About Me
Welcome to Zoomoozik, the world’s home for the independent artist. Zoomoozik was started by a bunch of guys sitting around and bitching about the way the music industry screws artists.
After a few beers we decided to shut up and step up…
Bringing years of experience in the industry from all over the world we welcome you to Zoomoozik!!!
Zoo-mu-zik (n): an online music community for bands, fans and the industry; the world’s first all-digital recording label, retail and distribution site for MP3 downloads, ringtones and streams; a data base of unsigned groups with valuable consumer information for A&R execs, publishers, promoters, booking agents and record companies; a resource for artist questions on legal and business issues; provides “robot†management and consultation.
We’re an experienced staff of passionate industry pros who understand musicians’ visions and what it takes to turn them into reality. We care about the success of our artists.
Zoomoozik’s staff includes Dennis R. Sinnott, who as EMI Music Publishing Head of Copyright, negotiated deals for the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Queen, Jeff Beck and Deep Purple during his 35-plus years as a publisher.
Other members of the Zoomoozik family include experts in the areas of incubating new businesses, and careers that include opening the initial House of Blues in L.A., Senior Vice President for Billboard Live and the owner of Chilmark Entertainment Company, which has managed many well known artists.
We are a virtual record label that includes a CEO in the backwoods of Mississippi, a COO in Orange County, an artist development firm in Boston, a New York City-based talent exec, an Atlanta-based club promoter, programmers in Edinburgh, Scotland, web designers in Toronto, an English expatriate copyright solicitor in St. Louis and a graphic design team in Orlando. Zoomoozik’s reach is global, though its appeal can well be local.
“This is the direction the industry’s moving toward,†Sinnott explains. “Those in control might not like it, but the Internet has opened up more doors. This is a tremendous way of distributing music. We also offer an expertise, advice and help which can be good for artists. People tend to underestimate the intelligence of musicians. This gives them true control over their careers.â€
