just
something different, a different kind of energy and way to write something. He's
the type of writer who I hope succeeds because he has the guts to start his own
business. He's not just sitting around waiting for someone to take care of it
for him. He's taken charge and is going to make it happen, and I have a lot of
respect for a guy like that.” — Projects Director, Songwriters Hall
of Fame
“Take a lesson from an artist like Scooter
Scudieri- relentless outreach and promotion backed up with quality music and
driven by imagination and vision.” — Peter Spellman, author of The Musician's
Internet
Director of The Career Development Center @ Berklee College of
Music
“[Scooter] has turned into a dynamo over the
past five years. Neither Arrogant nor apologetic, Scudieri just concentrates on
producing the best work, best product that he can and keeps his
independence.” — Maria Villafana/Washington Post.com
“You are certainly one of those inspirational
warriors that help musicians realize that they can take control of their art AND
their business, without compromising their talent or their soul or their ethics.
You have such great passion for your music and your teaching; it shines through
your songs and in your works as a soldier on the front lines of the music
revolution.” — Diane Rapaport, author of How to Make and Sell Your own Recording
“Beneath Scudieri's mane of curls and heartfelt folk-rock tunes like “Your Soul is Free” lurks a marketing executive as savvy as any on Madison
Avenue.” — Dan LeRoy/Charleston Daily Mail
“[Scooter] is a harbinger.” — John Perry Barlow/Electronic Frontier
Foundation—Grateful Dead Lyricist
