Chapel Hill, NC (PRWEB) November 13, 2007 -- KnowtheMusicBiz.com (www.KnowTheMusicBiz.com), a division of Kudzu Media Group, Inc. today announced the launch of its innovative, online community and resource center for emerging artists, musicians, songwriters and music executives.

The site provides aggregated, as well as community generated content about the music industry plus advice and insight from industry thought leaders. Key content features include a Biz Wiki (http://www.knowthemusicbiz.com/index.php/BIZ-WIKI/Introduction.html) for the music business that offers important information across all music genres about the workings of the industry. Sections of the Biz Wiki include Digital Media, Distribution, Management, Publishing, Manufacturing, Publicity and Promotions, Licenses and Royalties, Touring, Merchandising, Record Labels, and Recording Contracts. In addition, KnowTheMusicBiz.com offers Biz Blogs (http://www.knowthemusicbiz.com/index.php/BIZ-BLOG.html) written by musicians and industry thought leaders, interactive Community forums, DIY tips (http://www.knowthemusicbiz.com/index.php/D.I.Y.-Tips/Introduction.html) with links and member posts, an extensive online Resource center (http://www.knowthemusicbiz.com/index.php/RESOURCES/list/onecat/RESOURCES/0.html), as well as News and Opinions (http://www.knowthemusicbiz.com/index.php/Empty-Content.html) from industry publications and blogs.
"In this exciting era of powerful technology, distribution and licensing options now being widely accessible there is still a tremendous need for information about how the industry works and a way to aggregate the very best of the information available on the web" said David Rose, Founder of KnowTheMusicBiz.com. "The goal of our community is to help those interested in the music business navigate the rapidly changing industry and technology options available to build a sustainable career."
KnowTheMusicBiz.com is completely free to users and supported through sponsorships and ads. It offers sponsors two options - Community sponsorships and Topic sponsorships. Community sponsorships feature the sponsor on the homepage and landing page of each main section of the site. Topic sponsorships feature the sponsors where content on their topic is displayed on the site, for example, distribution or publishing and more. At launch, key sponsors include Pabst Brewing Company and Redeye Distribution.
In addition, KnowtheMusicBiz.com features guest blogs from industry thought leaders. The first series of industry guest blogs include musician and actor John Doe, Kristin Thomson, Deputy Director of the Future of Music Coalition and entertainment attorney John P. Strohm.

"KnowTheMusicBiz.com should be of great assistance to today's artists as they navigate the often treacherous waters of the music industry. As technologies and business models continue to evolve, musicians routinely find themselves confronted with complicated issues at the intersection of music, law, technology and policy. Here's to helping musicians take care of their own business in the most informed manner possible," Kristin Thomson, Deputy Director of the Future Music Coalition.
