Terra Naomi is proof that artists today can use social media marketing instead of a record label to launch and maintain thriving musical careers. After leaving Island Universal Records in 2008, Terra decided to forge ahead with what launched her career as a musical artist: The desire to connect with her fans in a more personal way via numerous online videos and webcasts, and her interactive website.

Title: You For Me Release date: Feb 1, 2010 Record label: indie Single: Official website: Terra Naomi Buy at: Amazon
Terra's current tour is to promote, “You For Me” EP. The album is available on iTunes now with a full-length album expected in early 2010. After posting a ‘Tour Support Fund Drive’ video on YouTube, she raised her $5,000.00 goal in two week’s time. With over 15 million views of her homemade videos on YouTube, nearly 35,000 subscribers, and an unparalleled interactive dialogue with fans, Terra is once again at the forefront of the new direct artist-to-fan model and can’t wait to test out the viability of this approach when she hits the road this month.
In 2006, Terra was a pioneer in the digital age of music when she posted a series of videos filmed in her Hollywood apartment. Naming it her “Virtual Summer Tour,” Terra went on to win the first-ever YouTube Award for Best Music Video in 2006 for her song/video “Say It’s Possible,” inspired by Al Gore’s film, An Inconvenient Truth. A chance meeting with Mr. Gore led to a solo performance at Wembley Stadium in London as part of the Live Earth concert in July 2007.
