3 Notes

The word is out artistspaid: musingsofthebrain: I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share who’s behind this blog. My name is Jason Sosnovsky, and I am part of a new music site called The Next Big Sound. I started this blog to share the research I’ve been doing on other online music sites. Rather than keep the findings private I decided it would benefit the community to post mini-reviews of each site. I enjoyed sharing it with all of you along side some news, songs, and miscellaneous sports shorts. I will definitely keep the blog going as I keep posting about the changing music industry. Here’s a quick description of The Next Big Sound: The Next Big Sound is a music website that I started with 3 friends from Northwestern University and a new buddy from Brown University. The premise of the site is to shift the current music industry model on its head by allowing anyone the chance to play the role of a record mogul. Moguls will predict which artists they think are going to become superstars and sign them to their own personal record label. When listeners come to the site, they can stream some of the best unsigned music in the country from our radio player. When the listener hears an artist they like, they can register for free as a mogul and “Sign” the artist to their personal roster of 10 spots. The Next Big Sound is about empowering listeners to push their favorite artists to fame while expressing their own musical interests. Moguls have an incentive to be the first to sign an artist because we keep track of the order of signings. Thus, a mogul will be able to prove their ability to predict the next superstar early in their career. The site also empowers artists to find true fans. Since moguls are able to only sign 10 bands, the moguls that sign artists are more likely to be real fans who buy the music, go to the shows, and buy the merchandise. Moguls will become advocates for artists as they try to increase their score by getting people to sign you and raise your following.Visit The Next Big Sound at www.thenextbigsound.com. Best, Jason
