PURPLE CARPET FAB: Bryan O’Quinn’s Neo-soul Train takes off to places other independent artists don’t go.

Comprehensive businessman and music producer Bryan O’Quinn has a long history of promoting developments in popular and underground music, stretching back to the early new jack swing and early hip hop house music era of the late 80’s and early 1990’s.

In music, independent music, often shortened to indie music or "indie" is a term used to describe independence from major commercial record labels or their subsidiaries, and an autonomous, Do-It-Yourself approach to recording and publishing. The 1990s brought Affiliated Independent Record Companies (AIRCO), whose most notable member was upstart punk - thrash label Mystic Records and The Independent Music Retailer's Association (IMRA), a short-lived organization founded by Mark Wilkins and Don Kulak

MP3 files and digital download sites such as Apple's iTunes changed the recording industry, an indie Neo-soul scene soon emerged from the urban Underground soul scenes of London, NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago and L.A., primarily due to commercial radio and the major label's focus on the marketing, promotion & Airplay of Pop and hip hop music during this period.

Bryan O’Quinn believes that too many young artist today seem to focus their work on outdoing the next artist with such an unrealistic emphasis on the superficial aspects of show business. “I believe that creating good music is not about competition at all but rather communicating a your message or telling your story , Mr. O’Quinn explains “ nobody else can tell your story the way you can your story, through your passion and your spirit in your music”. Bryan said, “This is true in any field if you keep doing what you love it will in turn yield so much more to you and to others around you!”
