Sell Your Music On iTunes with TuneCore!!!
If you’re a solo musician, or a band that’s trying to get your act off the ground, a great place to sell your music would be iTunes right? Well, that’s a nice idea, but how on God’s green earth are you supposed to get it on the iTunes Store in the first place for people to buy? You’d have to be signed with a big record label right? Not if you use TuneCore.
The description on their site says:
“TuneCore is a music delivery and distribution service that gets artist’s original music (even cover versions) and record label releases up for sale on iTunes, eMusic, Rhapsody, Sony Connect, MusicNet and Napster without asking for your rights or taking any money from the sale or use of your music.”
You’re probably wondering how much a service like this costs. It’s more affordable than you’d think. Here’s their cost info:
TuneCore Cost Breakdown:
per song (one time charge)
first store/service
each additional store per album (one time charge)
per album maintenance and storage (per year)
TuneCore, not a bad deal if you ask me! Especially if you’re trying to expand the market for your music.

Up And Coming Artist… Soyu Sae
Our Sunday Music Recommendation: Soyu Sae
by Daniel Matsuura
Soyu Sae is a hybrid performer who captures the art of storytelling through undeniable melodies. Her music is proof that she can not only carry a tune, but can carry her own weight in emotion as well. Each song is a time capsule of a moment in her life that she shares as a universal outlook that anyone can relate to. Her eclectic style is a musical amalgamation of indie, pop, and gospel double-dipped in traditional American folk. Soyu Sae has mastered many traditional-folk instruments, as well as many modern instruments. Fluent in both the guitar and banjo, she brings new perspective to a well constructed song. She accompanies herself with an aray of other instruments from the piano, harmonica, and recorder. When Soyu Sae preaches her unique perception on life, listeners can only nod in agreement as if they had lived through the same experiences she has.
Why Haven’t We Heard of The Zutons?
I don’t care what a zuton is, I just want to know why The Zutons haven’t become more popular on our side of the pond. I guess the Brit’s just get all the good stuff, and we get the leftovers years later. In the UK, this Liverpool fivesome are stars with five No. 1 hits and a Mercury Prize nomination.
I just heard the title song off their New Album “Tired Of Hanging Around“, and absolutely loved it! I want more Zutons!
For a fresh change in music, check out The Zutons.
Listen to “Tired Of Hanging Around” and then buy it at the iTunes Store
