Thank you so much for the interest and the listen! It is greatly appreciated. If you are interested in learning more about BroGreede you can reference the BroGreede.com website! Unfortunately my brother passed suddenly in 2011 which rocked my world! We were BroGreede! It's a long story! ever since I've been carrying the torch working with various musicians in collaboration in my studio! I'm a multiinstrumentalist /songwriter! Since that time I continue to work with various musicians on collective projects and I work on my own creations in various genres! The days of becoming a rockstar are long gone! However I'm open minded to any opportunity in music and really appreciate people listening to my music! So honestly anything that comes my way is cool. I want to thank you again for taking the time to give a listen and reach out to me! I appreciate that greatly! if you care to listen to any more music, I would suggest the last album "Depths of battle"... would be a really good listen! It shows versatility and eclecticism, which is BroGreede's tenet! Actually this was a turning point in our evolution and so many great things were just starting to happen!! In reference to your original question I have lost any ambition trying to promote anything! I maintain the Broadjam website which hosts my BroGreede.com solely out of respect for my late brother and other bandmate who also passed! It was my brother who put us on the site back in 2000! So hence-an on-going tribute! I entered many paid promotional opportunities that the site offers however and unfortunately I have come to the conclusion many are bogus and simply a money making scam! So..now there is a lack of interest! I made many contacts with musicians on Broadjam, made friends and unfortunately it seems to be a general consensus!! Anyway..I'm still active..I'm here and I'm available! Thank you so much for reaching out!!

Hi Anthony,
First off, I just want to say I really appreciate you sharing that with me. I can only imagine what that journey has been like for you, and the fact that you're still creating, still carrying that torch, that says a lot. There's real weight and authenticity behind what you're doing, and that actually matters more in this space than most people realize.
I took your suggestion and spent some time with 'Depths of Battle'... you weren't kidding about the versatility. There's a certain emotional depth and cinematic quality in there that stood out to me right away, especially knowing the story behind it. That kind of backstory isn't something you can manufacture, and it tends to translate well when positioned the right way. And I hear you on Broadjam, you're definitely not the only one who's come away feeling that way. A lot of artists I speak with have had similar experiences, especially when it comes to paid opportunities that don't really lead anywhere meaningful. What you said about stepping back from promotion makes sense given everything, but at the same time, based on what I'm hearing, I'd say your catalog is sitting in a space where it could be doing a lot more without, you having to go back into that grind or deal with those kinds of platforms again.
Out of curiosity... have you ever had anyone take a proper look at your catalog strictly from a sync/licensing perspective? Not submissions or listings, but more how it's actually positioned and structured for that side of the industry. If you're open to it, I'd be happy to continue this over email and take a closer look at a few things with you. Feel free to reach me directly at belovedsteve3@gmail.com, and we can keep it simple and go from there.

Either way, I'm glad we connected Anthony.. there's something there worth paying attention to.

Best,
Steven

Hi Steve,
Thanx for the understanding & kind words! As I guess you already surmised that the situation with me is basically simple. I love music...I love writing, creating ideas and making them come to life! That's why music is magical has prolific power & influence! In my case I just do it and don't expect anything of it to become anything other than what it means to me!! I know what you are involved in and I'm open to learn more of why you started this communication and what's driving it! I'm all AI ears (lol) So when you have some time....fire away...get to the nitty-gritty..let me know what you're thinking about...we can chat about it! Thanx man!!!
Respectfully,
Anthony Z aka. TK(TonyKeys)-BroGreede

I appreciate that,  and I respect the place you're coming from with it.
To be honest, what drove me to reach out is pretty straightforward... I've worked with a lot of artists over the years, and every now and then you come across a catalog where it's clear there's more there than what's being done with it. Yours gave me that same feeling.
And I get your mindset, creating for the love of it, not chasing outcomes. But the interesting part is, in the sync world, that actually puts you in a stronger position than most. You're not forcing trends... you've already built something real.
When I mentioned 'positioning', this is where things shift a bit from what you've experienced before.
Most platforms you've dealt with are built around submissions and chance.
What I do is different, it's about structuring and refining your catalog so it's actually viable for placement opportunities before it ever gets in front of the right people.
That's usually where artists either get overlooked... or start seeing real movement.
Now, I don't like to throw random ideas around without context, if I'm going to speak on something, I prefer to actually look under the hood properly and be specific.

So what I typically do at this stage is a focused catalog assessment, where I go through a portion of your work and identify:
~ what's already working for sync
~what's being missed or overlooked
~and where the real opportunities sit within what you've already created

It's not a surface level thing, it's detailed, and it gives you a clear picture of where you stand and what direction actually makes sense (without the guesswork or platform noise you've already dealt with). If that's something you'd want to explore, shoot me a quick email at belovedsteve3@gmail.com and I'll send over the full breakdown and next steps so we can take it from there.
Either way, respect to you for keeping it going all these years, that kind of consistency is rare.

Best,
Steven

LOL....ok...I've actually heard that sort of thing before...so it does sound familiar believe it or not! Sounds like another money-making deal...however there is no harm looking into the intricate details and the finer print! Probably something that I would pass on...because as I made clear...I'm not looking for anything...and don't expect anything! Kind of like "been there...done that" gig...You seem like a down to earth individual who may be totally upfront without any iniquitous intentions! I will check out your link(thank you for that)..and who knows....maybe something that raises a brow! Whats to lose!!...lol.
thanx man-appreciate it!!..Namaste!!
