Welcome to Unsigned Artists!
If music is your life, you've come to the right place.
August 31, 2007
Welcome to UnsignedArtists.com.com ("UnsignedArtists"), owned, produced and operated by UnsignedArtists.com Inc. and potentially, in part or in whole, by its parent, subsidiary and affiliate corporations, successors, and assigns (collectively referred to as "Company").
Company Overview
UnsignedArtists.com grew out of a desire to provide an informative, entertaining, and overall helpful resource for the UnsignedArtists.com community. At a time when the profits of major music labels are plummeting and many bands and musicians are trying to make it on their own, there is a striking opportunity to engage and inform the unsigned artist by combining two powerful factors: the communicative breadth of online social networks, and a consistent supply of unique, relevant content. We are a destination where UnsignedArtists.com can find the tools, advice and encouragement that they need to make a viable living by pursuing their passion. UnsignedArtists.com provides a global optic for discovering the leading UnsignedArtists.com and their music while providing a multi-media platform for introducing and proof-pointing artists. Music as well as proprietary entertainment content will be streamed to a global market. In addition, while the UnsignedArtists.com concept is rooted in the music field, its model is fully expandable to include not just bands and musicians, but independent artists in all creative realms. UnsignedArtists.com is not just another social networking site, nor is it just another music site. The difference is in the way we approach both of these aspects, creating an experience unlike any other existing website.
