Without exception, all musicians who want to earn money on what they are doing, looking for any ways that would help them overcome the barrier from the torrent tracker and mediators in the face of greedy labels.

So to meet the talent and in spite of the record company decided to go broadcasts YouTube. It was announced today at an exhibition of modern technologies SXSW, which takes place in Texas, the service starts program Musicians Wanted. Become a member of this campaign, you can by writing a request to the organizers.

"Whether you work in a hip-hop, folk, noise rock, jazz, or in your own genre – we are interested in any original music video," – wrote in an official blog is responsible for musical direction YouTube Michele Flannery (Michele Flannery) .

One of the main conditions for participation in the program – is the availability of video for bloggers. That is, anyone who wants to be able to insert a video in your blog or on any music resource. The fact is that many record companies are blocking this feature in their music videos to YouTube, which of course leads to a decrease in hits … And the views – this is exactly what the musicians will receive the money. The more people see the movie and advertising look, the more the musician earn – simple as that.

Besides, the money goes directly to the author, and not through a record label, which necessarily would have picked up a tempting slice of the royalties. Of course, not every band or musician "loner" can make money on YouTube. As you already understood, the selection will be quite tough, but fair.
