Description:
Beats Per Minute is a social, interactive, media platform designed to provide opportunities for student musical artists. BPM aims to provide students with the tools to achieve and surpass their musical potential without having to make any costly sacrifices. The online network connects students from universities across the country so that each individual may promote his or her own talents and explore those of his or her peers. Artists upload songs while listeners explore and rank their favorite artists, which results in higher exposure, publicity, and fan awareness for the artist. All members of BPM have the opportunity to engage in virtual activities and competitions, such as cross-school challenges with cash prizes. The main reward for success within the BPM network is the bi-annual contest, the winner of which earns a sponsored record deal. As a subsidiary of Backlot Events, BPM will also coordinate an annual live college music concert promoting the best act from the schools within the network. BPM offers students the chance to continue their education while pursuing their future in music.
