Music Independence Summit Conference relaunches Web site

It is fair to say the music industry has never been the easiest thing to break into. But with so many bands and artists out there, and so many ways to try to reach the market, the choices and challenges facing the newcomer can be bewildering.

That is where the Music Independence Summit Conference (MISC) comes into its own. MISC is a resource and promotions site for independent artists who want to stay independent but don't want it to be an impediment to success.

A staggering 32% of Americans consider themselves artists in some way, shape or form, and MISC is the tool that can unlock their potential. It can help them make the most of the potentially vital marketing tool that is the Internet and teach them to take true ownership of their craft.

The relaunched, redesigned and much improved MISC website is something which no one serious about making it in this game can be without. The site supplies how-to articles, videos, news and details of events for the indie music community. It is a way for people to meet like-minded artists and find out about crucial network events, seminars, contests and unique promotional opportunities.

But MISC is a whole lot more than just a musician's notice board. The organisation runs successful events for independent music professionals all across the United States. Having branched out from New York to host events in Massachusetts, Colorado and beyond, the MISC family is growing.

In addition to the site, MISC has its own online TV station, featuring the latest industry news and views, while also providing a chance for members to promote their music and interact with expert hosts and guests on hand to provide vital advice for the aspiring indie star.

And where does all this expertise come from? MISC is not just some fly-by-night new media start-up brand. It is a project run by founder Jimmy “CL” Newson, whose credentials in the music industry are second to none.

Jimmy has spent 17 years working in all aspects of the business. He is a musician, music and video producer and has worked in marketing and promotion for organisations all over the world. He has connections across the business, from TV and radio stations to record labels to universities, schools and colleges.

Now he has taken this wealth of experience to begin a project that is set to be an essential tool for anyone who wants to be anyone in independent music. If you are serious about making it in the music industry, you cannot afford not to be a part of the MISC revolution.
