BigDawg Media ARCHIVES
This page is dedicated to our efforts to promote right-leaning creatives. The interview here with Dove TV explains what our mission was. I had to shut down our website due to a shift in focus to the Q operation, but I am working to use my current Meitryx website to pick up where we left off.
This is a screenshot of an archived copy of the very first article I wrote for Breitbart's Big Hollywood at the invitation of John Nolte, Editor-in-Chief. Thankful that these were all archived on the Wayback Machine because images and comments were also archived before the new site was launched and images, videos, and comments did not transition! I was also disappointed to see after Breitbart 2.0 was launched that they no longer promoted other sites on every page in a "LINKS" sidebar, including BigDawg Music Mafia!
BigDawg Music Mafia
This is a screenshot is from an archived link of our original site that I just discovered on the Wayback Machine Internet Archive site when I was looking for an archived article Breitbart's John Nolte wrote where he recapped a CPAC 2011 panel, in which I was a participant, called "Getting Started in Hollywood".
where it all began
I will never forget what John Nolte said about me doing my part in the culture war:
"Out of all of us, though, Lisa Mei Norton of Big Dawg Music Mafia is probably the most important example for conservatives eager to enter the arts. Rather than wait around for Hollywood to have some kind of moral awakening to their ideological totalitarianism, she went ahead and started her own company to give conservative musicians an outlet to publicize their work. That’s what I like to see, a self-starting workaround that defines who and what conservatism is all about. Please visit her site and if you’re a musician looking for support, you might want to reach out."
It was right after I saw John's article, while still at CPAC 2011, that he invited me to write about our mission and our artists at Breitbart's Big Hollywood for which I was immensely humbled and grateful. John was the only person from a major media outlet that afforded us this opportunity to showcase our mission and artists. When Breitbart merged all their BIG sites (Big Hollywood, Big Government, and Big Journalism, Big Peace), right after Andrew Breitbart's untimely death (may he rest in peace) into "Breitbart 2.0", the current Breitbart News website, all of my articles previously published on Big Hollywood transitioned, but unfortunately the images, embedded videos, and comments did not transition. Thanks to the Wayback Machine, I discovered all of my older articles up to 13 December 2011 had been archived! I will be posting all the archived articles on this site soon!
I was tickled to see that people had archived our original BigDawg Music Mafia social site 180 times! I had never even heard of the Wayback Machine back then! Talk about a blast from the past! Our little community grew to over 1,000 right-leaning creatives and fans in the course of the first few years. We eventually created our own website when the NING platform no longer supported music players on their site, which was a must-have for all of the musicians.
I will be writing more later about how we evolved into BigDawg Media, (which I also found on the Wayback Machine - takes a minute to load because there used to be an embedded radio at the top of the page), events we participated in, and what we accomplished up until 2018, when I had to close the site to focus on the Q "backchannel" operation, which took up all my "free time" (I was and still am a full-time Defense contractor and did/do everything in my spare time). I will be using this site, The Meitryx, to continue what we were doing at BigDawg's but will be promoting more than just right-leaning creatives. It is imperative that we build and support the parallel economy, including culture warriors, and get engaged in the fight for our Republic.
We do still have our BigDawg Media YouTube account where you can see some of the music videos from "BigDawgers", events like CPAC, protests and rallies, and shows we did, and we also have a BigDawg Media Facebook page (which we haven't posted much on since we closed our site in 2018).
Some reviews about my music and our work at BigDawg Media:
“Hats off Lisa Mei Norton for Big Dawg Music Mafia! She's out in front encouraging conservatives to be creative so she hosts a medium where conservatives can support each other and grow in there {sic} creativity. She sees that liberal ideology has been largely pushed through entertainment, and that's where conservatives need to compete”

““I commend Lisa Mei for the great work she is doing encouraging conservative artists to speak out, and giving them the opportunity and platform to do so through Big Dawg Music Mafia. Lisa is a kind, dedicated, and passionate person with the faith and will to succeed at whatever she puts her mind to. I highly recommend her and Big Dawg Music Mafia. The world needs more people like Lisa Mei, and I am blessed to know her.””

“If your voice was a pillow, I would sleep like a baby all night long”
Christian Jorgensen - Facebook
“My mom was the first to send me links to your music while I was in Iraq...I LOVE YOUR MUSIC...It's good to know I'm not the only die-hard defender of American Rights here!”
SPC John Boyles - SingSnap Member
“This young lady, Lisa Mei Norton, expresses the sentiments of all conservatives and veterans through her music. I feel sure that you will love her music and will identify with the lyrics...”
“Your Music rocks Lisa and unlike anything else I have heard speaks to the core of this movement and what we have suffered to defend our values, heritage and traditions!!”
“This weeks historic first- The National Tea Party Convention will open this Thursday evening at Nashville, Tennessee's Gaylord Opryland Hotel. We could not ask for a better opening patriotic entertainer to kick off the event than Lisa Mei!!”
Dave Kasold - Tea Party Nation Newsletter
"Red Rhinestone-studded cowboy boots peeked out from her jeans as Lisa brought the crowd to its feet more than once with her patriotic lyrics and melodic voice."
Bridget Blanton - Smart Girl Nation
“With Love from an American is an energetic country-style song with jazz overtones, encouraging Americans to put their support for the troops into action by sending them love in a care package or letter.”
