NEW ONLINE MUSIC RETAILER SCORES ONE FOR THE LITTLE GUY
Songwriting Competition Brings the Executives To The Artist
Washington, DC - Incorporating the best case studies from business school with "gut experience", online music retailer Artistprojects.com is poised to make "underground music" an unfamiliar term. Specifically designed to help unsigned artists and independent record labels develop the capacity and clout to "sit at the table", Artistprojects.com offers almost everything the big labels do, while eliminating the middle-man. The company's goal is to provide online distribution, marketing, promotions and resources in an environment that is familiar to the artists and easier on the pocket.
"For so long, the music industry has had an "US" versus "THEM" mentality, Artistprojects.com simply levels the playing field a bit" said Chief Operating Officer Shelvee Casey. "We don't expect to compete with the "big boys", we just want to give our clients an opportunity to perhaps partner and work cooperatively with the rest of the industry. If all goes as planned, there will just be an 'US'."
Unlike numerous other online retailers, Artistprojects.com allows their clients to set the price point, provides the all important "tracking and numbers" reports and provides access to industry experts, newbies and veterans alike. "Its our goal to have our customers grow beyond our capabilities. If we do our job right and provide the customer service and support that our customers need, in as little as a year, they should be striking their own distribution and marketing deals. They won't need us anymore, but they will refer us to someone else who will," said Derrick Cooper, Chief Executive Officer for Artistprojects.com.
To prove that they plan on being around for a while and that they have the clout to deliver on their claims, Artistprojects.com has recently announced the first annual Artistprojects.com Songwriters Competition. Partnering with JIVE RECORDS and ZOMBA PUBLISHING of the BMG/Zomba Music Group, the "Get In The Game" songwriters competition guarantees the winner a one-on-one with music executive Jimmy "Dutch" Maynes of Zomba Music Group/Jive Records, studio sessions and introductions to some of the hottest executives in the industry, with an opportunity to ask them how they got started in the business. |
