PureSound Records Gives Independent Musicians a Platform
September 26, 2008 by Holly
People worldwide are spending more and more time on social media and networking websites than anything else on the internet today. With websites such as MySpace, Last.FM and Pandora, specifically catering to music, independent musicians often lose the limelight and the chance to attract new audiences to their music to more well known musicians and bands. Social music sites also continuously become victims to conglomerate record companies and are forced to close shop due to lawsuits and also due to being bought (and ruined) by bigger, billion-dollar industries. It is for these reasons and also many others that independent music and musicians ultimately suffer and because of that, two independent musicians wanted to give the independent music scene a place to thrive and the chance for independent musicians to attain a concrete fan base.
PureSound Records is an organized, easy to use, social media and networking platform specifically for independent (unsigned) musicians and people who want to be introduced to new music.
PureSound Records not only gives independent musicians a chance to connect and interact with people from all over the world who have been exposed to their music through the website, but they can also connect with other musicians, venues, as well as labels shopping for new talent. This website has the ability to kick start your music career with a world-wide fan base and supportive platform with the potential that nearly no other website has.
The site is very simple to use and the best part is that whether you are signing up as a member who simply wants to be exposed to artists of all genres, an artist, venue, or even a record label, signing up and receiving everything PureSound Records has to offer is completely free.
As an artist, the website gives you a platform to upload your music and offer it for download or streaming, a gallery to upload your pictures or album art, a chart to show you exactly where your music stands on the site compared to other artists, a list of your fans, music from either yourself or other artists on the site that you have added as favorites, areas for video, comments, a guestbook, blog, a section to promote upcoming events, and a bio so fans, fellow artists, venues and labels can get to know a little more about you. As an artist, you also keep full rights over the music that is uploaded to PureSound Records, so you are able to offer your music to fans without losing any credit over the music you have created. This website also gives you a chance to save money, with a feature that is in the works for artists to be able to offer merchandise such as T-shirts without having to buy anything in bulk and potentially lose money. You have complete control over your music, merchandise, and also how much you charge for these items. PureSound Records gives you the control you need in order to further your exposure and your career.
PureSound Records is a dynamic community for independent music and musicians and will continue to strengthen the independent music scenes everywhere through the power of social media and networking.
