One step to the perfect team
For almost 2 years now I have been carrying out the idea of creating an international professional platform uniting music industry figures - artists (musicians) and record labels.
For a long time, I was fortunate enough to work in the industry, our team was engaged in the release of music by Russian musicians in Europe, and it was at about this time that the idea of the site was born. The reason for this was the fact that at the moment there is no single tool for the promotion, publication and distribution of music content in the world, everything is somehow going bit by bit.
Everyone knows that the label and the artist want to earn money from the release, but there is such a tendency that the label can provide, at best, only good promotion, and you shouldn't even count on any earnings (well, maybe 500 rubles quality single - funny). This happens primarily because the label employees, releasing a quality track, cannot even recoup their labor costs, but they are not small. You need to pay for hosting (and generally a dedicated server), where you are sent a demo, spend time listening to the demo material, select a quality one, contact musicians, sign agreements, prepare a track for release, launch a promo, release it (at this point 10 subparagraphs). Then take the money from the shops and pay with the musicians. All this is a maximum of $ 2,500 per quarter as a whole, before paying the musicians and taxes :-) It’s ridiculous to say something about the earnings of the label’s creators and employees.

After analyzing the industry situation in the world as a whole, I began to develop a model that will help both labels and artists to automate the process of working with each other. Moreover, a model that will give each of them convenient tools for interacting on the one hand, and doing business on the other. Playground - which will erase the barrier of interaction, like music. I managed to do it.
Then the question of technical implementation arose, began to delve into programming issues, even learned to some extent PHP and Zend in order to implement the project. But at some time a clear realization came that the programmer didn’t get into his area, the programmer turned out to be none of me :-) Yes, I’ll be unable to implement technically correctly, correctly and safely with my knowledge set even before the beta version.
Like any quality project, I need a serious and professional team, which I am just starting to assemble, ideally now it is a technician and a programmer, - I myself am engaged in designing interfaces, usability and design.
If someone is interested, I will be glad to cooperate :-)
