Ahhh…how glorious it is to start a fresh new year with a countdown and lift off!
And the awesome opportunities are already dropping in. That’s great news for artists, music and ART for you see, we believe to the very core of our mushy, art-lovin’ hearts that talent abounds and we’re here to give it a fair shake.
Check out some of the month’s highlights.
Songtradr Raises $4m
After months of hard work, our CEO, Paul Wiltshire has successfully raised funds for further expansion and development of Songtradr. This will aid in continuing our commitment to bringing artists and buyers together in so many more ways!
Double Nickelodeon Show Placements
“Plastic Army” by the ultra cool band, The May Fire and “Le Grand Bleu” by Love X Stereo (name and music say it all!) have flown straight to one of our fave kid shows, Mysticons, packed with glittering heroes, the defenders of all that’s good.
Female Beauty Brand Placement
Nothing goes better with lookin’ good than feelin’ good and that’s what artist, Meeting of Minds have hit on with their feel-good track, “Lucky Day”. We’re hush hush (so far) on the name of the brand but regardless, we think beauty’s in the ears of the beholder as well as the eyes!
Corporate Video Placement
Never let it be said that great taste in music can’t be found in the unlikeliest of places…a corporate video no less! This one happens to domicile in the life insurance world. A win for the corporate world and another for the talented Songtradr composer, Alex Khaskin with his aptly titled track, “Corporate Technology”.
Featured Artists
Congratulations LetsTokyo, Beth Whitney, Go1d, (pictured), Nathan Benedict, Maksha, and 3D Friends. These talented artists have scored features on the Songtradr landing page, interviews and more. We do this every month so keep submitting. We love hearing from you!
Ardene Placement
High time to get off the couch and into shape! The folks from Canadian fashion label, Ardene have stepped things into gear with their Move Activewear campaign. Sigh…toss that extra potato chip in the trash and get inspired by the Ardene babes who lead the way to Karmic’s appropriately named track, “Higher Self”.
January’s College Radio Selects
Here are this month’s hot 5 of talented artists who have been chosen for promotion across 300+ college radio stations around the country through our partnership with one of America’s leading college radio promotion companies. Well done, Lolita’s Corner, Alex Siegel, Steve Bryan, Liat Arochas, and The Chloes.
