Welcome to DEAD Famous Artists, the new label, management. licensing and production entity from the Astral Records / MPM Worldwide team. Here is the new face of simple and no fuss artist management, production and release opportunity that creates the ultimate testing platform for new artists that are trying to make the cut and get to the pinnacle of the MPM worldwide umbrella. Any new artists that are signed will go through the DEAD Famous platform first. This is a business management deal for (12) months with a (12) month option only. It's designed to see if both entity's are a good workable fit together and to see if some standard objectives can be met within a base time frame. If at the end of the (12) month initial period the management team at DF can secure the artist a release deal for their album either with a major, indie or quality online digital entity then the option will be offered to the artist to leave DF and come on board with a (3) year long form management deal with the international team at MPM Artist Management.
What could be easier and more fairer than that we ask you? If at the end of the (12) months the agreed to objectives have not been met and the artist feels that they could do better elsewhere, then we will let you go, no questions asked and all your material will revert back to you to do a deal elsewhere and with another third party entity. In short, we don't believe in locking you guys up under a contractual arrangement that is going nowhere fast.... The DEAD Famous team is made up of (5) industry professionals that include, Mike Puskas (CEO Astral Records & Music and MPM Artist Management), Tony Boswell (CEO Play It For The Labels), James Lucente (CEO of Lucki Entertainment in Florida) Kathy Braceland (A&R Manager at Clockwork Records and Shogun Records) and Shanna Saul (MD of Karnal Promotions in the US) We have just bought on David Todd ex front man for UK band, Existend to handle UK A&R for the label and Joel Wanasek will be our ears in the Mid Wewst of the US and also owns and runs JTW Studios. All of the players are respected and well established A&R people with a proven track record in the international music industry and know a great commercially viable act when they hear one.
The current DEAD Famous roster include:Janice Doll (Brazil) Muzzy Luctin (US) Snake (AU) The Vaine (AU) FyreFly (UK) Ripped (Canada) New Self High (US) Damnzal (AU) Deadly Tide (ITALY) Dark Shift (US)
As the label and management team are growing leaps and bounds and we have just signed a (3) year label output and release deal in the US with Blastzone/Nightmare Records and distributed by KOCH International. In Canada we have a release deal with C4 Records and KOCH Canada for all hard rockand metal releases and Fontana/Nth/Universal in the US as well as Radar Records in for our German Releases. We are currently in negotiations with other major players in the UK and Europe. The new digital deal with Indie911 and IODA will see all DEAD Famous records releases distributed into over 150+ digital retail outlets around the world which include, I Tunes, Burnlounge, MSN, CD Baby, Rhapsody, CD Plus Napster etc. All these releases will be effectively marketed through a strong promotional campaign which includes all mobile and PDA wireless delivery, international licensing and a slate of major rewards style programs around the globe. Our royalty collection is administered and watch dogged by Fintage House in the UK. So artists will definitely get paid for all their hard work and sales for a change. We are currently looking to sign (6) new acts in 2008. So, if your keen and your the first 25 artists to add yourselves as friends and leave us a cool comment then send us your high quality and semi finished album or demo, attentioned to - Michael Puskas (head of A&R) at DEAD Famous Artists at 122 Dorking Road, Box Hill Victoria 3129 Australia. Please put the following code on your package so it gets straight to the executive team for review and not lost in our fodder and filler package pile which we basically get to when and If time permits. Code: Greenlight DF2008.
With the massive popularity of the first (13) DEAD Famous Artist compilations now available on all good digital retailers including I Tunes in the US we have needed to enlist the support of our partners at Sonicbids to help us streamline the process and from the first week of January 2008 all artists will have to submit from the drop down boxes at Sonicbids listed just below.
Go for it...the hottest new solution to worldwide effective artist management and global release is here, we're going to try our Damndest to make you DEAD Famous....
Cheers
Mike
