October 2023 Status Report
Another month in the books. October was a big month for PXVBS.
After a solid year so far with 3 albums released this year alone (Point NEMO was 11 songs released in April) (CRMSN & SCRLT were both 9 songs apiece released in September), we find ourselves rounding the corner into the 4th quarter of 2023. This is an excellent time to fill everyone in on the exciting developments we are making, and share the game plan to carry us through the holiday season.
Typically in the music industry, I’ve heard that the 4th quarter is pretty slow and professional artist teams don’t drop many projects around this time of the year. This may be the case for artists in the mainstream, however we don’t do things the mainstream way over here at Phoenix Vibes Entertainment. In fact, we are just warming up, as we have tons of new music on the way down the pipeline and set to release before 2023 ends. “Point NEMO” and “CRMSN” & “SCRLT” are some of PXVBS’ best work to date by every measure and we have lots to be excited about.
First of all…
Due to your loyalty and your status as a PXVIP Member, You have been granted access to listen to the new music before anyone else even gets the chance!

Regarding the business side of things:
This month, our stats were looking pretty solid, mostly due to the increase of PXVBS social media content output. This has been a huge focal point of the organization for some time and it has suffered in the past due to insufficient equipment and marketing expertise amongst the team, but due to PXVBS acquiring a brand new Apple MacBook at the beginning of the year, and subsequently procuring a full time job at a professional advertising agency, the output of higher quality social media content has sparked a resurgence in momentum for the movement and we are only expected to grow exponentially from here.
Take a look at some of our statistics for the past 4 weeks:

Instagram Stats
As you can see from the information we’ve collected, we are seeing a huge increase in activity on our YouTube Page, mostly due to the consistent uploading of PXVBS’ 2019 Project called “Jumanji” which was never actually uploaded to YouTube at the time of release. We scheduled each of the 100 songs on “Jumanji” to upload sporadically at least once per day since around the middle of September, and the steady consistency of uploading every single day has clearly given our YouTube algorithm much more stimulation. This is a promising stat to see doing well, as YouTube is one of the platforms that will pay creators well after a certain point.
One thing we didn’t share right now is our TikTok stats, as those are hard to capture in a screen shot. We are at 699 followers as of right now and at 1,000 followers we achieve the ability to go LIVE on TikTok. This is an absolute game changer, because our ability to broadcast to hundreds, even thousands of new listeners EVERY NIGHT and freestyle in an engaging way to these people can turn them into lifelong fans and is something that could separate PXVBS from other artists on TikTok at an explosive rate.
The goal is also to expand to begin doing these live stream freestyle sessions on X (Twitter) which we rarely use at the moment, and also turn these freestyle sessions into (podcast?) style audio clips that PXVIP Members like you can listen to BEFORE we record the song demos. This will give fans an even deeper look at the creative process of PXVBS which is truly unique in that every single song is freestyled first and then turned into a demo shortly after. Also working on a strategy that involves letting the public listen and PICK which track we will record and release next to keep things exciting along the way. The goal is to be more and more transparent about the creative journey over time, as we have been secretive about the sauce for many years now. Hopefully this will help people see that we really do make magic over here and this brand is something special.
So overall:
-Unreleased Music is now available to you called “The Confidentials”
-The YouTube is gaining momentum quick
-We can almost go LIVE on TikTok So LIVE Streaming our process is on the way
-Expanding our reach by adding more platforms such as X (Twitter) into our social media strategy
-Developing a method to release freestyle sessions to the public so that fans can vote on new songs that end up in “The Confidentials” and eventually on our catalog.
This feature is being called “The Classifieds” so stay tuned for more behind the scenes on the songwriting process
+Expect more videos of old/UNRELEASED songs being promoted in new visually engaging ways
+Expect more DUET verses from producer open verse challenges on TikTok
+Expect more new singles
