Florida Colleges & Universities Choose Online Companies To Introduce Students To Independent Music Artists

By Anonymous

MIAMI, FL September 7, 2004 -- In an effort to share the uniqueness and authenticity of indie music, MyGloblalSound (MGS) and Sonicbids recently released the compilation CD—MGS BACK-TO-SCHOOL MIX DISC- VOL. I. Over eight thousand college freshmen attending Miami-Dade College, University of Miami and Florida International University will be direct recipients of this dynamic CD which features some of the most unique, musical sounds found throughout the world.

As the creator of the Electronic Press Kit (EPK™) platform that enables music industry professionals to send and receive press kits online, Sonicbids partnered with MGS to feature twenty-one independent artists and musicians on the CD. Out of three hundred EPK submissions from Sonicbids’ members, MGS selected artists based on their ability to creatively express personal experiences through funky tracks, hypnotic beats and memorable lyrics that college students would most enjoy.

“Introducing college students to the works of indie music artists is an awesome opportunity,” states Bensin Joseph, Founder & CEO of MyGlobalSound. “With a struggling music industry that is saturated with everyday artists and predictable music, MyGlobalSound and Sonicbids has teamed up to expose students and the rest of the world to artists like North and Agony and The Naked Apes. “Our goal is to breathe a new, refreshing approach to music that is free from typical, mainstream innuendos commonly heard through pop music.”

“We are very excited to be partnering with MyGlobalSound.com " said Panos Panay, Founder & CEO of Sonicbids. "Their back to school compilation CD is a great opportunity for Sonicbids members to get their music in front of a crucial audience—the college market."

The MGS BACK-TO SCHOOL MIX DISC- VOL. I is available to students at participating schools through new student orientation grab bags; MGS booth setups located at various campuses; and online at www.MyGlobalSound.com for free downloads. Individual CD’s of artists featured on the compilation disc are available for purchase at www.MyGlobalSound.com. MyGlobalSound.com also provides additional information on independent artists such as bios, press releases, live performance listings and sample tracks for free downloads.

General consumers can also obtain the MGS BACK-TO SCHOOL MIX DISC- VOL. I for FREE by downloading tracks available at www.MyGlobalSound.com.
