May 25,2011

In these economic times, it's hard for a musician/singer/dancer/artist to get a break. People are not booking as many events (or gigs as we call it in the west). With the current financial situation, any music lover or musician is looking for a break. Well, today I am glad to share this resource that was of great value to musicians.

In a nutshell it's like a worldwide marketplace of music. Your able to network with people who want to want to find music content and potentially license. YouLicense will provide the contracts. They take the complexity out of music licensing and make it affordable.

Best of all to offer your music is free to join and safe.


Considering we are in this slump, companies and musicians are looking for an alternative option that is readily available Consider the possibilities.

If have a piece of quality music, then I would suggest that you give it a try. You have the world at your finger tips.
