It´s a dilemma, always: the break for many newcomer bands is a desired record contract. Only a small number of musicians can call a contract their own, though. Many gifted and professional artists and bands struggle for a career in the music industry – and lose. The first Online Sound Label Soundflag wants to make a difference and gives the artists a fair chance to present themselves.
Music of All Styles From All Over the World From 20 April 2008 on Soundflag with its website www.soundflag.com acts as agent for unknown musician and bands from more than 25 countries worldwide. “Our goal is to arrange a cooperation between gifted people with professional backgrounds and radio / music stations, music magazines and event managers” says Elias Meyer, Soundflag´s manager. Pop, Hop Hop, classical music, reaggae, country music or dance – you can find it all on Soundflag. USA, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, India, Russia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Portugal, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Poland, Chech Republic: from 20 April on excellent musicians` songs and albums are available on www.soundflag.com, more countries yet to come!
No Costs but a Possible Break for the Artists The advantage: for the musicians? Their appearance on Soundflag is free of charge! Through downloads, record sales or bookings, freshwaters can become well known artists. The artists keep the copyright confering the rights for commercialising ond disseminating of their work upon Soundflag. “For many of the yet unknown bands a gig at a festival or their song on the radio might become the beginning of a successful career”, says Meyer. You can listen to song samples on www.soundflag.com, register yourself, pay and download the pieces you like. The Online Sound Label Soundflag is addressed to radio / music stations, music magazines and event managers. Soundflag makes it easy to obtain knowledge of artists from countries with a less well known music scene. Soundflag also is a way for everybody to find out about new hits not being played on commercial charts.
Crucial: Technical and Musical Quality The decisive factor for Soundflag´s choice of a song or album is its technical quality. “Due to their excellent quality, the songs from our website can be played on the radio right away”, says Soundflag´s manager Elias Meyer. Allready during the upload of songs and albums there will be a quality control and a check-over. Only after this the artists` songs, albums and info pages will be launched.
