Hey Madame Gandhi, tell us about your experience working with Copycats Media.

Working with Copycats was the best choice I could have made. Justin and his team were so responsive and flexible. They took the project seriously as though it was their own music and were committed to making sure that the sound was excellent, the product was stunning and that I was happy. I will definitely be doing my next record with them.

Why is having physical product important to you?

It is important to me to have a physical product because fans love to commemorate an experience they loved with physical memorabilia. It is amazing to see fans come off the show energized and excited to take home the music and memory of the show. They also know it’s their contribution to financially support the artist. I love being able to sign the record, while still knowing the fans can access the music with the digital download card. Vinyl also has a higher audio fidelity for those who love strong good quality physical sound. Finally, it encourages listening to the album from start to finish, and often, multiple times through, which the digital listening experience does not.
