MUMBAI: Hungama Digital Media announced the launch of www.artistaloud.com, a digital distribution platform for unreleased music created by artistes.
Hungama Digital, which features songs spanning over six genres, becomes a platform for one to spot music of unknown artistes.
Says Hungama Digital Media MD & CEO Neeraj Roy, "Hungama‘s new initiative, ArtistAloud.com, combines the possibilities of digital platform with great musical talent. It rests on two pillars - giving each artiste his freedom of expression and music lovers their right to choose from a wider offering. Musicians should have a platform to share their compositions, either one or five, with the audience. ArtistAloud is a platform created to fill that void."
With ArtistAloud, musicians now have an opportunity to connect with their fans directly. The library comprises handpicked compositions that have been close to the artist‘s heart and created with great passion.
Artistes on board will retain the publishing rights of their compositions. They have the liberty to take their music onto the physical medium via any record label.
The ArtistAloud library can also be accessed through Hungama‘s domestic and international digital distribution partnerships comprising mobile operators, Hungama.com, the BSNL storefront, iTunes, Rhapsody and Amazon MP3 through the Tata Sky DTH platform.
