bandFIND.com - A Music Industry Network

With all the music fan sites and social networks out there, those in the music industry will likely welcome the entry of bandFIND.com onto the Internet music scene. This site focuses on bands, musicians, and other professionals in the music industry – not on the fans. bandFIND is a social and professional ‘utility’ for the music industry, meaning that it reaches beyond social networking and attempts to provide useful, concrete tools for music professionals looking to connect. Members create a personal profile that may include their musical interests and influences, expertise, whether they are offering services (like lessons or playing gigs or sessions) and their price, specific instruments or equipment used, and what they are looking for on bandFIND – friends, gigs, lessons, songwriting collaboration, jamming, etc. There are comments and private messaging functions too. bandFIND.com hopes music professionals will use the site to connect, advance their careers, and privately perform business – without the distractions inherent to a fan-based or music-sharing site.

"bandFIND.com's mission is to provide the entire music industry, from Joe to Pro, a forum to meet new people, advance their career, and privately perform business as usual. Our mission is to offer a number of indispensable services for every facet of the music industry; services that will soon prove to be the industry standard. Our mission is for bandFIND.com to become synonymous with music as a whole."

Music professionals looking to connect online without the distractions of a fan site can use bandFIND to advance their careers and network with others in the music industry on a professional level. It could be a really useful resource for music professionals for that reason.
