About Stereofame - For Artists
Stereofame is part of the revolution and democratization of music that has been made possible by the Internet. The Internet has broken down artificial barriers - barriers to free-market capitalism - that were established by traditional record labels. For years, these labels held a virtual monopoly on music by controlling music distribution channels. Artists had little chance of "getting discovered," and had a better chance, statistically speaking, of playing in the NBA.
Not anymore. Today, artists are able to bypass traditional labels and go directly to the consumer. Traditional labels are in a fatal tailspin, trying to figure out how to succeed in the age of digital recordings where there is no longer a need for CD's to be manufactured, warehoused, or distributed through big box retailers. So, while the sun sets on the traditional record label industry - an industry beholden to middlemen, shareholders, and quarterly earnings reports - the sun rises for artists and offers them the freedom to provide music to the market - the people of the world - that they previously were unable to access and fulfill.
Stereofame is the world's anti-label. Our goal is to be the primary enabler between the artists and the people, so that artists and fans can deal with each other directly - one on one - without the middleman, enabling artists to get what they deserve. We provide artists with the tools to do this right here on Stereofame. Unlike traditional labels who typically signed just a handful of acts a year, we believe this new age of music democracy and capitalism will produce thousands and thousands of artists who will develop significant numbers of fans and market their products and services through enablers like Stereofame.
Stereofame is building a utility. What you see now is only a small glimpse of the services that Stereofame will be providing to you in the future. In the meantime, we'll be providing you with context that we all love...music. And, we'll be providing it in an engaging manner...through the Game, various contests, the Music Store, the Player, and videos.
