An Opportunity For Ghanaian Artistes To Make It Internationally and Globally

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 Source: ghanamusic.com

Many at times, we hear figures like 1 million and 2 million as sales of albums of international greats such as 50 cent, Mariah Carey and the likes and we go like wow, this is something else.

Well, let me tell you the secret. It's not something that should amaze you. It's just the power of the internet -people all over the world download songs of their favourite artistes online.

Now tell me; isn't this the best way of getting people globally to listen to your music because you and I know not all can walk to the stores to purchase an album?

This is why Artspages, the well acclaimed online distribution for Music Labels and Artists upon realizing how difficult it's to get Ghanaian songs at the doorsteps of the public globally has taken it upon itself to extend its wings to Ghana so as to put Ghanaian artistes on the world music map through the power of the click.

Artspages have a worldwide distribution through large global services like I Tunes, Microsoft, Real Networks/ Rhapsody, Yahoo! Music and Music Net, Sony Connect, OD2 and regional services such as key mobile operators in Africa and Asia, key services in Latin America, Europe, Japan and China.

To mention a few, it was introduced by Nokia in 1998 and can boast of numerous achievements such as a breakthrough agreement with Music Copyright Society of China on online licensing in Q1 2005, large launch with Chinese MoC and Norwegian PM in 2002.

Today, IMPALA, European Music Office and other major players have chosen Artspages as their main exploitation partner in China because of its credibility.

This is the most interesting part: Artspages offers low distribution costs at competitive prices and strong protection of rights holders as master files won't be transferred to third parties rather encoded files are delivered to clients. And guess what! No upfront signing fee!

With a solid technical platform and world-class technical partners such as Fraunhofer IDMT ("The inventor of mp3"), 4FO AG, Microsoft Corporation and WOMEX and Mondomix on developing new community tools and services, Artspages is definitely the safest and the most forward thinking flight to the international front.
