Stereofame Artist Frankie Leigh Partners with Big Picture High Schools

2009-01-06T06:57:00.000-08:00

Stereofame artist Frankie Leigh was discovered by aspiring filmmaker, Graham Wheeler, on Stereofame.com. He contacted her to see if she would be interested in having him make a music video for her song "That's the Way it Goes". She agreed and ended up getting involved in his high school mentoring program.

Video explores why the real-world internship, mentor-student relationship works so well in the model of education for high school students. Ultra-low drop-out rates and high college acceptance are the hallmarks of schools such as the East Bay Met School. Advisor Mary R. Vieira, Ed.M speaks interspersed with music by recording artist Frankie Leigh (a Big Picture school mentor) and scenes of music video cinematography by 16 year old student Graham Wheeler.

"Like Dandelion Dust" Movie Soundtrack Contest Winner Announcement

2008-12-30T09:40:00.000-08:00

The Stereofame "Like Dandelion Dust" Movie Soundtrack Contest would like to thank the Stereofame music voting community, all entrants and judges.

WINNING ARTIST

Hank Grant

Hank Grant and Co-Songwriter Bill Hail will be flown next week, courtesy of Stereofame, to Palm Springs, California for the International Movie Festival and viewing of the World Premier of Like Dandelion Dust. We've been told be the production company that Hank's song "What I Wouldn't Give" will be featured for about 15 - 20 seconds in one of the early scenes of the movie. Stereofame will be there to videotape Hank's reaction to winning the contest and being featured in the movie.

Contest Note:
Stereofame worked tirelessly with the production company in a failed attempt to award the winner from one of the entry contestants. The Director ultimately chose to exercise a provision in our agreement and contest rules that, as a last resort, enabled all Stereofame artists to be eligible. The Producer stated that the genre of the scene required a country musician. Otherwise, Kitchie Nadal would have been the winner. As a result, Stereofame is electing to recognize her accomplishment of being selected as a finalist and we are awarding her $1,000 as a consolation prize. Stereofame looks forward to continuing to work with motion picture production companies to provide similar contests in the future and we plan to announce our next one very soon.

WINNING LISTENER

bobbio

Stereofame Label "bobbio" has won a trip to the Film premier, including round-trip air transportation and hotel accommodations.

Stereofame looks forward to continuing to work with motion picture production companies to provide similar contests in the future and we plan to announce our next one very soon.

More on SF Rank for Artists & Member Conduct

2008-11-17T19:32:00.000-08:00

Some insight regarding SF Rank and website activity has been provided below to identify quality gaming actions that can boost your SF Rank.

Tips for Improving SF Rank:

1. Accrue Listens & Thumbs-Up votes from individual Labels & Listeners (ie. new people from different parts of the world on different IP addresses discovering and voting on your music)

2. Keep accruing Listens and Thumbs-Up votes by new individual Labels & Listeners over time.

3. Get signed by many individual Labels steadily over time.

4. Get signed by many individual Labels that have successful artists on them.

5. Stick around. Longevity on the site is rewarded.

Actions that do not carry much weight or could hurt your SF Rank if abused:

1. Listens and Thumbs-Up votes from multiple accounts set up by one person.

2. Listens and Thumbs-Up by the same people over and over.

3. Getting signed by multiple Labels with little site activity and a small artist roster.

Other Gaming Actions and Notes:

1. Repeat Thumbs-Down votes by individuals are identified by the Stereofame algorithm and over time have very little impact on your SF Rank. This is also true for repeat Thumbs-Up by the same people. For example, if Listener A logs in and votes for the same 5 tracks every day, those votes will have less and less of an impact on improving that Artist's SF Rank, although points will still be awarded for the action.

2. We have technology in place to limit and monitor multiple users from the same IP address.

Game Conduct:

We take game conduct seriously at Stereofame and want to encourage positive camaraderie between members. Each and every report we receive of suspicious activity is addressed immediately and if the member in question is abiding by all game rules and provides no evidence that the game rules are being abused, then no action is taken.

Community members that report abusive activity are respectfully requested to wait for a personal response from a staff member regarding the inquiry. We typically respond within 24 hours, if not sooner. Abiding by these terms will keep the playing field even for all.

And while we have your attention, we have a question for you! Would you like to see more data regarding your song activity? Currently, artists see the number of listens and the number of thumbs up. Would you also like to see the number of non-votes (ie, people on the site just streaming music for fun) and thumbs-down? Please post your response to this question in the comment area below. We appreciate your feedback!

Stereofame Q&A - How to Get Signed to a Label

2008-10-31T12:59:00.001-07:00

Q: Can you tell me how to get sign by labels?

A: There are many Stereofame Labels on the site ready to listen to your material and consider you for their Label. We recommend that you visit the Browse page on the site and click the Label tab to sort through all the Labels. Take some time to discover Labels that are into your type of music by looking at the artists they already have signed and the type of music they have shown in their Listener history. If it looks like a good match, then click the "Submit Music for Label Review" link in the Label's Action area. When submitting your music, be sure to send a personal message describing your work and give reasons why the Label should sign you.
