Biography

Our Mission: To get your music on the play lists of Program Directors worldwide.

Who We Are: Created with the independent artist in mind, RadioMavens.com is the vehicle you need to get your music out into the world and drive broadcasters to your web site, social networks, videos and most importantly, to download your single for airplay.

For artists with full CDs/albums, we appreciate the work you've put into every song you've recorded. Therefore, our services are designed to expose your entire project to radio while focusing on an emphasis track (single) of your choosing which best represents your genre. If you would like our input, the staff at RadioMavens.com is available to help you select which track is most "radio-friendly." Specializing in Country/Americana, Indie-Rock, Pop, and Christian/Gospel, we consider your entire CD an important expression of who you are as an artist, and recognize the value of the whole project in our promotion strategies.

Services: Upon review and acceptance of your broadcast quality CD, RadioMavens.com will email you the necessary forms to register with SoundExchange.com, a non-profit organization responsible for performance royalty distribution (and the only organization to which the United States Government has assigned this responsibility). Once you've registered with SoundExchange.com, all airplay you receive from any song on your CD will accumulate royalties. Sound Exchange is a FREE service that is currently holding millions of dollars in an “artist unknown” account, the result of unregistered artist's royalties generated by airplay and spins. You MUST register to receive payments.

We'll also help you set up a site at AirPlayDirect.com which is another free service/digital press kit for artists who want international as well as domestic radio exposure to thousands of subscribing Program Directors worldwide. (Note: currently Sound Exchange does not track international spins, however that is probable in the future). Your free site at AirplayDirect.com gives Program Directors looking for new music the ability to find you and your music online. After submitting a copy of your CD for thumb-printing (for digital broadcast tracking purposes)...you're ready to go!

We start by creating an e-flyer with your song link embedded, making your song available for immediate download to all program directors on our tracked target-station list for music of your genre, including an additional link to your web site. Two weeks after sending out your first e-flyer/press release, we'll send a second custom e-flyer to our complete list of Program Directors, within your genre, driving them to your web site, videos, social networking sites and, most importantly, to your AirPlayDirect.com site for another opportunity to download your song for free.

Follow Up: Over an 8-week period, we will track the impact your single/CD is receiving at radio through a proprietary software program that digitally tracks the airplay on hundreds of subscribing stations within your genre. Although Commercial terrestrial radio is slow to come onto a song, Internet radio is quick to add a song and equally as quick to come off of it, as is Non-commercial College radio. The good news is, this gives you an opportunity to release several singles throughout the year, and we've made it affordable for you to do so by discounting our fees for each additional single you release within the same project. You will receive tracking reports over the 8-week period with radio station contact information included. You can utilize this valuable information for ongoing self-promotion and for marketing and touring strategies (see sample report link above). Simultaneously, we'll be tracking all the songs on your CD and providing you with all traceable radio spin activity as well as Internet streaming activity.

Results!: RadioMavens.com is your personal liaison/connection to Program Directors and, consequently, their listeners. We've made our price affordable for you, the artist, so that you may have the opportunity to release several singles throughout the year, helping you to remain current on their play lists. In addition, you will be developing a reputation as an artist of consistency, with a commitment to your career, which will give Program Directors the additional motivation to believe in you as an artist that is worth spinning. With AirPlayDirect.com, your songs will remain actively available for radio download until you personally remove them. The services of RadioMavens.com combined with your visibility at AirPlayDirect.com will make each of your future radio promotion campaigns more effective and cost-efficient... specifically; no singles to manufacture, no direct mail costs incurred, and the most inexpensive access to thousands of Programmers.
