PLATINUM PRODUCER OR PLATINUM COMPOSER?
What is a Platinum Composer? PLATINUM COMPOSERS may not sell a million records but they do make a million dollars (and more). PLATINUM COMPOSERS have scored at least 500 commercials, themes, and promos. To define this term further, let us examine the word "platinum." In the glamorous world of music and entertainment, the term Platinum represents excellence in record sales. When we hear Platinum, we may think of one million records being sold. Double Platinum and triple platinum reflect 2 and 3 million records sold. This Platinum seal carries with it a new level of fame, glamour, and intrigue. To say that you are a Platinum producer may bring about a sense of pride and achievement. A guest spot on CRIBS, invites to walk on the Red carpet, and an overflowing bank account represent the promised rewards of being a Platinum Producer.

They call it surveying the field. I have been able to survey the field and make my way through various industries with a level of honesty, efficiency, and confidence.
