UNDISCOVERED ARTISTS: HOLLYWOOD WANTS YOUR SONG
LicenseMusic.com Gives Unsigned Bands Opportunity To Have Music Placed In Film, TV and Advertising Productions
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - JANUARY 18, 2000 -- LicenseMusic.com, the leading online provider of music for film, TV, advertising and multimedia productions, has launched an Unsigned Artist Program, which allows unsigned artists, once screened, to expose their music to producers worldwide. Using the Web, unsigned artists can get exposure to music supervisors, producers, and audio-visual professionals who influence the $3 billion music licensing market. Since launching in January 1999, LicenseMusic.com has placed songs in motion pictures such as, “The Company Man,” (to be released in summer 2000,) numerous independent films, a PBS special, the New York Whitney Museum’s web site, TV commercials including a Stamps.com spot featuring Bob Newhart, and various other corporate multimedia projects.
“While the artist or composer concentrates on writing, touring, getting signed or getting airplay, LicenseMusic.com can help them generate revenue in other areas,” stated Ken Ehrhardt, Director of Repertoire. “Their music can be previewed at any time by audio-visual professionals worldwide who are looking for a particular sound. This allows the artist to earn income just by having their work on the right site."
" Many of our clients are producers and music supervisors who are looking for that one perfect song,” stated Licensemusic.com President/CEO Gerd Leonhard. “The Unsigned Artist Program provides a way for audio-visual professionals to find new, unused material.” LicenseMusic.com is conducting a worldwide talent search for these artists - songs of every genre are needed, from Latin to metal to classical to country.
How it works

Selected acts will join an artist roster currently powered by more than 120 independent record labels and music publishers including Alligator Records, Warlock Records, Chesky Records, Harmonia Mundi, Farren Music America, Attack Records, Knit Media, Prime CD, and Chacra Alternative Music. All material must be 100% original and fully owned by the artists or writers and must also be available on CD.
