Thank you to everyone who’s checked out my Pledge profile and helped out! It’s only been a week since we started, and already 25% of my pledge has been raised – holy crap you people are awesome!
If you’re just now hearing about this thing I’m doing, here’s the deal…
Meet Erik Hassle, a 20 year old Swedish singer-songwriter who has already graced the stage with established acts such as Little Boots and Mika.

Who wants to make my dreams come true?
Today I am finally “launching” (sounds like I’m shooting into space or something) my Pledge Music “campaign” (sounds like I’m running for office or something) – like I’ve been talking about for WEEKS via this blog that I’ve been writing (for the 4 or 5 of you who actually read it).\
“Launch” and “campaign;” such BIG, wordy words for what in actuality are a few key factors that are important for me …
I was all over Hollywood last night; I started out at The Roxy for a pop showcase.
I was there to support my friend Christopher Ciccone who is working with a new female vocalist – Ash Wednesday – who is on a small LA indie label. Before she performed, two different rappers opened and what I watching was unreal, it was so old and tired, my God are people still making music like this?
Then Ash Wednesday came on. …
Drum Roll Please…
Presenting the new album cover for my upcoming album, “When I Was Yours.”
I am such a cheese ball.
Yeah so my ridiculously talented friend, Daley Hake, took that photo of me recently. It’s actually my reflection in a puddle – how crazy is that? I then asked my brainiac friend, Justin Burrow, to use his design powers for the cover. My album release show will take place May 13th @ The Hotel Café – make sure to …

So this is what I’ve been up too…
This past week I met with my personal A&R “guru”, Michael Rosenblatt, at LP33 to film my first video blog situation for the web.
It was really fun bantering back and forth with Michael, except I hope I don’t look like an idiot. While playing one of my songs, my hand totally froze up on me and I had to stop playing and take an advil. I realized that I had been …
I’m really starting to like this girl. Jamie came by the office today so we could do some on camera stuff and while in the office she played me a couple of new songs. As an A&R guy I couldn’t be happier – Jamie was two for two.
The first song “We Fade Away” has a strong chorus; Jamie’s vocals are huge and the hook is really catchy, not to mention there is a great bridge where she wants …
Keifer Sutherland on set of "24" during his LP33.tv interview.
We were lucky enough to have time to sit in with one of the hottest stars in the business, Kiefer Sutherland. You’ll get to see the interview soon, but check out this first-hand account from LP33.tv Head of Production, Jorge Roberto Ramirez.
It was a normal Friday morning as we pulled into the crew parking of the hugely popular 24 set. We were scheduled to interview the world famous Kiefer …
This past week I got a ton of monotonous leg-work done. I can’t BELIEVE how many things online I gotta sign up for as an independent artist. It’s a lot of work in order to be up-to-date with all the latest as far as web presence goes.
I FINALLY got a Gmail account, which is hilarious, but one thing in particular I am pretty stoked about is Music Glue. You can basically download a couple of my songs coming out on …
