THE OVER DUE NEXT STEP FOR INDEPENDENT ARTISTS

Establishing an online music store has just about become the norm these days for independent artists since Dereck Siverman founded cdbaby.com in 1999, who later passed the torch in 2008 to Disc Makers for $22 million.

Recently, today’s largest search engine giant (Google) has even launched there own version of Siverman’s finding (Google Music) offering competitive rates and services, competing  with other online music giants such as itunes and Napster. 

With the online music business growing successfully, Street Rock Magazine has also launched an exclusive program too assist independent artist with affordable advertising and publicity all in one package.

Insisting on making good indie music easier too come by, Street Rock Magazine, a seasonal publication, offers press writing and distribution to over 500 publications internationally with each quarter page ad purchased for less than $100 dollars.

Referring to the indie artist program as “the over due next step” independent musician and founder of  Street Rock, Victor Valente explains: “Through the eyes of the CEO, the online independent music industry is simply a trend but on the same note it’s a blessing. Setting up an online store is just the first step but with out affordable publicity, many independent artists have been stuck on the first step for over 10 years.. Most unsigned artists, unattached to big money investors or record labels are over looked by most publicity firms“.

Originally founded in 2003 as The Soul Spot, Street Rock Magazine is a online blog and printed publication, located in New Bedford, Massachusetts, promoting urban arts, music and culture. With featured biographies and interviews with artists of various styles, Street Rock seeks too promote as well as Educate music & art fans globally.
