YouTube Announces 'Musicians Wanted' Campaign
YouTube recently announced at the SXSW conference the release of their latest partnership program entitled 'Musicians Wanted'. The campaign encourages U.S. based Independent musicians to register for the program and showcase their music and videos on YouTube which may lead to potentially making money from the exposure.
The announcement on the YouTube blog reads: "We're inviting thousands of artists who made the trek to Texas -- and the rest of you accomplished musicians at home -- to apply today. If accepted, you'll join stars like ukulele songstress Julia Nunes, singer-songwriter David Choi and many others who, as partners, are able to make some money from their YouTube videos. Here's multi-instrumentalist and YouTube musician extraordinaire Jack Conte and songstress Nataly Dawn (aka Pomplamoose) to tell you more: https://www.youtube.com/v/fnolku2sJc4"
"We've also got a few words from our most recent YPP Music partner. You may have heard of them - they're a little band with a viral hit or two and recently made headlines by splitting from their label. As OK Go's Damian Kulash puts it "YouTube has always been a great match for OK Go - creativity flourishes and we can connect directly with our fans. So when we heard about Musicians Wanted, it was a no-brainer: it sounds great for us. We're honored and excited to be the first applicants. We can't wait to get new videos up on our channel."
