MIDGE URE - TUNITED

Monday, 23 November 2009

Midge is launching a new revolutionary campaign - but this time his appeal is for a fair deal for new and independent artists.

Tunited is a groundbreaking new independent music website which will assist new and independent artists and labels gain increased exposure, challenging the flagging music business 2 growing reluctance to invest in this exciting area.

Tunited will be a great exponent of new music at all levels from new student musicians right the way through to independent artists and labels with, almost uniquely, all download payments being passed on to the artist. The four cornerstones of Tunited are: Create, Collaborate, Promote and Enjoy.

Create is the music and design creation software, that comes free with Tunited that can help artists to construct their music from scratch, or they can simply upload their existing catalogue.

Collaborate is the community element of the site, where artists can share work, ideas and network, gig-swap and exchange skills to create virtual bands.

Promote covers news, interviews, online concerts, and opportunities for advice and feedback from industry experts, A&Rs and producers.

Enjoy is where you can listen to all the music that Tunited offers its audience, with charts to show which artists are most popular within each musical genre, from indie to classical and wonk to dub-step.

Further unique opportunities and services that will be available to all artists on the website will be announced in the press and online nearer to the launch date of the site; these include sync licensing opportunities, gig promotion and Tunited 2s ability to leverage lower production costs.

'With Tunited, we're not just opening doors for new artists - we're blowing the doors right off, Italian Job-style! Tunited will be the new music industry', says Midge.

For more information, see the Tunited website and Press Release.

With thanks to Matt Stanley of Tunited.
