Comments on: Where are the Music Mavens? http://lounge.sonicbids.com/400 Tips on using Sonicbids and the Music Biz in general Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:16:52 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Lonnie Caldwell http://lounge.sonicbids.com/400/comment-page-1#comment-253 Lonnie Caldwell Fri, 31 Oct 2008 14:51:07 +0000 http://lounge.sonicbids.com/?p=400#comment-253 One source for "Mavens" you might consider is the internet, college and community radio stations throughout the US and abroad. These stations reach millions of potential fans and tend to attract the most "hardcore" music fans. I am a programmer with Boise Community Radio www.radioboise.org and I host a program called "Homegrown" that features music from the "Roots" Music genre. I spend a significant amount of time searching the web for sources of new music from unknown/unsigned artists just for the purpose of introducing them to the world. It is possible to be become a huge presence in today's market without ever playing a live show. There are plenty of "Mavens" out there and it has never been easier to reach them, we just have to adjust our methods.

LOL! Just kidding but I think my website is the most avant garde urban music venue, if not the only one, to come into the Hip-Hop/Rap Music scene in years. Miami has often been the launch pad of many music genres and TheStreetsFM.com is proud to continue the tradition. Since the websites inception we've coined two new genres of music. "Donk" Music which has artist such as Brisco and Trick Daddy leading the way and "Jook" (sometime spelled "Juke")Music, which has artist such as J-Pimp and C-Mal-The-Wild-Child making their entrance. I know we should be better at getting the word out about our music but things happen quick in Miami and it's up to the public to catch up.

I wish there were more ....maybe buisness would pick up for us indi people if they were still active like they use to be. I think majors are strong arming there way into our indi world and somehow trying to take it back and finding some success so far.

It actually lets you judge the music as a fan or upload your stuff and have others listen to what you got and boost it up on the charts. Of course you will want to make sure you are complying with licensing if you are doing covers. If your stuff is your own just upload it and see what the fans think. There are many different genres you can enter from Alt. Rock to Singer-Songwriter etc. Kind of fun. You might want to try this site.
