Press Release: Aussie Digital Distributor Musicadium Launches
Musicadium – Australia’s dedicated digital distributor – officially launched this week.
More than 150 people turned up to see Musicadium favourites The Westminsters, The Frankie Band and Brisbane supergroup Ranger take the stage.
With the signing of Asutralian supergroup Ranger - featuring singer songwriter Cameron McKenzie, bass player Adele Pickvance (The Go-Betweens) and Martin Lee (ex-Regurgitator) - Musicadium is assisting an exciting new band to access to benefits of the digital age.
“It used to be that bands would spend thousands of bucks to press and distribute a few hundred albums locally. Digital is a whole different ball game. With digital, you can get unlimited international distribution for the cost of a round of drinks. It’s never been easier for artists to get their music out there,” said Musicadium Business Manager Nick Crocker.
“We are the only distributor in Australia that returns 100% of royalties to our artists. It was a decision we made early on in the process,” Mr Crocker said.
“Obviously, short term, it would be a smarter financial choice for us to take a cut of our artists’ royalties. But, in the long run, we want to be recognised as a true supporter of independent artists worldwide. To do that we have foregone short term profit and developed a business model that works by giving back to our artists all the royalties they make.”
It’s a revolutionary business model, one that would have been inconceivable even a few short years ago. But with the digital music market growing each month, Musicadium is set to capitalise on the changing face of the music business and, in the process, put the artist in the driving seat.
