    Sellaband.com - Make money for your band and support emerging musicians

    sellaband

    Being a starving musician sucks. But where does the money for upcoming bands come from when the industry is dominated by pop-star giants? SellABand is an innovative way for struggling new artists to get their music heard, and make some money as well. Artists sign up and upload some of their music. Users check out the site and listen to the tunes. If a user likes a song, he pays $10 as a donation to the artist. This money goes to the band. If a band reaches $50,000 in donations, SellABand helps them record an album with a studio and expert producer. 2700 bands from all over the world have signed up, and four have already reached the $50,000 mark and have recorded albums.

    In their own words

    “The music industry is all about fences. Those who are on the inside, and those who are on the outside. SellaBand wants to break down all the fences. Everybody with a passion for music can be on the inside.

    Why it might be a killer

    People who are into music will love Sellaband as a way to learn about new artists and keep playlists. Artists will be able to make cash and gain fans through the site. Everybody wins and the site profits from the deals it brokers. This could be the beginning of an entirely new music industry if it takes offâ€"and it´s already starting to!

    Some questions


    Some artist might be wary of putting their music online for people to download for free, for the obvious reason that it may limit album sales. Will the site be able to continue doing business despite this?
