HitMusic announced the launch of a promotional campaign to entice artists
& DJs to sell their work without the need for a major record label. Every
new registrant to the independent online music store will automatically enter
in our contest to win a DIGI 002 GIVE A WAY which is a value at $2700.00
HitMusic does not stop at at giveaways for artists though. Fans can also be
a part of the action by being entered to win an MP3 player valued at $250.00
everytime they by a CD or MP3 on the site.
"Beyond giving band and musicians the ability to sell their CD & MP3s
at our store, HitMusic also wants to help band and musicians with their production
costs," notes HitMusic founder Paul Shirley. "Considering the bite
studio time & costs can take out of an artist budget, we felt that this
giveaway could help."
Why did you form HitMusic?
"As a producer, I was getting artists asking me how to get their music
out there. In looking at ways other artists were selling their music, I realized
that they were primarily selling their music over the internet through online
music distributors. I liked what these companies were doing, but found that
they were not giving much value for the bands and artists’ money. These
companies were keeping most of the money and leaving the artists with too little.
So I started Hit Music not just to help them keep their fair share, but to help
them get their music out."
With so many online stores appearing every day, what make HitMusic
different?
"We now that there are a lots of company out there. What makes HitMusic
different is not just that we want to provide a complete package. We can for
example help a band produce their DVD and their music vidios. We plan to showcase
music videos on the Hit Music site, as well as webcast their music through an
internet radio station. We are also planning a tour next year to promote with
the best of the best bands and artists that are on Hit Music.
"In partnership with our sister company MediaEvolutions, Hit Music will
provide bands and artists with the tools to attract the attention of labels.
It all boils down to being a leader in our getting their music out to their
fans and the industry."
How many artists have you signed up and which are the most notable?
"Hit Music is just now starting out. At this time we have about ten on
our site and about 30 more that have signed up. But we feel with all the good
service we’re offering, it is just a matter of time before we have many
more. The most notable are Jezreel, Delirious, Sol Season, Eotribe just to name
a few."
What role will giveaways have in the future in building the site?
Hit Music will always have giveaways for artist and band. We feel that these
initiatives will help them with some of their important costs while helping
them keep their fans. We now that fans are hard to come by and we want to help
the band build loyalty and keep that buying their music. For the average band
that can sell their music at any online company, it's a great way for us to
thank you them for joining our family.
Where do you expect the online music retail business to be in the next
year?
We see digital downloads as leading online sales that will continue to grow.
They will let bands and artists make more sales while keeping their cost down
but let there fan get there music know. Hit Music plans on being the leader
on how on line music is sold. Yes, there are a growing number of bigger companies
out there offering similar services, but they are not giving fan and bands value
for their dollars and we will. With each band that signs up and each fan visit,
we get closer to our goals as we grow with the band.
