SUPPORTING INDEPENDENT ARTISTS!

NovemberStar Entertainment was created as another alternative for Indie Musicians to promote their music without waiting for the big recording companies to sign them up. We are familiar with the traditional music industry and do not like what we have seen. Artists and fans both deserve a better way and the Internet provides a better way.

The big music companies, who are petitioning to lower artists' shares of digital music sales, while at the same time suing tens of thousands of music seekers, look out for themselves and themselves alone. New technologies now allow artists to promote their music directly to the public and allow music fans to take control of their own music enjoyment. This site is dedicated to promoting the use of that technology by both artists and music seekers - resulting in better music, better music enjoyment, and better treatment of artists and fans.

George J. Little, founder of NovemberStar Entertainment, is one of the attorneys battling the big record companies of the RIAA in their reign of terror against digital music lovers. The big label recording companies don't play fair . . . so let's take them out of the equation!

OUR MISSION is to help artists promote their music independently and to help music fans find Independent, DRM free, music to suit their tastes.

Notar

At the age of 17, Notar left his Connecticut home with trumpet and track sneakers in hand, and headed for University of Dayton, Ohio on a music scholarship. This move to the heartland would begin to inform and define his musical direction in unexpected ways.

As a fan of Golden Age era hip-hop and grimy mid-90s east coast hip-hop, Notar began experimenting with the kind of rhyming schemes, catchy hooks and imagery that define his music today. He cut his chops at any venue that would have him, from rhyming in the streets to house parties and weekly battles at the iconic Night Owl bar. Eventually, Notar formed an experimental 7-piece band, Duck Sauce which had its share of success touring through college towns in the Midwest.

After college, Notar made his way to New York City where by day, he paid his dues at Octone Records (doing promo work for Maroon 5) and Sean P. Diddy Combs's Bad Boy label. By night, he honed his craft at showcases and open mic nights. His performances at such renowned NYC haunts as The Knitting Factory, Bowery Ballroom & CBGB's caught the ear of music insiders and he scored a single deal at Ultra Records. The resulting "Intoxicated" was a bubbly, hip-hop dance floor starter that won praise overseas from European and Japanese DJ's. The B-side, "Buckfooly" was the real gem, defining Notar's lyrically animalistic approach with a touch of nihilism, womanizing and rock star partying.

Adam Duritz of Counting Crows and principal of Tyrannosaurus Records, was drawn in by (Mike) Notar's subtle word-smithing and complex imagery - the driving beat and dead-on hooks made the music impossible to forget. Their meeting sparked a collaboration that joined the newcomer with The Devil and The Bunny Show (production team of Adam Duritz and David "Immy" Immerglück) for Notar's debut album.
