OUR MISSION

 

TMG Street Pride understands that being successful is the dream of many aspiring independent labels and artists.   But at the end of the day the music business is a very competitive industry.   Many artists still believe that if the song is great and the vocals are perfect that the industry will find them.  Very rarely does this happen anymore.  The dynamics of the business has changed.  TMG Street Pride is here to help encourage all independent labels and artists to develop the business side of their career as well as the creative side.  Both sides work hand and hand.  When raising funds (for your musical endeavors) don’t forget to budget for marketing and promoting your music.  Finding the proper balance will increase your chances for success.

                                                     

INTERNET RADIO PROMOTIONS  

 

TMG Street Pride’s viral Radio campaign involves creating a “story” on artist music by garnering accumulative spins sufficient to chart the song in the Internet Source Charts.  The Charts are helpful, in that, they serve as a noteworthy testimony for other promotional apparatuses to pick-up the music.  It lends great support as main Radio and industry big-wicks look to see what activities are brewing on new Artists and their music.

 

TMG Street Pride is joined with the radio airplay monitoring technology of DigitalRadioTracker.com [DRT] that tracks radio airplay of songs in the US and worldwide on more than 5000+ radio stations.   DRT tracks thousands of streaming Internet Radio Stations to include selective Major FM Terrestrial, College, Commercial and Non-Commercial stations.  DRT’s customized technology monitors radio airplay of songs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year without any special encoding or fingerprinting requirements.

UPLINK

 

OUR RELATIONSHIP TO MAJORS

 

Major label executives are watchful of music that is independently “buzzing” in the market.  In today’s industry, most of the songs that are released by majors are acquired (uplink) from independent music entrepreneurs, artists and producers who often seek the help of experienced music operators like TMG Street Pride to push their music at Radio, on the Internet, with Print and PR, on the Streets with Videos and with the use of other tools of the trade.  Uplink qualifications entails positioning Artist’s songs whereby a “story” can be creative that is attractive enough to warrant the interest of major record executives to continue heightening Artist career.  With a collage of promotional tools, demand and sales can be created. Sales are one of the key components in uplink consideration.   TMG Street Pride has taken music of independents through major music giants as Warner Music Group, Universal, Red Sony, Epic, Mercury and Malaco Records. The ultimate goal is to “break” the Artist’s music, generate sales, and uplink Artist’s song(s) with use of major labels vast worldwide resources.
