Mumbai: Indian radio station - Radio City has partnered with Beatchain, the innovative technology company behind a groundbreaking A&R tool, to launch “Muzartdisco.” Set to launch at ‘All About Music,’ India's only B2B music industry conference, in Mumbai on 6 August 2024, Muzartdisco will be open to the vast and diverse community of Indie artists worldwide, providing access to Beatchain’s range of creator services, tools, and educational content tailored for Indie artists.
Beatchain’s white-label technology powers digital ‘arenas’ that can be owned and customised by music companies and labels, catering to artists across genres and territories. Muzartdisco will offer a comprehensive suite of tools for distributing, promoting, and marketing music while allowing artists to retain their full rights and gain exclusive data insights into the performance of their music through a personal dashboard. This new platform is set to revolutionise our country’s music scene by empowering independent artists and amplifying their voices globally.
Artists using Muzartdisco will have the chance to earn career-changing opportunities offered by Radio City, including a nationwide radio breakout campaign with airplay, social media shoutouts across its networks, an artist of the month website feature, and a nomination for a Radio City Freedom Award – a nationally recognised awards ceremony celebrating Indie music. Additionally, it will provide unique studio sessions, mentoring, collaborations with renowned artists, writers, and producers, and photoshoots. The platform will also include a "Fan Builder" feature, enabling artists to build a sustainable fan base and create a thriving music career.
Radio City CEO Ashit Kukian commented, “Radio City envisions to connect with audiences worldwide, and this partnership will be yet another stepping stone in that direction. Muzartdisco, India’s first one-stop platform for independent artists, will provide 360-degree opportunities to sustain artistic careers as well as avenues to promote and track their growth. We possess the right mix of communication and marketing tools to enhance the presence of artists on this platform which can be leveraged through cross-pollination with our other internal IPs like SMINCO, Happydemic, JioTV+ amongst others. This will ensure that, by using the latest technologies, we establish a strong foundation for a center stage where all Indie artists can showcase their talents and capture hearts globally.”
Beatchain chief strategy officer Luke Mendoza stated, “Technology has revolutionized the music industry, democratizing access to music for consumers and creating incredible opportunities for artists. But, the sheer volume of music now available is making music discovery and cut-through more difficult. Our platform enables A&R teams and labels to identify real talent – those already demonstrating the qualities needed for a thriving music career – and can connect artists directly with industry tastemakers. By combining our technology with Radio City’s extensive reach and passion for Indian independent music, will offer artists unlimited opportunities to launch and sustain a career in music.”
Understanding the need of the hour, Radio City is strengthening efforts through “Radigitalisation” to seamlessly transition from radio to digital. By tapping into various digital platforms, they ensure that their content reaches where the end consumer is, maximising reach and visibility for individuals and helping them gain the recognition they deserve.
