Grapefruit Records is a cd compilation/internet
mp3 distributor label that seeks the participation
of artists to share in a co-operative means of promotion
and distribution of their work internationally. Artists
get involved with Grapefruit Records for the simple
reason that they want their music to be heard; not
just in the local clubs or even within their country's
borders, but worldwide.
Our internet cd compilations are, by the very nature
of the internet, international - independent bands
and solo musicians from all over the world are brought
together on each cd. Each artist then participates
in the promotion and distribution of the compilation
projects in their part of the world which thus gives
international exposure to all the other bands involved.
This project is operating on a non-profit basis. (Most
costs are covered by friends with web servers, etc..)
The artists involved will help decide on the compilation
title, art, etc... They will also be showcased on
the website with photos of the band, downloadable
mp3s, news about the band and any info on their latest
gigs. You in turn purchase the compilation CDs at
cost ( the price that just covers the production,
we are aiming at 7 - 10 $CDN a CD), and you may buy
as many or as few copies as you want and sell them
at whatever price you choose. You dont even have to
buy them, if you feel they won't be beneficial. We
will also send out stickers and other promotional
materials to the people involved to post at bars,
music stores, etc, in their area. Thus increasing
general awareness of the site at a very low cost.
Grapefruit Records however does not accept every
musician that wants to be take part. We will be
trying to keep a level of quality, in hopes of creating
a buzz around the site that all the bands involved
are great. There is no point having a site where
all the good music is buried beneath tons of shit.
Grapefruit Records will not own the rights to any
of any of the music you submit to our compilation
CD or website. Everyone involved has the right to
choose whenever they want to be no longer part of
our operation.
Ultimate goals include - A Showcase of the bands
that are part of the project at a great Venue.
Have one of the bands who were once part of the
operation to make it big and help us out in the
future.
To be bought for billions of dollars by a large
record company.
Make millions of people aware of the great music
available at GrapeFruitRecords.Com
So don't waste any time and send us in your music
and lets get the ball rolling. Go to Contact Us
to learn how to do so, and if you have any more
questions just give us an email at info@grapefruitrecords.com
