Why did we create this website?
Many artists don't know where to start when it comes to getting heard:
-
• TV talent shows such as Got Talent, The Voice, American Idol, etc. are saturated due to the large number of artists who want to take part.
-
• Social media is a good starting point for getting discovered, but it isn't really suited to music creation, as it often requires daily posting, while making music takes a lot of time.
-
• Traditional promotion requires a significant budget and generally works best for already established artists with a label. It's hard to imagine someone spending all their savings to promote their very first song.
In summary:
We have observed that in today's landscape, there is a lack of a platform that is accessible to everyone, fair, and gives every musician the same opportunity, from their very first recording in their bedroom to the one that could make them a global star, through dozens or even hundreds of recordings in their home studio.
Non-Stop Music Contest:
We believe that a platform with an integrated music contest could address the problem in the following ways:
-
• Guarantee visibility for every artist through the contest
-
• Highlight the most accomplished songs (those that win the contest).
MyMusicBattles.com
Battles:
-
• Each artist uploads their song whenever they want.
-
• Any logged-in user is presented with a battle (two songs side by side) and, after a brief listen, votes for their preferred track.
-
• Once a song has participated in 100 battles, it enters the rankings with a score based on the percentage of battles it has won (20%, 30%, 70%, etc.).
-
• Rewards: Songs with a score of 65% or higher will be featured in the homepage playlist for at least one year, offering a strong opportunity to be discovered by site visitors.
Coins:
To encourage voting, you can earn up to 2 coins for each vote in battles.
-
• If you have active coins, your profile may be regularly featured on the homepage (another chance to get discovered).
-
• If you have at least 100 coins, you can use them to speed up your participation in battles.
-
• Please note: coins are valid for 30 days.
-
• You can enable a reminder to receive an email notification when your coins expire.
Public Voting:
-
• Artists who want to involve friends and family can ask them to vote directly for their song (outside of battles).
-
• These votes can boost your final score by up to 30%.
-
• With 10 public votes, you gain direct access to the battles.
-
• No account is required to vote.
