A Place Where You Speak Loud with Your Beat

May 22, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

“Beatsomeone”, a music distribution platform based on Blockchain technology.

“Did you know that the BTS song “Dynamite” was made by a non-famous songwriter from the United Kingdom?” Like this example, there are a lot of composers who have great skill but are not so well-known. “Our goal is to make these composer’s songs famous worldwide. Currently, we are only doing this to Korean POP(K-POP), but our ultimate goal is to introduce the world’s local music as well. Making our company into a global music content distributor.”

Music is now essential to modern people. A device needed to listen to any kind of music from anywhere is a smartphone. This is the first time in history when music is located this deep into our lives. A lot of modern people are starting and finishing their daily routine with music. A few years ago, many TV shows about music are dominating broadcasting trends, too. An audition competition program like “American Idol” is giving huge influence on public media trends. As a result, an interest in “creating” music is getting higher as well.

“Beatsomeone” is a music distribution platform based on Blockchain technology. In here the 1st step creator and 2nd step creator, buy and sell their beats. It is the foundation of a song. The beat is a basic step of the instrumental. In the past, a single person was making the entire song. Nowadays, experts of each process of making music are working together to complete a song, so these kinds of platforms are highlighted.

“Beatsomeone” connects musicians all around the world with their platform. We interviewed Yong-Hwan Kim(38), CEO of Beatsomeone, located in Seoul, South Korea.

Blockchain, solution for music piracy
Before Kim establishes his own company, he worked for Korea’s leading entertainment agencies, such as YG entertainment, IHQ, Cube entertainment for 12 years. His role in those companies was to discover new ways to generate profits, other than traditional media like TV, advertisement, concerts, etc. Then he went to a company named Womanstock, an online beauty shopping taking a role as Strategy Manager. With his success, he suddenly decided to build his own business about music by himself.

“I accomplished a lot, while I was working for the team. However, I always had a desire for myself that I did not do any business for myself. When I accomplished something on behalf of my company, I was not satisfied. Wondering “Can I do this by myself?”, I decided to start something before it is too late to do music source business,” Yong-Hwan Kim said.

Beatsomeone is an ICT platform based on Blockchain technology. Its service makes people buy and sell their music sources all around the world. People selling and buying their music sources on this platform are creators like beatmakers, composers, producers, and musicians.

People in need like rappers, musicians, artists can buy beats on this platform as well, to create another value of it.

Film producers, Game developers, Youtubers are constructing partnerships with Beatsomeone, those are all music consumers. Nowadays webtoons (internet comics) are being made into movies, and Youtube playlist exclusive songs are getting famous too, enriching Beatsomeone’s target market bigger.

“Korea is not familiar with buying & selling music sources like beats, but its market is getting bigger globally, making more than $180 billion and Europe are building a solid market for music source transactions. Until 3 years ago, the United States was ranked #7 of all countries that consuming K-POPs, but now it is the second-largest market in the world, grew more than 700%. This is the reason why I thought this is the perfect time for us to make K-POP more famous worldwide by targeting the U.S. market,” he said.

The music trend is rapidly changing these days, so are the composing methods. Single composers spent a lot of time by themselves to make one song playable, but now it is different. Genres like Hip-Hop, Dance, EDM artists are buying songs for themselves, edit the song/beat with their own musical inspirations to compose a new song.

“Since we distribute music according to this demand, we sell it including copyright. Of course, we offer it as a lease for members who only need it for a short period of time.”

Wondering, why are they paying attention to blockchain technology? In response, he said it was an alternative to piracy that would appear when music was released online. After taking advice from various people, including current producers and musicians, he planned the platform and conducted surveys.

“The beat is not a complete music source. Therefore, it is difficult to register with the Music Copyright Association. After registering, there is a lot of paperwork left. So I thought a lot about how to solve this problem. And the solution we found is blockchain technology,” he said.

To explain the principle, tokens are created in the blockchain when producers register their music sources. Therefore, all activities, distribution contents, and settlement details of the music source are stored, encrypted recorded transparently.

“Beatsomeone has the highest level of technology among Korean competitors. It does not lag behind its global competitors. Nowadays NFT(Non-Fungible Token) is getting interested, and we have blockchain technology to specialize NFT to music market aspect. Seriously communicating with co-operators.”

Ultimate goal is to distribute all local music worldwide
Wondered what is his biggest concern while running his company.
“I am thinking the most about branding and market position in Korea.” He said,
Since It is not easy to convert markets that remain in the existing offline distribution system online.

“I think it is important to improve awareness and persuade. Fortunately, many people think positively about Beatsomeone. So, I expect to grow a lot this year.”

High growth is already proved. Beatsomeone Corp. was selected as the 11th core start-up program of Korea SMEs and Startups Agency. It was selected for the second consecutive year following the 10th program.

“I am grateful to the judges for their appreciation. Our biggest advantage is that we can start aggressive businesses using the infrastructure of our internal team members. Another strength is that there is no similar platform with a high share in Korea. This year, we received high praise for our technological advancements.”

It also supports musicians. Beatsomeone held an award ceremony for beatmakers at the end of last year. Beatmakers contribute greatly to the development of public music, but have been alienated from events such as awards ceremonies. He said he plans to use the award ceremony to find and support talented beatmakers.

“Even though, a job named beatmaker has become slightly known through music programs such as ‘Show me The Money’, they still receive low attention. I held an award ceremony at the end of last year since I wanted to create an award ceremony for these beatmakers. Thankfully, KOCCA and NAVER OGQ supported this ceremony and awarded 20 beatmakers successfully.”

Asked him about his future goals. He said he wants to go beyond K-pop and ultimately distribute local music from all over the world. Through this, his goal is to grow into a global content distribution company.

“The short-term goal is to have many members selling beats. This is because more sellers will increase the number of their music. We are preparing to distribute not only beats but also finished instrumentals. Since instrumental is a finished song, we are also preparing a system to match buyers.”

Finally, he said he was in the process of partnering with companies to secure long-term demand. He also wants to enter into partnerships with companies in many countries around the world.

“Currently, we are strategically contracting with companies from various countries, including German artificial intelligence (AI) music technology company, American animation producer, and Japanese music distributor. In addition, we received seed investments last year and are focusing on attracting investors. As a result, the goal is to connect music lovers all around the world.”

Announcing the Launch of Air Tap Drums, an Innovative Digital Drum Set that Turns People Into Instant Musicians

May 7, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

James Spencer is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of Air Tap Drums, a futuristic digital drum set that will turn people into any famous legendary drummer they wish.

As a spokesperson for Air Tap Drums noted, Spencer knows that while many people dream about playing the drums, they may not have the coordination to play or the time and money to take lessons.

This knowledge inspired Spencer to create Air Tap Drums, a digital drum set that will turn anyone, anywhere into an instant musician-all without the physical demands, huge learning curve and years of practice.

“James is out to change the world of how people perceive and approach playing the drums,” the spokesperson noted, adding that Air Tap Drums is currently the subject of a fundraiser on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter.

“Air Tap Drums will do this through its patent-pending secret ‘splitting audio atoms’ formula complied into a one-of-a-kind drum machine system.”

To use Air Tap Drums, players simply have to tap on the different colored sections of the drum-head screens; this will cause it to let out real acoustic drum set sound that is fully capturable.

While traditional drum machines and electronic drum set sound-banks tend to have an unrealistic sound, Air Tap Drums and its digital output will be virtually impossible to differentiate from actual drums.

Musicians can bring their Air Tap Drums into the recording studio if they wish, the spokesperson said. Also, budding musicians at home can use the customizable packs to take the drum kick of Def Leppard, mix it with another band’s snare drum and then add in the toms of Van Halen’s “Jump,” thus creating their own unique pack.

Air Tap Drums will be idea for people of all ages and skill levels, the spokesperson noted, including those who enjoy playing the video game “Guitar Hero.”

“With its light screens that can be tapped and drum packs that are magical when compared to anything else on the market, Air Tap Drums is set to change the world of drumming forever,” the spokesperson said.

About Air Tap Drums:

Air Tap Drums, a new digital drum set, is designed to change the way people perceive and approach playing the drums. The innovative system can turn anyone into an instant musician without years of lessons.

Sun of Man Releases “Days of Doom” Worldwide

April 17, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

Indie metal band proves rock is not dead with its recent global offering.

Heavy metal band, Sun of Man, recently released, “Days of Doom”, through US-based label White Lion Audio and Sony Orchard.

“Days of Doom” is a brand new high-octane metal track that is a must-have addition to any metal music library. This track features Tylor Raffa – Vocals, Bass Guitar; Joe Chamalke – Drums; Brent Saik – Guitar, Vocals; and John Davidson – Guitar.

Listen to Days of Doom

Sun of Man is an Edmonton-based hard rock band founded in 1998. Their music is based on heavy groove with roaring vocals, melodic guitar riffs, and haunting lyrics mixed with odd time signatures and tempo changes, (sometimes all in one song)! Their sound has been described as Godsmack sings Tool. They released a full-length album in 2001 and are in the process of recording a second one.

Their music keeps evolving towards a more progressive and post-rock sound. Sun of Man is a solid metal band and their loyal fans describe them as “heavy” and “doomesque” while remaining ethereal and sunny..a hard combination to pull off, but the band does this flawlessly.

Their latest single, launched in a soon-to-be post-COVID world, is a breath of fresh air for their fans and the beginning of greater things for these indie music revolutionaries.

A New Way to Fund the Cancer Fight

February 13, 2021 (Global News Distribution) -

The fight for cancer has been something the world has been dealing with for centuries. While scientists have found ways to combat it, for example chemotherapy, there isn’t a definitive cure. There are many innovators trying to come up with new treatments, solutions and cures for cancer, but the number one thing they face is the lack of funds necessary to do this. Music Beats Cancer, formerly known as Sound Affects, is a charitable (501c3) crowdfunding platform created with the intentions of helping these innovators access badly needed funds through the charitable donations of the crowd. Music Beats Cancer strategically partners with emerging musical artists to help raise funds and awareness.

WHAT IS Music Beats Cancer?

Dr. Mona Jhaveri, Founder and Director of Music Beats Cancer, started her career as a cancer researcher and moved into the biotech industry where she quickly realized that fundraising is extremely difficult, if not impossible over time. After receiving her doctoral degree in biochemistry, she went on to do postdoctoral training at the National Cancer Institute(NCI) where she made a discovery in the lab that could help treat ovarian cancer, one of the deadliest cancers for women worldwide. After accessing the patent rights to the technology from the NCI, she launched a biotech start-up company, Foligo Therapeutics Inc., as an effort to continue developing the technology. Over time, fundraising for Foligo became extremely difficult and the company, along with its technology for fighting ovarian cancer, succumbed to the ”Valley of Death” – A metaphorical place where great ideas go to die because they lack the critical funds to move forward. As a consequence, the Valley of Death impedes progress in reducing the enormous cancer burden the world is facing today, yet the public is unaware. This loss of Foligo, inspired Dr. Jhaveri to launch Music Beats Cancer as a way to support biotech entrepreneurs who are working on cancer-fighting technologies that are at risk of disappearing into the Valley of Death simply because they lack the needed funds.

HOW DOES MUSIC BEATS CANCER DIFFER?

Music Beats Cancer is unlike other traditional cancer charities because it specifically supports biotech entrepreneurs who have launched start-ups to advance worthy cancer-fighting ideas, rather than academic researchers who conduct R&D at academic laboratories. The Music Beats Cancer model is crowdfunding. In this instance, donors give directly to a cancer-fighting campaign they care about. In return, donors receive quarterly updates on the progress of the campaign from the entrepreneurs they supported. This is in contrast to grant-making models where committees decide where money is donated, but are not tasked to share outcomes of the supported research with the donors. Music Beats Cancer believes that this distinction is important in our new world where choice and transparency is highly valued. The long vision of Music Beats Cancer is to become the public’s “go-to” cancer charity, where the public can support and learn about cutting edge treatments innovators are working on all over the world in the fight against cancer.

HOW CAN PEOPLE GET INVOLVED?

Please check out the Music Beats Cancer website and if you feel compelled, make a donation to an active cancer-fighting campaign that inspires you. Also, please do follow us on social media, sign up for our newsletter and stay tuned for future Music Beats Cancer concert events. Note: Monies raised from Music Beats Cancer partnered artists support our Community Mega Fund, a fund dedicated to matching the crowd, dollar for dollar.
