I am just sending you some information about what we are doing here in Atlantic Canada with our new project, OMN. We are moving our way west and wanted you to know what we are trying to do...
We have been very busy working on our project the Online Music Network for the past year, and we did our official launch at the ECMA in Fredericton this year (7 weeks ago). We came up with the idea while I was working for the ECMA in Halifax last year, where I was the Technical Coordinator for the event. I was speaking with my business partner Geoff Fleming, who was the Marketing Coordinator for the ECMA in Halifax and we realized that there was plenty of bands that were not getting any recognition in the industry.
It was during those conversations that we decided to start this business to help under represented Canadian bands and artists get more exposure online, all the while not being lost in You Tube land or My Space. So we decided to take what both of those sites had to offer and combine them into what we call OMN. All Canadian ... all the time!
Our site has several interesting features that we offer to artists and musicians all for free. We offer free profile pages of the band(s), Web site hosting, music downloads and music selling, event tickets, blogs, event listings, merchandise sales and a online radio station that plays all Canadian bands for free through our site.
But one thing we are very proud of is our upcoming feature of having a 24/7 streaming video music channel on the site. This will feature Canadian artists and their music video's and music performances shown on the site.(like You Tube but more focused on our Canadian zone) We will also be having special performances that we will film/tape with another partner - Sonic Temple Studios (Sonic Entertainment).
We have finished our first 6 camera shoot at the Sonic Temple last month of our first band - "Hey Rosetta!" from Newfoundland. We are in the process of editing this for broadcast within the next couple of weeks to coincide with our streaming video launch.
I know I have given you allot of information about the site, but there is just so much going on these days. We are averaging 20 new artists per week joining the site, so the word is getting out. We look forward to posting your music profile, MP3's and music videos!
Please let me know what you think about this?
Some of the artists on the site include: Joel Plaskett George Canyon Charlie A'Court Dave Gunning Ken Tobias Matt Minglewood Bad Seed Overdrive Lennie Gallant Bruce Guthro Covalent Bond Ian Sherwood JD Clarke Discord Laura Smith ... and so many more artists that I have never heard of until now. Although we have started as a representation of Atlantic Canadian bands, the response we have been getting from other regions have prompted us to go national. We would really appreciate your support in our efforts to help introduce you to as many eyes and ears as possible.
Yours in music...
