Some of you may or may not know that we are located just 10 minutes away from the music capital of the world. That's right New York City!
And we have seen the good, bad and ugly of the music industry.
Last week we met with an artist that hired a production company to work on 4 tracks for his upcoming project and had his hottest material stolen right out from under him.
Can you believe that?
Has this ever happened to you?
The tracks made for his project were sold to a major record label at a higher price point because most music producers are only in the business for a quick buck.
His biggest question to us was what action he could take to recover his material because he didn't have a work for hire agreement with the production team.

Music Distribution Has Just Gotten Easier!
Many recording artists and music producers create professional sounding projects but have no clue how to distribute their music.
Since the creation of digital downloads, major record labels and distributors have been suffering to sustain sales while independent artists are making more money than they’ve made in the last 25 years due to sites like, SnoCap, Tune Core, CD Baby, The Orchard, Ioda Allinace and more.
These sites provide many of the marketing and distribution tools that major record label and distributors offer but without the increased fees design to keep the recording artists broke.
Below is a brief summary of what these sites have to offer.
SnoCap was created by MySpace and allows site users to sell music from their MySpace page and also from many other online retail sites.
TuneCore is a site designed to give the artist a little more bang for the buck without breaking the bank. TuneCore has secured deals with most of the leading music retailers online and you get to keep 100% of the revenue. To utilize their service they charge the artist $0.99 per track, $0.99 per album and $19.98 per album per year for storage and maintenance.
Ioda Alliance is known as one of the leaders in online music distribution with partnerships with practically every major online music retailer. What makes their service so appealing is they also offer marketing for their artists and many other services.
The Orchard is also a well known online music distributor that stands out in the crowd by going a step further and offering licensing agreements in addition to marketing, distribution and video services.
CreateSpace is another great company created by Amazon.com. What make this so appealing is they have waved the setup fees, minimum product and inventory stocking fees.
CDBaby is an online retail store that gives independent recording artists the opportunity to sell their music to a wide range of retailers and site visitors.
So if you are an up-coming recording artist I would suggest distributing your music online through the following distributors and create a strong grass roots marketing campaign by using blogs and social media sites to create buzz.
