StartMySong Allows Songwriters to Sell Their Music & Keep 100% Download Revenues Thanks to Bandbox Widget

The songwriting industry has taken a hit just like the rest of the music business due to shifts in revenue sources from music sales. Usually, a songwriter would look to a publisher to get their music into the hands of recording artists or licensing deals to generate revenues from their songs. Start My Song was created to further facilitate this process by allowing songwriters from anywhere in the world the chance to pitch their music to publishers, music supervisors, and others looking for that next big hit. By allowing anyone to hear and rank the music, Start My Song creates a top songs chart making it easy for those looking for the best new music. The top rated songs are listed on the Top Songs tab where if a song is desired, it simply takes clicking on the “Publish, License, or Record” button to begin negotiations with the artist for use of that song.

Quite often though, the demo is already good enough for the consumer, especially with songs submitted by singer/songwriters who already write and produce their own music. With advances in technology, it’s much easier today to create incredible music without the need for expensive production and mixing (although that never hurts). So why should songwriters sit back and wait for an artist or publisher to record and help sell their music when people are ready to buy? There is no need as now songwriters can sell their song demos just like regular songs and keep 100% download revenues from their music sales.

This has been made possible through a joint effort between Bandbox and Start My Song. Bandbox, a company based in Nashville, allows the creation of an embeddable widget which acts as a store for your digital and physical music. The Bandbox widget allows artists to set their own prices, sell their music immediately, and make 100% of the profit on every digital track or album sold. This widget can now be embedded right on the Songwriter’s Start My Song artist page.
