05.17 | Kiefer Sutherland and producer Jude Cole form new record label

Actor Kiefer Sutherland and producer Jude Cole have formed their own record label, Ironworks, to promote musicians other studios are passing by.

Sutherland built the Los Angeles recording studio operated by Cole, his rock musician and producer friend.

Sutherland told the TV tabloid show "Extra," the idea for Ironworks came from seeing "fantastic artists who were not getting signed" by other recording companies.

"We started Ironworks to be about real artists," Cole said.

As reported on this site before, Kiefer Sutherland fancies himself as a bit of a Simon Cowell-type.

I saw your interview on TV last night and heard about Ironworks. I am a proud father whose son's band got their first real break and they are unsigned. They will be playing 4 nights a week at the Monte Carlo hotel in Las Vegas starting July 1 fot the month. I thought seeing them might be productive for you as well as them.You can also check them out at www.thejointchiefs.com Good luck and thanks.

Hi, I saw your interview on t.v. and the web site you gave for www.Ironworks.com, comes up as an IT company. Also my Husbands band is called "IRONWORKS", from Newfoundland. The ULR, I gave you is where my CD is, and you can hear bits of my original music, and my singing.I am an unsigned artist. Also I was one of you extra's in RED DOOR. Lots of luck with your new studio. Allison Prior Mount Pearl Nfld. Canada

My mother is managing my uncle's band, Step Short, and we have been trying to find record companies to hopefully get Step Short signed. If you could e-mail me with some information on the record company and contact information that I can send to my mother, that would be fantastic.

Hi Mr. or Mrs. My name is Charles Janosck and I live in Canada, I'm 16 years old. I would like to ask you about the recording studio. There are very long time that I'm looking for a producer and a studio to make a Demo CD, just want to write few songs and mix it a make it full, to be professional. But my budget is not high and I want to ask help from you to help me out. I want to be a R&B/Pop artist, because I'm an asia, and I would like to be the first asian to make something Top of all. To make something very special, because I never saw asian in the music industry make something new or special as an artist R&B/Pop. This is what I want in my life, to be proud of myself once. It might be a hard work, I know but I know that I can handle it. The only thing, I need is someone to help me and find the other side of me. I know life is short and I have to enjoy life. And for me is to be inside a studio in front of a microphone and headphone and start to sing. I'm only 16 years old and I truly know that I have a lot to learn, what I want exaclty, to be precise is to become an artist but start my career young as possible. I have a lot of inspiration by others singers, example Luther Vandross, Lionel Richie, the Jackson family, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, Usher, and more who had good success in their career. If there something that you can do help me out about this project you can contact me by e-mail or call me at my phone number at the bottom. I just want to tell you that I still go to school and I don't want to give up. Because I just want to reach college and I'll see what will I do later. What I mean is to become a singer as teenager and keep going to school. There's nothing else that I want to do as job, but sing. Go on Tour, promote my album and do my own business. My parent don't want me to work in that domain, but if I have the chance I want to show them what I can do. Thank you for yoi precious understanding!

Hi Mike, you might be able to contact Jude Cole through his pop/rock band The Records. Jude Cole is a producer and the only American in The Records, since the other guys are British. The Records had some good songs like Starry Eyes which they sometimes play the video for on VH1 Classic. For example, Jude sang about half of the songs on the Crashes album and he played lead guitar on there. My favorite songs Jude sings are Hearts In Her Eyes and The Worriers and Rumour Sets The Woods Alight. Good luck to your son, Xavier

Hi Mike, if you email Jude Cole, please let me know how it goes. The Records official site is http://www.therecords.org and I hope Jude is as nice a guy as Kieffer is. Good luck, Xavier

The actual URL of the Ironworks'site is www.ironworksmusic.com. I'm not sure there are any addresses on there. If you contact me privately I can see what I can do.

hello, my son is 24 plays a killer lead, writes all of his own music... he has a band, and is preparing to make a cd. his voice is deep and bluzy...his music is enjoyed by young adults thru ages of 60. everyone that hears him, says that boy should be in new york! he is so talented, and i am trying to encourage him to do a very special project... he will become a father in september... i have died with each missing child, and for their parents, who have to give up their lives, jobs, house payments, to go search for their children... most of these people have a month to month income.... i am trying to get him and some other groups to write and donate alittle time to create a cd that can be promoted and sold with profits to help these families, so they can atleast know, while they grieve, and search, their home payments or rent will be secure.... i will never forget little carly in florida, as we all watched on video, her being taken away by that monster... i would prefer the music to be with a strong message that our children will never be forgotten..what more can i do to encourage him to get this project moving? sincerely, sharon

"Hello" I think that what your doing aside of your powerful acting career is brilliant. I think that Ironworks will become a success further into the future and I think that If you want it to grow increasingly better, always make sure that the people who come in and show off there talent, for you and Jude, really and truly want to make it in the music industry and are not just wanting to play games or say, "Dude, Ive met Kiefer Sutherland, How cool is that". I, myself have been singing since I was 8 and have been trying for so long to become something more than just a faze. I have involved myself in with alot of phonys who ask for particular things, that Im unable to give, such as money. If anything, I would like to be successful in the music industry, so that I can give back what my family, my loved ones and my friends had given to me. That would be the world, of course, but they can settle for my music.

There are tons of people out there who have the gift of voice and music, but it is hard when you dont have the right contacts to help get you get to where you want to be. It is even more difficult when you are promised a ticket to fame, but the door is soon closed in your face and your battling other closed doors as well. I guess you should be more willing to strive for a chance to succeed, but not for the fame, but because it is where your heart and soul has longed to be. (Example)Almost a year ago, I sent out my demo, a few pictures and a biography of myself to 10 huge record companys.I have yet to recieve a response from any of them. I could give up and say to myself. "Your a failure and you will never make it" but Im not personally a negative person and music is where my heart longs to be, so I'll keep trying. Anyone out there who has the dream of music, dont give up. Keep trying even if it it looks as though, you will never get there. Have faith in yourself..always. PS: I think that Ironworks is simply a blessing to those who have been turned away by everyone else. Still, I have no idea how to contact that certain studio. I dont know the address or any other information about it. If anyone does, please let me know. Thanks N.Ford

Good day Kiefer and Jude! I am a fifty year old Icelander living in Reykjavik, and have just read about your new company. A company that would like to help young musicians in their quest for more opportunities. My eldest, Svenni who is 29 and some kind of a genious in his musicmaking. He has made music for a musical and it was a real success in our town. If you would like to give his music a chance you are able to listen to a fraction of them on my website www.netsaga.is. Greatest news from Iceland How do you do, before you read my letter you must realize that with your response to it or feedback you will be taking part in something that will change the world to the better for everybody. My name's Olafur Thor Eiriksson, a teacher by education and living in Reykjavik, Iceland, but further information about me can be found in my autobiography, "My Incredible Struggle After the Accident" which can be read on my website www.netsaga.is. I have got a colorful past that has been marked with two serious accidents and their consiquences, but in the wake of the former I was completely paralized below my neck,dumb, without any memory, a hole through a lung and many broken bones. My struggle has mostly been about finding a job appropriate for me as a cripple. When I was working for the disables in my area Sudurnes for 6 years (1986-92) I located 75 jobs for all kinds of handicapped people, but what really made my job difficult was the fact that appropriate jobs for the handicapped were quite scarce. When I lost my job in 1992, the times were very bad, and I was forced to go to a doctor and get a certificate that I were handicapped, unable to work. But instead of idling I began writing stories and articles both in Icelandic and English with the hope at heart that sometime this work of mine would come of use somehow. All the time I had my eyes open for approriate jobs for people with lesser ability to work; disables. With the last turn of century I started putting all my writings on my own website for the purpose of giving others a chance to come to know my radical thinking. The Project The idea about www.netsaga.is came to me in 2003, when I decided to create my own website which would give writers some salary each time someone reads their stories, poems or articles. When I was still working and trying to locate jobs for the handicapped I noticed that many of them had a hobby of writing stories and poems in their loneliness at home and realized that some of it were real gold nuggets that would enrichen other's lives were they able to read it. Because I haven't got any skills for programming I wrote to companies asking for some assistance. The Power Plant in Reykjavik answered me and told me they would like to support my good ideas. Netsaga.is became real in that year with all my writings to begin with, but because of the high expence the company wasn't able to pay for the complete programming thus making the website a real company that could make money for its writers. Therefore I have been seeking more support elsewhere. Netsaga.is gets created Throughout the years I've been writing all kinds of stories and articles, in Icelandic to begin with and then translated it to English for a reason I didn't know what was. Two years ago I got the idea about Netsaga.is, as said before, my own website where I could put all my writings for others to enjoy perhabs. When it had been created I got the idea of giving other hobby-writers a chance to put their own work on it along with me; stories, poems and articles. Since then many Icelanders have done me the honours. I have translated most of it to English. January 7. 2005 I received two articles by email from an Indian journalist working in New Delhi, India, thus making him the first of foreigners to have writings on Netsaga.is. I have for most of my life wanted to do something worthwhile making people's lives better. I want to develop my website further, making it a site where people are able to read and/or write stories, poems and articles having paid a little fee in a similar way as is done on www.blogit.com. On Blogit.com half of the paid fees goes to the owners, but the other half gets devided between the writers, the bloggers according to how much each one gets read. On Netsaga.is the devision would be different. Half of the fees would go to the writers on the one hand, but on the other them and the translators of all the languages that will make it possible for all nations to use Netsaga.is, as writers and /or readers. My wish is that if all nations could and would want to exchange stories, poems and articles on the Internet we would be able to increase the understanding between people on this wonderful Earth of ours, the tolerance and peace. The other half of the fees would be devided between the conductors on one hand and the UN on the other, perhabs UNICEF. With participation in Netsaga.is, either as writers or readers people could assist in improving the world in the same time that the writers had a chance to introduce themselves and get paid for their work as well. I believe that mine and your ideals are the same, but I'm seeking your help in improving the world with all measures. A nature friendly company that made use of the minds of men and women, handicapped folks just as those who are not would become real. Introduction to Netsaga.is In the coming weeks after Netsaga.is had been introduced to the Internet either I kept on sitting infront of my computer emailing introductions to many Icelandic and English websites (mostly the media) telling myself that the sitting crow will starve but the flying one live, or I distributed my cards to many people in the Reykjavik-area. I must admit that I abused the datelines, emailing men and women having the consequence that I have often been banned because of the complaints from other users, lonely people who misunderstood my kindness and been called non printable names by some shy great men who are hiding their identity behind stupid names but some believed that perhabs I was some homo trying to get into their pants. This activity of mine has in some cases almost driven me over my sanity because of the energy but has really made great success and I have been getting emails of thanks and encouragement from all over the world and you can read about on www.netsaga.is. It tickled my vanity a bit when I received a proposal from 12 editors of newspapers in London, England, who had liked my website so incredibly that they had in a summoned meeting talked about this "young" Icelander whom they believed to be only 29 years of age considering his style who wrote these amuzing articles and stories. For the reason they were looking for a foreign columnist for their joint website www.newsshopper.co.uk they decided to get me for the job. I decided to be their foreign columnist for a while. I was quite amuzed getting an email from an English lady who teaches English litterature at a university in Milan, Italy. She wrote that she had found and read my articles on News Shopper and had liked so incredibly how fresh my writings about various matters were and especially my beautiful English that happened to be so amuzingly old-fashioned and so good that it was almost unchanged after the editing. I emailed her my deepest thanks but didn't mention the reason for my ancient language, which is my outdated vocabulary since I was in junior college, menntaskoli! And I found one email extremely special, it was from a 23 year old South-African former prostitude who in her rehabilitation had found my site while browsing on the Net. She read and read and became more and more interested in visiting the wonderful nation living on my island of fire and ice. At the moment I'm writing this article the counter shows the high number of 54508 which is quite high and the visits each day are in the tens and hundreds. The number of stories and poems that have been emailed to the website is quite high and I have received a short story from an Icelandic woman in Australia and 2 articles from an Indian journalist as before told. Despite the fact that the financial support I've received is very appreciated I must say that still I need more support if I am to be able to create the company I want to make. French translators in 10-11 A few weeks ago in the retail store by Austurstraeti, Reykjavik, while sitting at the long table at the window reading some newspaper, a young french couple took seats by my side, and their young son who had some plastic soldier in one hand, was busy fighting the imagined enemy acting both roles with appropriate sputtering. -These boys are the same everywhere, I greet them nicely. They agree obviously happy with my intervention and thus we began a chat that will possibly change the world's history in some way, because when I'd given them my card and told them about my dreams concerning my baby Netsaga.is, they seemed to have true interest. He told me that he was some kind of a programmer and liked my ideas, but wanted to wait until they had browsed my website before deciding whether to take part or not. Two days later I received an email from them, where they told me that they had liked my site, and they would like to translate for me. A few days later they emailed me their first translation which can be seen on "Message of the day". I've contacted a lot of potential translators who would like to work for my site when it's ready for paying them salary. It's also a fact that many handicapped have the knowledge and ability to work on the site as writers or translators. Then my dream of giving appropriate jobs to a lot of people with disabilities will have come true!! The Needed Amount of Money Just for the reason of changing a popular website from one who is free of charge and gives no income into another that will hopefully become a company which will stretch its limbs allover the world and will give a lot of people high wages, I will need much assistance in appropriate knowledge and technology, but first and foremost I'll need money enabling me to pay for it. Until now I've been very busy begging allover and a few guys have supported the project with quite handsome sums. Reykjavik's Power Plant as mentioned before. Reykjavik city supported it with 100,000 kroners Halldor Asgrimsson Iceland's Prime Minister with 50,000 Gudni Agustsson Minister of Agriculture with 50,000 Jon Kristjansson Minister of Health with 100,000 Can you please help me in my quest? Perhabs by telling others about "www.netsaga.is", the English version or forwarding this letter? Please let me know what decision you will take! Best regards Olafur Thor Eiriksson netsaga@netsaga.is Reykjavik, Iceland

It's also a fact that many handicapped have the knowledge and ability to work on the site as writers or translators. Then my dream of giving appropriate jobs to a lot of people with disabilities will have come true!! The Needed Amount of Money Just for the reason of changing a popular website from one who is free of charge and gives no income into another that will hopefully become a company which will stretch its limbs allover the world and will give a lot of people high wages, I will need much assistance in appropriate knowledge and technology, but first and foremost I'll need money enabling me to pay for it. Until now I've been very busy begging allover and a few guys have supported the project with quite handsome sums. Reykjavik's Power Plant as mentioned before. Reykjavik city supported it with 100,000 kroners Halldor Asgrimsson Iceland's Prime Minister with 50,000 Gudni Agustsson Minister of Agriculture with 50,000 Jon Kristjansson Minister of Health with 100,000 Can you please help me in my quest? Perhabs by telling others about "www.netsaga.is", the English version or forwarding this letter? Please let me know what decision you will take! Best regards Olafur Thor Eiriksson netsaga@netsaga.is Reykjavik, Iceland

Hello Kiefer, My stage name is "Nana Carol", am 70 years old and reviving a blues/jazz singer career. Have one CD and am starting another. Am successfully entertaining the patrons Of the London Music Club from time to time. It seems there is a definite audience out there for someone like me. I have become an inspiration to those who have seen me perform as "never just lay down and die, keep the spirit alive and bring joy to others". I live in London, Ontario, Canada.

Hello Kiefer and Jude: I am a female singer/songwriter. Born in England, raised in Canada, lived in California for a year. Have tried for YEARS to get a record deal, with no luck. Auditioned for major label in LA...they said I was 'exceptional' and my songwriting was 'excellent'...but I'm not under 25 years old anymore...Music is the only industry that seems to value youth over style and substance...a shame. I one day will be launching my own internet tv show 'Raine TV' where I will be promoting indie artists regardless of their age and based on their talent. In the meantime, until that happens, I am seeking opporutnities to have my songs placed in TV and film and to have younger artists record my material. If you get a chance, please visit my website to listen to some clips www.raine.ca Any feedback you have is appreciated. All the best to you.

Hi my names is Stacey, and I just want to wish you nothing but the best to you and Kiefer in the music industry, and everything you two guys do in your life you both Rock!!!. But I have a wish and that is to meet with my idol Kiefer, I just think that he is the most hottest guy ever, and with all the bad stuff that has gone in my life with my father having cancer, and my mother taking a very bad fall and injuring herself really bad, and a sister who has a very bad case of depression, and trying to take the best care of my two very special niece's that I have, so when it gets really bad at times I take my nieces away from all the bad for a while because we all have been through so much in this life time, and those girls need to have a normal life those girls, they don’t need to be around such illness like that all the time, so I take them away for the day to put smiles back onto their faces for a bit, but as a family we all try to make the best out of things, but it is so hard just when you think its going to be ok something bad always happens, but then when i get very upset with things I go right to the television and watch the show 24, or go onto my computer and do some research on Kiefer because that is the only thing that makes me feel better, because Kiefer is the best cure for any ailment, and my dream is to meet with my idol Kiefer and spend a whole day with him because he is the most unbelievable guy ever he rocks, so if he can help me with my wish come true that would make me feel very special ,I know this is asking a bit much and I know that this wish of mine wont come true but a girl can try. Once again Mr. Cole I am so sorry to bother you with this but I know that you and Kiefer are close so if you can just pass this message on it would mean the world to me, and you as a very special, and caring, person that you are will always have a very special place in my heart, just for hearing me in letter. Once again thank you very much and if you want to contact me my e mail address is mswallyturnbuckle@yahoo.com Love Always, Stacey Martin
