Spinlet To Launch Music Distribution Platform for Africa
Music Download Service Allows Artists to Increase Revenue Opportunities and Connect with Fans via a Mobile Platform.
San Francisco, CA – (Oct 10, 2011) – Spinlet is a company dedicated to meeting the needs of music lovers and artists. The company will become the premier digital distribution service to enter the African market and is focused on promoting music as the catalyst for positive social engineering. San Francisco based Spinlet is committed to ensuring they have their finger on the pulse in the Nigerian and African entertainment industries and have recently set up a location in Lagos, Nigeria. The company has hired a local team to assist in the launch of the new Spinlet service set to release this November.
As Africa’s premier digital distribution service Spinlet will assist artists and musicians in capturing revenue streams often lost to the piracy markets. Spinlet began exploring African markets after noticing gaps in distribution of media content in Africa. Spinlet’s move to fill this void was made to revolutionize the distribution and purchasing behavior in the booming African markets.
Spinlet will work together with labels, artists and musicians to produce world-class music that can be marketed and sold throughout Africa and in international markets. The achievements already made within the African Entertainment Industry are monumental with first rate recording studios, international recognition on the rise and commercial opportunities becoming available to artists. “Through digital distribution and artist development we can help to generate economic growth, create jobs in the entertainment industries and help raise international awareness of African artists’ increasing live performance and publishing revenue” says Spinlet’s Mark Redgard.
In addition to the many benefits of working with Spinlet, the company will focus on helping artists connect with and grow their fan bases through film and tv soundtrack placement, multi-national endorsements and commercial opportunities. ”The domestic market is huge and can sustain artists singing in regional languages and experimenting with indigenous styles,” says Redgard, “we want to encourage the youth of Africa to continue to make and market their music and see that they are adequately compensated for it. They deserve commercial success just as anyone else would.”
Artists and record labels can join the Spinlet service and begin selling their music immediately upon launch of the service by contacting a Spinlet representative or submitting their music through an online process. Spinlet does not discriminate on any artists and encourages all rights holders to submit their music or contact Spinlet as soon as possible to begin the process of joining the global Spinlet brand.
