Sin, "Heavy Grind"
Michael Rivera, also known as Sin, was born in Bushwick Brooklyn, New York. He was inspired by music at a very young age. Dealing with the struggles of being a first generation Nuyorican 80’s baby in New York City and raised by a single mom, Sin turned to music.
Sin has turned many bad situations into a good by sharing his experiences, thoughts and views of life through his music. With hopes for change, Sin's mother moved the family to the Lower East Side of New York. Going to school in the L.E.S gave Sin the opportunity to study instruments such as the violin, bass and piano which prompted the awarding several performing arts scholarships. With such a musical background, Sin delivers his own sound to Hip Hop. Growing up listening to the founders and legends of Hip Hop, throughout his transformation, Sin has grown with the culture and in its purest form a true product of Hip Hop.
Now, Founder of Heavy Grind Studios in NYC, there is no limits to his musical creativity and abilities.Get to Know Sin |

 It’s hard to engage people.
Not everyone is inherently witty, or naturally outgoing.
Beyond sharing links, promoting others and sometimes yourself, what else can you do to keep fans engaged and not wondering whether to “unlike” you?
You can start motivating your fans by sending out a call to action. These are any actions thatget your fan-base actively involved towards a goal of your choosing.
Facebook and Twitter are both networks where calls to action will work effectively.
Try out some of the following and see what works with your fan-base.
1. Checklists
Come up with a weekly checklist for fans that involves watching a video, commenting on a blog post, listening to a song on your Bandcamp page and sharing that song with two other people.

While a lot of your promotional efforts can be concentrated online these days, it’s a good idea to take a look at offline methods and see which ones are still effective for marketing your music.
Here are a few simple ideas to help market your music offline. But don’t rely on only these, be sure to have regular brainstorming sessions and see what other ideas you can come up with.
Traditional Press
While newspapers are on the way out, they still have an aura of credibility that some music blogs seem to lack.
Start small. Get in contact with your local paper and try to get into the weekly entertainment listings. Once that’s done, try emailing the relevant entertainment reporter about doing a piece on your band.
Keep in mind that this will only work if you have just released a new CD, gone on an exciting tour while representing your hometown, won some kind of national competition, or are playing a large charity show.
The key here is to have something newsworthy to sell the editor.
If you don’t get any bites, be persistent.
A spread on an influential paper could be a good conversation starter when trying to convince a festival promoter to book your act.

There are endless ways to market your music online and it can all sometimes become a bit overwhelming.
Advice is being thrown at you from all directions and all kinds of “experts”.
But, it’s important to realize that many musicians who’ve had success marketing themselves online have done so in completely opposite ways.
Whatever methods you choose, make sure it is something that works for you and your fan-base.
Here are just a few ideas to get you started.
Offer Free Downloads
One of the best ways to get people immediately listening to your music is by allowing them to download some of it for free and listen to it on their own time.
Give away a new single, an EP, or even a whole album.
Doing this allows people who are hearing you for the first time, to decide if your music is a good fit for them. If they like what the hear, they may just stick around.
