Akamusic.com
Les Oreilles Bleues in collaboration with SO U! is developing
the online community and label Akamusic in France.
Created in 2008, Akamusic is a site that offers the possibility
for new talents to enter into contact with producers and complete
their projects; studio recording and the release of an album.
In creating their own personal page on Akamusic.com, the artist
has the possibility of making available one or more tracks
on the website so that the public may get to know their sound.
On their side, the users may buy shares online for 5 euros
a unit and become producers of the artist of their choice.
Once the financial objective of 50,000 euros is reached for
a certain album, Akamusic aids the artist in the production
and promotion of their album or single.
The user-producer touches 40% of the revenues, 40% goes back
to the artist and 20% goes to Akamusic. In November 2009,
Akamusic comprised over 8,000 artists, over 3,000 of which
went into production. There were over 40,000 producers, 1,400,000
euros invested in artists by users of the site and total of
44 artists reached their goal to achieve 100% of production.
21 of those have released CDs.
