Von Johin may be the first “blues” artist signed to a real-life record deal from Second Life, but he is not the first musician signed.

By the way, we love Johin’s work and catch his SL shows often. Best of luck to Von Johin and his new record label. I don’t think it matters who is “first.” What matters is that talented SL musicians, like Von and Bara, are also finding RL outlets for their music.
