Welcome to the world of Brett Jolly

Great music is never just heard… It is “felt!”

This site is dedicated to those who support the “preservation of quality music.” New AI companies are attempting to “recreate the industry to supply us with “their own artificial” brand of music (in place of authenticity).” Their objective is to “simply eliminate creativity from musicians and songwriters and replace it with their synthetic music renditions.”  Our objective is to “keep quality music alive through the human element.” If you feel the same way then we invite you to help save it. Please feel free to donate through cash app at $Eltonbrettjolly.

Feature Video (posted every few couple of days)

Below is our "Feature Video:" Periodically we will post a video and give an honest assessment of it. The art of preserving music is also exhibited through the video used to "enhance" the music. A bad video will "destroy" a good song. Below is Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of all and below it is an assessment:

Video assessment: A great video is often portrayed “by the story it tells.” I love this video because it shows how the concept of the song actually led to Whitney’s own success. At first she is singing onstage to an empty house, but then childhood scenes reflect on her own life and rise to stardom. The story is further personified by the role of Whitney’s mother, Cissy Houston, who plays a “prominent role” in the video. A touching scene is shown when the childhood little girl version of Whitney walks onstage and merges into the adult Whitney. This video is great because it didn’t cost millions of dollars to put it all together but it still makes you “feel” the plot. We rank this video 10 out of 10. If you have a recommendation for a video that you would like to feature please email your suggestion to me at Eltonjolly@gmail.com

"Questions and Answers"

Supporting music also involves “understanding the principles and aspects” of it. Brett Jolly has been in the music industry for many years and is willing to answer any questions artists may have. A LOT of artists (old and young) don’t know what to do or where to go to enhance their careers. If you email me your questions (and make a small cash app donation to $Eltonbrettjolly) I will “gladly” answer your questions right here (or if you prefer, I will respond to you “privately.” Email me at Eltonjolly@gmail.com. I look forward to interacting with “everyone.”

Question from Antoinette in California: I am a singer who has had a good career locally but I want to expand my market to newer areas. I have dealt with club owners with ulterior motives and this has turned me off from the business. What can I do to enhance my own career? Answer:  This question has been asked by a “lot” of females who simply want to make an honest career in the business. The most important thing any artist should do is “promote themselves”  BEFORE attempting to book any gigs. This gives you value and credibility. If a male club owner feels you have nothing going for you then he may try to “run his game” if he feels any attraction towards you. Unfortunately this happens a “lot” in the business. However, if you have already promoted yourself (with song, video, press releases and more) then the owner (or manager) has no choice but to look at you from the professional “marketing” aspect. This should alleviate any “crazy notions” from the start. Also you may want to hire a “stand-in man” to pretend he is your husband or boyfriend. You can speak for yourself but have him there just in case “stupidity shows it’s ugly face.”

Live Performances

Catch the energy of The Brett Jolly Experience band as we bring fun, excitement and cover songs to life on stage. We are a unit that actually loves to play “everything.” We have great ears for music. We will play any songs we know, but we will also play songs we “don’t” know. If someone has a specific request (that we have never heard), we will listen to the song on Youtube and simply go “play it.” How many bands can do that on the spot? Click here to check out samples:

Photography

Photography here is “different.” While many like portrait pictures Brett Jolly does pictures that go a step beyond and tell the whole story. His “fantasy photos” are designed to bring out the “inner person within you.” Attitude plays a large part in this and Brett will take your pictures “any place.” He can remove the background and place you “anywhere.” Brett will help you create an artful masterpiece through a camera lens. If you can “dream it,” Brett will help you “create it.” Check out his samples here.

About Me: I don't measure myself by how loud I can play. I will "gladly" turn down if it makes the group as a whole sound great. I have "perfect pitch" which means I can pick up songs "on the spot." I have had to listen to shows on tape and then go out to play them with no rehearsal. You can call me when you need a substitute and have no time to rehearse anything. I will play it all.

I’m Brett Jolly, a bass player (I also play bass synthesizer) and singer who’s shared the stage with some of music’s biggest names, blending passion with experience. I started playing piano at the age of 4. My parents bought a piano one day and the very next morning I taught myself how to play the song “Stand by Me” on it, by Ben E. King. Through the years Brett played basketball, but the more he played basketball the better he got at music. In 7th grade someone brought a bass guitar over the house and Brett started playing it immediately. Since then Brett has traveled the world and played for “so many.” Brett can also sing (and hit some really low vocal notes).
