New Beginnings
The launching of a label and the dawning of a new history for Canada
I unfortunately had to put Canadian Invasion on hold for a couple of years, but things never do truly stop. And this time I spent some of my at-home time to release my first song under my record label ( after spending a good decade producing songs for others and adding to their award-winning statuses). My Anthem [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ5p-MKXQAk] was written as a song of spiritual encouragement for those going to the dark years of 2020 to 2022. Within days of release, it began charting on a number of charts worldwide, maintaining a position of first on reverb nation for weeks at a time as well as #1 first on the internationally acclaimed Event Digital platform. New company music videos are also a great hit on that platform. It was not my desire at that time however to grow my personal music career as I had much larger Ambitions to fulfill. I set my sights on developing the record label and production company even further.
I put up a cute little video for the city of Barrie where I showcase how I quickly produce Music Live on the spot from my Collingwood studio:

Prior to this time, only students and contracted work saw this side of my production expertise, it was fun to produce on a computer that could barely handle the video editing demands at that time LOL. But was well-received nonetheless. I also produced a 22-part arrangement of Coldplay’s Fix You song that is yet to be released. Song was intended to be sung by the cast of the Canadian Invasion as part of the viral Outreach. We will see what the future brings.
With these exposures I gained the attention of other mover-and-shaker artists in Ontario. Jay Edwards and his family moved from Toronto to Barrie to further his career with me as we began production on the songs:
Dead Is The Line:

Makeshift Rockstars:

And a number of other songs.
Monica Nia also joined with the desire to work directly with Andrew Lane as well as other producers I happen to work with south of the border. If you know me well, you will know that I am not a name-dropper. I just “get things done” on projects as I always do.
This brings me to where we are today:
Spaulding Canada is now fully developed as a record label and is connected to a number of major industry facilitators South of the Border. Some are located in California, others in Philadelphia and New York, etc. Canadian Invasion has now gone far beyond the original “television show”, and is now operating more true to what Andrew Lane first envisioned with Damian Spaulding: a direct and friendly invasion of talent to south of the border and world-wide! I am presently working directly with New York talents as a central hub to reach worldwide distribution and success. We'll also be training a new team.
I would love you to join us in our journey.
Two Master's Classes Are Here!
October 4th and 5th
The internationally renowned Andrew Lane (producer of Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Princess Diaries, and many others) is coming to Canada the first week of October for the Canadian Invasion.
During this time he will be hosting two master classes along-side Zeus Settles (a fellow top producer in the USA as well).
Andrew Lane is a pop-hip hop-R&B record producer and songwriter. He was born in San Diego, California.
Drew has worked with artists such as Backstreet Boys and Irene Cara. As a producer and songwriter, Lane has received gold and platinum accreditations[2] for his work with R&B artists Speech, Keith Sweat, and Alsou. He also worked on the platinum-accredited records High School Musical, Hannah Montana,[3] Disneymania 4, and Manny Fresh.

During that time he got to learn the industry ropes from the inside by riding along with Mark Pitts in daily day-to-day operations of his management company, while directing the careers of his platinum artist “Biggie Smalls” and “Changing Faces.” Further developing his experience and love for writing, he began to work behind the scenes with a D.C. Production headed by Howard Gibson which starred the Award winning Morgan Freeman. Zeus, in which how David is often referred, started as a Production Assistant on the “Guilt by Association” music video short, soon after advancing to the Key PA, then on to A.D. the project in the first two days of production. His passion for the entertainment business has excelled him in countless other projects to including writing and producing records with his daughter Deja. At the tender age of 13, Deja and Zeus would work close with the producer of the famed “High School Musical” soundtrack, Andrew Lane. Collectively producing many records to include the first single of Disney Channels actor/singer, Coco Jones song, “Sweet 13.” Today Zeus is very busy with various projects and still in the business of nurturing young talent along with his talented team of music makers. He says “he was blessed to do great things yesterday, but the best…!” “Never stop writing!”
The two of them will be live and interactive speaking about everything from: How to get noticed by labels, to how to move like a label. For the already established professional, they will reveal great strategies for further success, and for those new to the industry, they will guide you on how to best get started. These two days will guaranteed leave you with a life-long impression, a new pep to your step and a new toolkit for your further development.
