Using Websites To Get Discovered


For years as a lover of all music genres and the business of the music industry, I know first hand how hard it is for artists to get their foot in the door. So many negative factors about the industry has left a bad taste in many peoples mouths and since discouraged our talented musicians and business professionals from pursuing their dreams. Making a difference in the music community has always been a lifelong goal for me because I understand how powerful and inspiring the sound of beautiful music can be. I want this blog to serve as a tool for emerging musicians, singers, songwriters and future business moguls as a reference and guide for the starving artist on how to make it in the industry.

Many of us have heard or know of extremely gifted artists with the ability to touch lives through song, but yet they have not been able to land a major recording deal. To yourself you may have wondered this artist has the whole package, quality music, personality and a great image so what is the hold up? The frozen truth is that making it into the music industry has a lot to do with who you know and networking. If this task was an easy one maybe that talented person would have been signed a long time ago. Artist have to grasp that utilizing resources is essential to advancing their career.

In 2007 three business partners understood that breaking into the industry for unknown artist is extremely difficult and wanted to connect those artist to already established music professionals looking for talent. The innovative founders Corey Stanford, Nathaniel Casey and Ronald Harrison created a brilliant idea of a company now known as Blazetrak. Blazetrak serves as the first ever online networking for artist looking to get their music heard by A list celebrities and moguls such as Ruben Studdard, Matthew Knowles, Big boi and John Rich just to name a few. The company guarantees that if an artist submits their music through Blazetrak to the person of their choice, that within 30 days they will receive a personal video message from the music industry professional giving the artist valuable feedback and direct exposure.  http://vimeo.com/20583755 Although this idea is brilliant it also comes with a hefty price, Blazetrak translates the price into credits with one credit averaging 25 dollars a pop. However, it is a great opportunity for artists that have quality material but no direction.  Blazetrak works! visit the website at  www.blazetrak.com.
