Hi all! You should all go and check out http://www.sellaband.com , a new site that was started by some ex Sony Music Europe and Sony BMG execs. They got sick of churning out the same crap all the time.

 

My profile is http://www.sellaband.com/mandyleigh/

 

Artists upload music.

People listen, and invest $10 per part.

Money can be moved or refunded at any time until the target is reached.

When the $50k target is reached (2 have done it so far!), the artist gets a top A&R, Producer and Studio to record a top album.

Album is released worldwide, and some tracks are free on Sellaband.

Investors share 50% of the cd profits and 1/3 of the site's ad revenue.

 

I`m 8th atm, out of about 1800 artists :) Please check Sellaband and myself out.

Your support for me would be fantastic, but if you don't like me, there are a lot of great artists on there.

 

I'm aiming at being top 5 in the next 2 months, and then reaching the target by November this year (not impossible... Nemesea did it within a few months, Cubworld took 6 months.... once you reach a certain amount, it snowballs. 2nd Person were on 12k only a few weeks ago... now are over 20k... they'll reach the target in less than 2 months).

 

Would love some love from you guys, and hey, if Coldplay read this... hope to see you join the team too :)

 

Love,

 

Mandyleigh

 

ps I`m a proper big Coldplay fan and member of this forum for a long time... this isn't random spam :)

Im listening to " Grey " .. Cool song :)

Hi Soufianemac2!

 

Cool! :) I used to have suicidal depression when I was much younger... and that song was written about me by my boyfriend. I also have a piano blues version of it, which some other people like even better than that one.

 

Wow, you got to it quick :)

 

As an incentive for 'believers' (what they call investors), I`ve been posting 16-track demo cd's, giving extra parts and giving access to a super-secret exclusive believers page.... loads of Mp3's, video links and the process of songs I`m writing, asking people which songs to record in the studio soon etc. Lot's of stuff.

 

Hopefully you'll like me enough to 'believe' too :)

 

Glad you like Grey :) I have many more styles of music (ballads, pop, rock) on my website.... http://www.mandyleigh.com .

 

I've said it elsewhere in the forums, but my favourite Coldplay songs (that I wish I had written) are Amsterdam and Fix You.

btw, I`m also a believer myself on Sellaband, and the artists I have invested in and recommend for you fellow Coldplay fans are:

Mesa Street Exit

Kane Sole

Daniel Ward Murphy

Sasha Vella

Light

 

I invested in Cubworld too, but as he has already hit the 50k and will be recording his album soon, you can't invest, but you can still listen.... he is great. I may be doing a cover of one of his songs soon, for fun :)

Adam Sieff (A&R expert and former head of Sony Music Jazz) invested in me and said this:

 

"Excellent songs and a beautiful hearfelt voice. A key member of the Australian Sellaband explosion and deserves to go all the way to $50K! "

 

It's really nice that people like my songs, but without your investment I won't be able to record them properly, or any new ones (much rockier btw... even one heavy rock song :) ).

 

Love,

 

Mandyleigh

Overnight I moved up back up to 8th :)
