Have You Spotted Spotify Yet?

          If you haven’t heard of Spotify, What are you waiting for? A world of music is waiting for you. Spotify is like your CD collection online but with millions of songs to download!  Need a few reasons to check it out? You can get it for FREE! It’s versatile for Mac, PC and Mobile, and even Mark Zuckerberg (co-founder of Facebook) says "Spotify is so good."

          Now more than ever people are using social media to share, listen to and buy music, so another great reason to jump on the Spotify bandwagon is that it’s an incredible way for artists to reach their target markets. We’ve been talking about social media tools and the music industry so today's post is dedicated to the Spotify "spot" of fame.
              If you’re a new artist trying to make break into the music scene or if you're a PR practitioner who manages new artists, the first thing you have to do is gain a following.  Many big labels are already using Spotify to draw more than just the attention of fans by uploading their music to Spotify. One of its best features is that independent artists don’t have to have a record deal to have their music on Spotify.
            Want to start a Spotify account? It’s easy! Whether you are an artist trying to find roadies or a fan who wants to jam to a favorite band, Spotify makes it simple. Just go to Spotify and the site will tell you exactly what you get when you create your account. You can choose a Free account, an Unlimited account or a Premium account. Regardless of which account you choose, the possibilities for great music will be at your fingertips.
                    Happy listening!
