Broadjam.com Enables Access to Radio Using Musicrypt's DMDS
* * * * September 11, 2006, Madison, Wisconsin - In the past, independent musicians would have to buy huge quantities of bubble envelopes, then stuff them with CDs that took hours to burn, then look up contact information, then print out labels, then weigh the packages, then head to the post office where they would pay a hefty bill for mailing.
It's been done this way for years. If you weren't with a major label and wanted to get your music to radio stations - you had to do it.
Now there's a cheaper, secure, web-based delivery alternative.
Broadjam.com, one of the world's largest communities of independent music artists, has launched a revolutionary new service - Broadjam Radio Deliveries. Powered by Musicrypt's patented Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS), Broadjam Radio Deliveries allows independent artists to deliver their music and promotional materials directly to radio stations across North America. The deal with Musicrypt Inc., the industry\'s leading and most secure digital music distribution company, gives independent musicians the opportunity to reach radio stations in the same manner as major label artists.
Broadjam Radio Deliveries allows Broadjam.com members to send broadcast quality music, bios, pictures and other promotional materials directly to the desktops of radio professionals and track when their material was delivered. The service provides a far more effective, secure and cost-effective means of distributing music and related promotional material than traditional mailing. Most important to the independent musician, Broadjam Radio Deliveries provides security and accountability thanks to DMDS's encryption, biometrics, and watermarking, ensuring that only the intended recipient can access their work. The addition of Radio Deliveries to Broadjam's existing suite of tools places further control into the hands of independent artists.
\"Broadjam is very proud to provide this new promotional tool, and we've received an immediate and positive response from our members,\" said Roy Elkins, founder and CEO of Broadjam Inc. \"DMDS has set a new standard for secure media distribution to radio professionals, and Broadjam is delighted to partner with an innovator like Musicrypt to open such channels to indie musicians.\"
Currently the world's fastest growing community for independent artists, Broadjam boasts a database of more than 250,000 songs from artists representing all 50 US states and over 110 different countries. Musicrypt's DMDS has delivered thousands of songs over from over 40 record labels to destinations which include radio stations representing over 35 broadcast chains, making it the perfect resource for Broadjam's rapidly growing membership of 60,000.
"Broadjam is leading the way in the online independent music space by offering this service to their members," said John Heaven, President and CEO of Musicrypt. "We are proud to work with Broadjam to enable tens of thousands of independent artists to deliver their music to radio via our DMDS technology. Already one of the largest and most respected music communities on the web, Broadjam has once again leveled the playing field for the independent artist. The ability for an indie musician to deliver their music to radio in the same manner as the majors is extremely significant."
Broadjam.com has been integral in accelerating the careers of its many independent artists like pop singer Jenna Drey, who was signed to Emanon Records distributed by Universal Music, following three months on Broadjam's Top 10 charts. With the addition of Radio Deliveries, Broadjam expects to significantly increase the exposure and profile of its artists to radio, record labels and the music industry.
"The launch of Broadjam Radio Deliveries is a great day for the independent music community," said Garry Wallace, a music industry business consultant who was instrumental in aligning these two innovative companies. "This is a significant breakthrough in access to commercial radio for independent artists."
