Our mission at Band Kitty is to provide musicians, artist reps, fans, and other supporting organizations within the music industry, a set of tools to better understand what is happening within our industry. With our recently developed Buzz-o-meter, we aim to bring transparency and accountability with the objective of nurturing a fair and prosperous marketplace.
Well, not exactly. Our focus is to help musicians and industry brethren make a decent living by doing what we love to do. We expect to achieve this result by helping artists and artist management navigate a shifting financial landscape. In addition to seismic changes to traditional revenue streams, legislation has also become a significant consideration. Recently, the United States Congress has mandated that performance royalty payments must be paid directly to artists and musicians for recorded performances that receive radio play on Internet and satellite radio.
The Band Kitty Buzz-o-meter was created to support a lot of different constituencies. We are currently working with a select few Artist Managers and other industry participants to tweak the knobs and dial our solutions in. We're now expanding our beta user community and soliciting applications for those interested in fattening their bottom line. Due to anticipated volume, application approval will be strictly limited to a select few participants. Rules apply, and we reserve the right to reject applications without comment.
Bandkitty.com was founded and built by musicians and industry veterans to turn up the volume on your buzz. We've got surprises up our sleeves, well beyond Top 20 lists, and look forward to letting the world in on the secrets we hold. If you'd like to join the ranks of bandkitty.com, feel free to contact us, and tell us about yourself and how you think you could make a difference.
