My wife & myself are creating a new business model in Athenarts Records. You can access us at;
http://records.athenarts.com
We intend to provide value for 3 groups of people;
1) Financiers / Sponsors - We want to offer the opportunity of earning royalty income from Music to financiers / sponsors. We have worked out the distribution channels (mainly online mediums) to allow monetization for Music.
2) Music talents - We are adopting a collaborative model for songwriting and song production that allows music to be created by prosumers (professional consumers). The music talents who are involved will form as our marketing agents for it is their own work.
3) Consumers - Consumers benefit from a new source of independent music. We are leveraging on a unique business model for rewarding them for making recommendations to other consumers. This forms a viral marketing effect on good songs that are produced.
Our unique business combines innovation, financial sustainability & social welfare awareness. It will provide investors an opportunity for investment. I will be honest with all of you that we are still in the formative stage of the business, and we would not be providing any more information than what is available on our website.
Register at our website at http://records.athenarts.com to be a part of this revolution - music has never been produced or marketed to consumers this way before (at least not in Singapore). Participate in co creating a business that is unique & financially rewarding. Tell us how you can be a part.
For those who have come to my talk "Government grants & you" should know I structure business to be eligible for government grants & investments. We are in fact structuring this very carefully to get grants from MICA / SPRING Singapore. And again whoever who wants to know more about government grants, you can register an account at

Thanks and Best Regards.
