Al Gomes is a great self promoter. He is linked throughout the internet. From blogs to the company sponsored websites, he is well known. He can even boast a Wikipedia page.
In 1990 Mr. Gomes founded the company Big Noise to help independent artists. However, alleged allegations have surfaced in regard to his business practices. Several people have posted information questioning Mr. Gomes' honesty and commitment. Many of these individuals were asked to send money so Big Noise could market their music.
Many questions are circulating to whether or not he worked with Christina Aguilera, Little Anthony, or Andrew MacCarthy. And has he exaggerated his accomplishments. Then, on the other hand, perhaps this is a scheme is nothing more than a public relations ploy.
His website readily promotes his support for The Band Wagon Project. This was a music based charity event. It brought in loads of money to bring awareness to the homeless and their need for food. Al Gomes is also marketing his song Three Side of Hunger on this site.
Evidently, he is a humanitarian, and a charitable person. Many continue to recognize this. And yet, the allegations continue to grow. Dishonest companies will usually do two things. First, they play on the artist's feelings. Secondly, they ask for money. These are two things people are claiming about Big Noise.
Be wary if an agent or publisher says the music is 'great', or it 'sounds wonderful'. If they are legit they will probably have considerably more to say. Every truly dedicated agent knows it's going to take some effort to promote an unknown.
Be wary if they ask you to send money. Real managers and agents receive a commission off the music sales. If the music artist is successful, they are also.
Always ask lots of questions. Be cold and hard. Interrogate them about specifics. Demand to know everything up front. An honest company will have nothing to hide. In fact, they will have an abundance of information. Scam companies, on the other hand, will often falter and stumble. They also might become extremely defensive.
With all the information out there, it looks like everyone will have to judge for themselves as to whether Big Noise is a total scam operation, or whether this is a media ploy to direct more attention to Al Gomes. The only person who knows for sure is Mr. Gomes.
