Description:
(URL removed) is a tool that uses the real world relationships of artists, producers, audio engineers, and all others in the music business to promote their new music to interested fans. Artists gain real-world, geographic metrics about their fans as well as real-world feedback from their fans. (URL removed) has publicly available metrics, making it the one stop shop for valuable global music business data. Unlike other music sites, all content is member and metric driven. (URL removed) does not license music from major labels. Music is uploaded to kNERD by its copyright holders, giving fans access to thousands of albums to search and listen through. Fans may create, save, share and listen to playlists as they please.
(URL removed) is currently looking for funding to increase our staff, bandwidth and servers so we may become quickly profitable. In the next few weeks, we have unique marketing campaigns to spark interest from early adapters and to earn respect from certain blogs. We already have incredible content ready for our launch.
For any competitor to attempt to provide the industry with the metrics (URL removed) provides, they would have to completely rewrite their databases and start over.
