REMEMBERING LIL AARON MOSBY , THE LAS T EMPLOYEE. by Dwight Quinn, CEO. 2/23/2026

Today we pause to remember Lil Aaron Mosby, a recording artist, co-worker, and friend whose presence at Quinn Records TM meant far more than the music he made. Lil Aaron wasn’t just a name on our roster—he was part of the heartbeat of Quinn Records TM. As our last employee in that era, he wore many hats without ever losing his smile: artist, helper, problem-solver, and unofficial ambassador for the label. When things got busy or complicated, he had a way of keeping the room calm, cracking a joke, and reminding us why we were all here in the first place: the love of music. In the studio, Lil Aaron brought a special kind of energy. He lived inside the groove, always searching for that perfect take, that perfect line, that perfect feel. He cared about how the records sounded, but he cared even more about how they made people feel. Whether he was cutting vocals, talking through arrangements, or just hanging out during a late-night session, he had a gift for making everyone around him feel encouraged and included. As an employee, he was dependable in all the quiet ways that don’t always get seen from the outside. He showed up early, stayed late, and stepped in wherever he was needed—hauling gear, helping at events, talking with customers and fans, and keeping the day-to-day moving when things got tough. He understood that a record label is more than contracts and catalogs; it’s people, relationships, and trust. And he honored that with the way he worked. But beyond the music and the business, it’s the personal memories that stay with us: the conversations in the hallway, the laughter between takes, the stories he shared about life, family, and dreams. Lil Aaron had a way of lighting up a space just by being there. Even on hard days, he could shift the mood with a few words or a look that said, “We’ve got this.” Calling him “the last employee” at Quinn Records TM is part history and part tribute. It reminds us of a time when everything ran a little differently, when the label leaned on a small circle of people who gave it their all every single day. Lil Aaron stood at the center of that circle, helping hold everything together with his work ethic, his talent, and his heart. We honor him not only for the music he recorded, but for the life he lived among us. His contributions are in the grooves of the records, in the memories of the sessions, and in the spirit of the label that continues forward. As we look ahead to new chapters and new artists, we carry his example with us—showing up, giving our best, treating people right, and letting the music speak for itself. To Lil Aaron Mosby: thank you for your time, your talent, and your loyalty. You will always be part of the Quinn Records TM story, and you will always be remembered.

Five Reason Why Terrestrial Radio Station Are Still An Infinite Resource For Promoting Your Music.

Reach and Audience Radio promotion, despite the rise of digital platforms, remains a relevant and valuable tool for independent musicians and event organizers to reach a wide audience and build a fanbase.[1] Let's break down why terrestrial radio stations, specifically, still hold significant value. Targeted Marketing Terrestrial radio, encompassing AM and FM stations, boasts a substantial reach, particularly in specific demographics. While streaming services dominate the music consumption landscape, radio maintains a strong presence, especially in cars, where a significant portion of audio listening occurs.[3] Radio stations provide a curated listening experience, introducing listeners to music they might not discover through algorithms alone.[5] This curated approach can be a powerful tool for breaking new artists and exposing them to a broader audience.[5] Credibility and Exposure Radio stations often cater to specific audiences and communities, providing a platform for underrepresented groups to share their perspectives and experiences.[2] This allows for targeted marketing efforts, enabling musicians to reach a highly specific audience and quickly grow their following.[7] Radio stations are also very location and genre specific, which is like targeted marketing for your music.[7] By understanding the station's format and audience, musicians can strategically place their music to resonate with the right listeners.[5] Radio Promotion Strategies Hearing a song on the radio provides a level of credibility and validation that can be challenging to achieve solely through streaming platforms.[5] Radio airplay can lead to increased visibility, brand recognition, and even a dedicated fanbase.[5] Radio stations can also provide critical information, such as local events, traffic, and weather.[2] This exposure can translate into increased music sales, concert attendance, and online engagement.[5] Radio is still breaking new artists.[5] To effectively utilize radio promotion, independent artists can consider several strategies. Researching stations and key people is crucial, understanding their music preferences, demographics, and submission guidelines.[7] Preparing a radio-ready track, professionally recorded and mastered, is essential.[5] Crafting an engaging pitch email or letter, including a press kit, and customizing the pitch for the specific station are also important steps.[5] The Role of College and Community Radio The Importance of Digital Integration College and community radio stations often prove to be more approachable and worthy of an independent musician's energy.[1] These stations are not commercial and are funded by schools or student fees, which allows them to play whatever songs they want.[1] They are friendlier radio stations for DIY and unsigned artists, and they have passionate curators who love connecting with new artists and showcasing new music.[7] The Financial Aspect While terrestrial radio remains relevant, integrating digital strategies is crucial. Radio stations are increasingly using social media and mobile apps to connect with listeners.[4] This includes posting about new artists and music, and using platforms like YouTube to engage with younger audiences.[4] Conclusion While direct payments from radio play may not be substantial, the benefits of radio play are due to exposure, ticket sales to your shows, increasing awareness of your music, Spotify streams, and merch sales.[1] Radio royalties often prove to be more lucrative than streaming platforms.[5] Radio promotion remains a valuable tool for independent musicians, offering reach, targeted marketing opportunities, and a level of credibility that can boost an artist's career. By understanding the different types of radio, researching stations, and implementing effective promotion strategies, independent artists can leverage radio to connect with new audiences and build a dedicated fanbase.
