The Value of Learning a Second Language

Many academic hubs advocate the use of learning a second language, yet many people in the Nation have not attempted, or do not even have an interest in putting a second language under their belt. This is a sad truth, and one that needs to change if the United States wishes to climb forward to a more prosperous future of global interdependence in the world. With countries coming together in trade and business, and cultures being shared all over the world, it is necessary that Americans begin to have some understanding of the differences.

The United States population accounts for only 4% of the world, according to The United States Census. With such a small percentage of the world, it’s crazy to think that people live their lives believing that the United States is everything that the world has to offer. So many opportunities are beyond the borders, and yet the barriers of language and culture prevent Americans from gaining them. The answer is learning a language other than English. This decision is not as difficult as it seems, and only takes a little bit of effort to get enough understanding under you to make basic communications with people from other countries.

With another language in hand, Jesus Salas made his way up the ladder of the Radio Broadcasting industry, and is now the Executive Vice President of Programming for the Spanish Broadcasting System. Because of his knowledge of the Spanish language, he was given this amazing opportunity to promote himself and achieve excellent success in radio broadcasting from a very young age. If it weren’t for his diversity, Jesus may have not gotten the skills needed to make his way to the top as one of the nation’s radio broadcasting leaders.

Jesus Salas is a community outreach member for the CHAPMAN Partnership for the Homeless.

Since opening their doors in 1995, Chapman Partnership has admitted nearly 100,000 men, women and children experiencing homelessness in Miami, Fl and the surrounding areas. Their mission to provide comprehensive services to empower homeless residents to become self-sufficient and regain their lives.

Jesus Salas believes that the organization is providing life-altering experiences for the local homeless community. When a person becomes homeless, it affects every aspect of their life. It attacks the person’s self-esteem and makes them feel hopeless. Nothing is more debilitating then feeling helpless in one’s ability to provide for their family and their future.

“I am working on bringing awareness to the homeless family situation in South Florida to the Hispanic community. I was deeply touched by visiting the center the first time and seeing the families and the children receiving such an amazing care and support to get their lives back on track” said Jesus Salas.

The center treats each person as an individual and uses a holistic approach to care. Chapman Partnership not only provides emergency housing, but also provides a wide array of programs such as: comprehensive case management; health, mental and dental care; day care and after school services; job development, training, and placement, plus help from a variety of social service agencies, volunteers, donors and partners

Along the way to 100,000 admissions, Chapman Partnership has also achieved many other impressive milestones such as: So far, they have admitted nearly 20,000 homeless children and with the help of their 20,000 volunteers, they serve 3 hot meals a day, 365 days a year, adding up to 800,000 meals per year. Chapman Partnership also offers medical and dental. Their two medical clinics have seen more than 167,000 patient and their mobile dental unit has performed more than 76,500 procedures. What What impresses Jesus Salas the most is the organizations success rate, which is an amazing 64% in placing their residents into permanent or transitional housing compared to the nations average of 15%.

Besides being a committee outreach member for Chapman Partnership, Jesus Salas is also involved in other community organizations such as the Children Youth Life Foundation for the terminally ill kids, being the co-chair for Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation “Inaugural Gentleman’s Night”,  raised over $400k for the inaugural event for the foundation.

Jesus Zeus Salas on How to Get Discovered in the Music Industry

 

Jesus Zeus Salas, Executive Vice President of Programming for Spanish Broadcasting Systems (SBS), has been working in the radio industry for over 20 years. Since 1992, Jesus Zeus Salas has held positions in the music industry, and his experience has shown him what it takes to get discovered as a new artist in the industry. Getting discovered as a new artist is very difficult because music is such a competitive business. However, with these tips from Jesus Zeus Salas, you can begin a successful music career.

Hold Live Shows

 

One of the most important ways to start your successful music career and get discovered is to play live shows. Live shows gain you fans, and if your fans become dedicated, they will want to purchase your albums and band merchandise. Having a substantial fan base increases your likelihood of being discovered by a recording company, and it shows them that you can actually sell yourself to people who are interested in your music. Jesus Zeus Salas states that loyal fans are the driving force behind any successful artist.

 

Record a Demo

 

The next step in getting discovered by a recording company is to create your demo. A demo will show potential recording companies the music that you play, and having a demo on hand is wise – you never know when you could come into contact with someone who is important in the industry. In addition, you can sell your demo at live shows to begin making money and to show potential recording companies that your music will sell. Jesus Zeus Salas believes that an excellent demo is the top factor recording companies are searching for when it comes to new talent.

 

Distribute a Press Kit

 

Another important piece of beginning your successful music career is the press kit. Your press kit should have your demo as well as information on you as an artist and a headshot. In addition, the press kit should include any articles that have been published about you and your music. You can distribute this press kit to anyone in the industry whom you come into contact with.

 

Hire a Manager

 

Finally, one of the best ways to get discovered more quickly is to hire a good manager. The manager you choose needs to believe in your talent. The main benefit to having a manager is networking. Your manager will have contacts within the industry, enabling you to share your music and get discovered.

Jesus Salas Takes New York Radio Station Mega 97.9 to Number One Rank beating all radio stations

Location: New York
Jesus Salas is the EVP for programing for the Spanish Broadcasting System located in New York. He is proud to announce that, due to his efforts, he has been able to take the ratings of WSKQ-FM, otherwise known as Mega 97.9 by its listeners to the Number One ranked station in all of New York. A history making event.

A big part of this success is due to the fact that Jesus Zeus Salas has infused the radio station with the types of music that Latinos want to listen to. The station plays more bachata, which is a style that many from the Dominican Republic enjoy hearing. Jesus Zeus Salas says he is adding music like this across the board that Latinos coming from all parts of the Latin American world can enjoy.

Jesus Zeus Salas clearly understands his audience, and proves that by playing the music they want to hear. However, he also knows how to communicate with his audience by promoting his radio station in ways that reach them. Jesus Zeus Salas promotes the radio station through social media marketing and other online promotional efforts. He believes, “When you remain hyper-local, you will always have a strong place in the people’s hearts and minds.”

He also attributes much of this success to the man he has put behind the microphone at the beloved radio station. His name is Alex Sensation and he has been pulling in listeners in the middays for some time now. “It doesn’t matter where you’re from,” Jesus Zeus Salas says, “He connects with Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Central and South Americans.”

Jesus Zeus Salas is excited about the performance of Alex Sensation and all the on air staff, and he has every right to be. Since the time that the radio station added Alex to their broadcasting lineup, the radio station has jumped up to number one in persons ranging in age from 18-34 and 18-49. Jesus Zeus Salas says, “It’s like a party.” That certainly seems to be the case as the radio station celebrates the fact that Mega 97.9 pulls, on average, 97 percent Hispanic listeners. What is incredible about this is that, of the population in the surrounding area, only 23 percent are Latino.
