Topspin to offer new service for grass roots artists
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 17 February 2011
US-based Topspin is entering the DIY end of the direct-to-fan market by offering a new low-cost option aimed at individual artists or bedroom labels.
Although a leading provider of digital tools to promote and sell music directly to fans over the net, Topspin has mainly sold its services to more established labels and artist managers to date. The new service, which will be both cheaper and, it is thought, easier to use, will put Topspin in the same market as more grass roots services like ReverbNation, Bandcamp and Music Glue.
Topsin has also announced a new competition to find the best direct-to-fan business model developed in the last year. The winner will get a five grand grant.
