Yet again I bring you another resource to help all you talented musicians. This time it is Indaba Music, and it has been quoted that this is "the Linkedin of music", and that can't be anymore true. This site is similar to that of BandMix except this goes to a whole new level.

So what does Indaba Music offer?

Networking/Collabs: Members are able to have their own profiles and use these profiles to network with others in the music industry and be able to become discovered by professionals. You are able to upload your own music and collaborate with other musicians on the site.

Sell/Distribute:  Indaba allows you to sell to Itunes or even sell directly to your fans through your own widget. Then you are able to share everything through your social networking pages. But what makes the distributing even more amazing is the way to distribute royalties. You can distribute to each member of your band the amount of royalties they should receive. Which makes it easy on everyone else.

Opportunities: There are so many opportunities and concerts posted on the website. Such as remix, songwriting, and many other types of contests. Prizes can be just exposure or even be money amounts that can be thousands of dollars. Some notable opportunities were with Linkin Park, Yo-Yo Ma, Steven Colbert, and T-Pain.


Does it cost anything?

There are 3 different types of accounts. The basic one is free, but you have limited access such as you can only enter 3 contests per year. But then there are other accounts that you have to pay for which allows you to gain more access. There is the pro account which is $50 a year where you basically get unlimited anything, and then the platinum account which is $250 a year, which basically just gets you more storage space compared to the pro account and allows you to put more songs on Itunes using their service. I think the $50 a year package is definitely worth it if you are serious about doing remixes and songwriting. Because even if you just win one it can pay off.

I suggest all of you musicians to at least sign up for a free account and see if it is for you. It can only help you! Go to www.Indabamusic.com now!
