Overview:: Email us and we will send you all the details of our services.
For any of you not in bubble from 1995, the old model of music business is dead. This has very clear since 2000, and yet the majors have done nothing but complain about downloading. Instead of embracing technology and figuring out new ways to break artists they are working in an out of touch 90's paradigm. We are implementing a new model focusing on long term growth, cheap music, treating the fans as people and not dollar signs, unique marketing perspectives, and embracing technology in every way possible. Dedicated fan growth will be the only way to make a living in music, treat them well and they will treat you well. We will do everything we can to create and nurture this relationship. As Built dedicates the time and effort needed to help break a band.
