PRS for Music launch educational panels across the country as part of Independent Venue Week


Indie venues in Brighton, Cardiff, Sheffield and Sunderland partner with PRS for Music to host free educational events, open to all

In celebration of the important role that independent venues play in the success of songwriters, composers and performers, PRS for Music will host a series of educational panels across the country to help encourage and inform the next generation of artists.

Taking place as part of Independent Venue Week (IVW), 23-27 January, and open to all, the free talks will offer those aspiring to work in the music industry the chance to hear from major industry influencers as well as local artists and experts from PRS for Music, PPL and BASCA.

Four proudly independent venues with a history of supporting new artists at grassroots level will host the panels: Komedia in Brighton; The Big Top in Cardiff; Sheffield’s The Harley; and the Independent in Sunderland.

Professionals with hands-on experience from across the music business will explain the importance of protecting your music rights, as well as imparting valuable knowledge about the various ways that creating and performing music can generate an income.

Paul Clements, Commercial Director, PRS for Music: “We’re delighted to be hosting these panels in the very venues that play such a vital role in the development and growth of so many artists. From a first live gig, to a secret performance from a music legend, these independent venues are the creative spaces that help the UK music industry to flourish.”

Aram Stuart, Event Manager at the Independent, Sunderland: “It’s great that PRS for Music, PPL and Independent Venue Week, have teamed up to champion music venues and we’re delighted to host this panel. Venues like us always try to support artists so it’s great that we can offer an educational opportunity as well as hosting gigs during the week.”

Tom Brain, Programming Coordinator at Komedia, Brighton, said: “We care deeply about fostering the creative energy of local artists and we’re delighted to see PRS for Music, BASCA and Independent Venue Week support this, and the grassroots live sector.”

Kate Hewett, Promotor at The Harley, Sheffield: “We’re really pleased to host this panel on the music industry. Sheffield has such a magnificent music scene, so it’s great to see Independent Venue Week, PRS for Music and PPL partner up to host an event here and really support the local talent.”

Lloyd Griffiths, Events and Venue Manager, at The Big Top, Cardiff: “We’d like to extend a warm welcome to Independent Venue Week and PRS for Music and thank them for continuing to support live music and venues. We look forward to hosting their panel with BASCA and hope our local artists get a lot out of it.”

Panellist and singer-songwriter Martin Longstaff (The Lake Poets) said: “Education for artists like me has become more and more important in such a rapidly changing industry, so I’m proud to be taking part in this panel with PRS for Music and PPL who already do so much for music creators. Small music venues play such a vital role in the success of many artists, so the Independent, which is loved by so many, is the perfect place to hold this talk during Independent Venue Week.

DISCTOPIA LAUNCHES New Platform Dedicated Exclusively to Independent Music Artists


DISCTOPIA LAUNCHES New Platform Dedicated Exclusively to Independent Music Artists and Streaming

Charlotte, NC (January 25, 2017)- Disctopia, a new app designed to serve the independent (unsigned) music artist and his/her fandom, launched today to provide the first innovative platform solution dedicated to indie streaming. The tech start-up, founded by Patrick Hill, amplifies the indie artist’s reach while allowing each artist to set a price, create artist splits and sell his/her music to directly to users. Disctopia, which is free to download, charges the artist a flat rate of $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year to be included. The app is committed to never placing ads on Artist Pages. All artists get paid weekly and retain 100% commissions and streaming (0.01 per true play collected by Disctopia).

Disctopia founder Patrick Hill saw an immediate need for this platform. “Currently only 2% of the global market is listening to music via streaming. Streaming is a brand new frontier in music taking shape. We want to kick open that door for indie artists to sell their music directly to their fans without a label in the middle of it all,” he shares. “For every artist that is signed, there are dozens making good music that are not. They have significant fan bases. Disctopia represents the next generation of artists,” Hill adds.

With the mission of “to be a company that inspires everyone to become an artist”, they already have several featured artists and boast a user base of over 5,000. Disctopia is different than Soundcloud. The founder believes there is room in the market for both. Soundcloud is mainly a discovery platform and Disctopia is a streaming platform to help monetize artists’ music and be heard.

The app also acts as a music player, syncing your music on your phone, replicating playlists and allowing the user to create new playlists. Disctopia, now available to artists and users worldwide, hopes to inspire artists, innovation, and better define the true financial and fandom success of an unsigned artist.

To download, go to iTunes App Store https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/disctopia/id1162011563?ls=1&mt=8

Other music people such as music writers, festival teams, venues, bloggers, promoters, DJs, radio stations and tour managers find our solutions very fruitful."

The company created their solutions acording to a survey with independent artists who were asked what kind of problems they face and they developed the first four most wanted solutions. They want to continiue developing their future tools according to demand that comes from musicians, bands and labels.

Stuart from the company says they have two things in their minds while developing their tools. The solutions should contain an easy to use technology and they want to bring it to musicians and labels for an affordable price.

One of the solutions they provide is a newsletter / email marketing platform. Mail Engineer is a professional tool you can use for sending newsletters to your fans. "Our newsletter platform will always be free" says Eric from the development team. "We give this tool with a forever free plan. Our aim is to give a great product for free and what we expect in return is to make musicians aware of our technology."

"Newsletter is the number one tool for any artist who wants to grow their fanbase. Having contacts of your fans puts you in the driver’s seat." adds Michael.

Artglider team believes that their solutions and services will help artists and labels to ease their workload, minimize their problems and create more revenues.

KGUP FM Emerge Radio is now accepting submissions from music artists


KGUP FM Emerge Radio is now accepting submissions to select 8 up-and-coming Music Artists to perform during Summer/Fall 2016 on stage during one of four live events this coming Summer and Fall in Top venues in Los Angeles. (The specific dates are contingent on each venue location and Artist availability. Dates and locations will be disclosed to the public at a later time).

During Spring 2016, KGUP FM will launch a Crowd Funding campaign on Kickstarter. Funds collected from the campaign will be used to help off-set the cost of:

- upgraded performance royalty license
- upgrade broadcasting equipment
- develop and maintain a native stand-alone mobile app for fans to download and listen to KGUP FM Emerge Radio exclusively
- pay for a trip to New York to meet with executives at SiriusXM radio to propose adding KGUP FM Emerge Radio as a channel to their existing line up to broadcast high quality Independent music and entertaining freeform programming

Other expenses include:

- video production to prepare a visual presentation geared for investors to invest in making KGUP FM Emerge Radio a terrestrial FM station.
- Compensation to artists: KGUP FM is committed to pay the 8 artists 15% of the net proceeds collected through the Kickstarter campaign as compensation for their live performance and promotional efforts.

Unlike its competitors, KGUP FM pledges to not take advantage of independent artists' willingness to play for free in exchange for "exposure" and will NOT require artists to pre-sale tickets. KGUP FM wants to help eliminate this practice and set an example of what ‘community' is by giving artists a share of what they collect.

Once the Artist/band signs into agreement and joins the KGUP FM Emerge Radio team, the promotional period throughout all of 2016 will begin. During the campaign period between April through May 2016, the Artist/Band is required to promote the KGUP FM Kickstarter campaign as if it is their own in order to earn the percentage split. Artists represented by PR agencies and Management company's must agree to the terms for this agreement to be valid. In turn, KGUP FM will promote all 8 artists throughout 2016 on all of KGUP FM's social media including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google+, and Reverbnation. In addition, Artist/Band's music will be heard on rotation at KGUP FM Emerge Radio.

All Artists will retain all copyrights, publishing rights, and royalties. KGUP FM simply wants to promote good artists in exchange for promoting a good radio station.

Submission Requirements:
- To share the KGUP FM vision and believe in what we're doing. The Artist/Band will reap the benefits of KGUP FM's success, which relies on its artists and listeners.
- Commit to helping KGUP FM promote its Kickstarter campaign coming this Spring.
- List of dates you are available and are on tour in the Los Angeles area during Summer/Fall 2016
- Provide artist/band website address
- Social media links (Facebook, Twitter, etc)
- Include Management/PR agent contact information
- Please include one live performance video and one professional video (if available)
- Attach one mp3 for additional consideration

Live365 Announces New Streaming Radio Station for Emerging Artists



Foster City, CA August 31, 2015:
Discovery365 (D365) is a new Internet Radio Station that plays only music from emerging and independent artists, mixing many different musical styles. The station's mission is to promote new artists by letting those artists tell the stories behind the songs—introducing themselves and their music. This unique format of multiple musical styles combined with artist introductions and story telling enhances listener engagement with the song and creates a type of 'Reality Show Radio.' The station is programmed and curated by veteran radio programmer Dean Kattari (KFOG, KRSH, KSAN, KINK-FM, KRSH, MAX-FM) who launched the station on July 4, 2015 to celebrate "Independence Day For Independent Artists."

"There's a story behind every song," says Kattari, "and when you know a little bit about what the songwriter was thinking about when they wrote the song, you listen to the song differently because now it has more meaning, even if it's a style of music that you don't normally listen to or a musician that you've never heard of. No DJ knows a song as well as the person who actually wrote the song, so we're connecting the songwriter directly with the listener on Discovery365."

Bands are encouraged to submit their music and stories to Discovery365 on the station's website – www.live365.com/d365 for consideration. New music is added to the rotation on a daily basis so that the playlist is constantly evolving. Kattari is also gathering music to build genre-specific shows that will soon serve the listeners that prefer to dive more deeply into one style of music. These will include Hard Rock/Metal, Jazz, Urban/HipHop/Rap, EDM/Dance/Chill, and Country/Folk/Singer-Songwriter.

About Live365, Inc. Live365, Inc. is an Internet radio broadcasting leader, having broadcast continuously since 1999.
