* Welcome *
Overview
Welcome to Story Street Music, a web-based music
community designed to promote independent songwriters
and home recording artists to music industry professionals
and the general public. Founded in 2007, Story Street Music
endeavors to be a leading business-to-business and artist-to-
consumer website serving these artists and their fans. By
creating an on-line community of artists, fans and industry
insiders, we believe that we can help deserving unknown
talents get heard, get known, and get the support they need
to keep creating great music.
The Consumer’s Record Label
The recording industry has been and still is dominated by
several large record companies that dictate who and what
you hear. Lucky for us, advances in home recording
technology, coupled with the evolution of use of the internet,
has forever changed the way the recording industry can
work. By design, Story Street Music was created to take
advantage of the incredible power of the internet to be the
“Consumer’s Record Label.” Here the consumer decides
who and what you hear. Story Street Music provides
consumers the opportunity to sample individual songs and
purchase them a-la-carte in a format that they can use in
their home, car or personal listening device. Artists and
songs can be searched by genre, name, region, etc. The
cost to download songs from our site is comparable to other
commercial downloading services; however, unlike artists
recording for traditional music labels, our artists keep the
majority of the sales price. As such, sales of songs at our
site means that artists can reinvest their earnings into buying
more equipment, hiring a professional engineer at their next
session, or recording at a professional studio. This is what
we mean when we say this is the Consumer’s Record Label.
Your investment in these artists enables them to develop and
will result in more and better sounding original music in the
future.
The Power of Music
In keeping with the rich tradition that music and its
performance have meant in terms of helping people heal,
spreading awareness on issues of social importance, and in
simply bringing people together, Story Street Music serves a
deeper purpose than just selling songs. Part of the Story
Street mission is to raise money to support organizations
whose activities bring benefit to individuals and communities.
As such, Story Street artists will donate a minimum of 25% of
their net sales proceeds (on sales initiated through Story
Street Music) to various charities and non-profit
organizations selected by the artists and Story Street Music.
The organization supported by an individual song purchase
is noted on the artist website. Consumers purchasing songs
at Story Street should feel good to know that their purchases
will not only enable the artists they enjoy to continue writing
and recording original music but will also directly benefit
causes that need and deserve our support.
Note From Founder
Thank you for supporting Story Street Music and the artists in
our community! Enjoy your stay and I will see you on the
Street.
