Google recently shocked both the tech world and the music industry with the launch of Google Music, basically a cloud version of iTunes which allows you to keep your music in the cloud as well as purchase music throught he Google powered Android Marketplace. We all knew this was in the works for google but the big surprise for me came with their ease of integration with the indie artist with the new Google Music Artist Hub. From inception the Google Music program includes allowing ANY artist to create their own page/profile, upload your music to Google, and begin selling music through the Google Music app and Android store. The service also allows artists options such as setting their own price for songs (a la Bandcamp) as well as other features and I’m sure many more to come.
Anyways as we all know Google is the powerhouse of the tech industry so it will definitely be a good idea to start early and get your music listed on the service! Here at NewIndustryTips we encourage you to take advantage of every outlet, big or small to expose your music to the maximum potential audience, but this service will surely be a top contender in the long run so it is more important than ever to become an early adopter!
