Company Summary

The music industry nowadays is such a vast and lucrative market with unlimited possibilities. It is a $15.2 billion-dollar industry and that is just in the U.S. alone.
Our vision is to take advantage of these possibilities, by establishing a music casting company (PureSound) which is unique and introduces an innovative network app to the music world.

PureSound Network app will work as a filter between artists and consumers who are looking for a talent. Essentially, how the app works is a consumer who is in need of a musician/singer/songwriter will post a project on our app through our website. Once it’s posted, the artist can submit their profile to the project. We will generate the revenue through the artists’ monthly or yearly membership fee which is listed in the products section and revenue is shown in the 3-year financial projection. Our office, on a daily basis, will overlook the operation of the website, subscriptions and provide customer service and any trouble shooting required by the users.

How the app will function for the artist: The artist will download the app and be given the choice between two different memberships: Monthly and Yearly membership.
Once the artist has chosen between the yearly or monthly membership option then they will create their profile by uploading their photos, creating their bio, linking their website and social media, as well as hosting their songs from other websites such as; Sound Cloud, Myspace or any other site that has their music. By allowing the artist to host their music from another site, the artist does not have to upload their songs which takes time and will be difficult to maintain every time they want to change a song.
The artists will create a profile on PureSound Network App which will include their songs, videos, photos, resume, followers and contact information. The artists will then apply to any project submitting their profile, but may only apply once per each job. This protects the consumer from spam. The artists will receive a notification every time a consumer wants to book them/ hold audition.

How the app will function for the consumer: The consumer will not have to set up a profile or pay any fees. They will need to provide their information such as company name and contact information (for PureSound’s needs only).
The consumer will post what they need from an artist by stating what they are looking for i.e. what genre, project description and compensation for the project. The consumer will have the option to receive notifications every time an artist have submitted to their project or turn off notifications and check artists’ submission at their convenience. The consumer will be able to contact the artist of their choice through the artist’s contact information on their profile. The consumer is allowed to post as many jobs as they want but cannot post the same job more than once a day. This protects the artists from spam.
