Support Independent Artists on Kazaa
Peer-to-peer technology is revolutionizing the way music is distributed. Ten Mile Tide, a six-piece band that used Kazaa as a tool to create a global audience for their music, is living proof. To date, Kazaa users around the world have downloaded and shared 10 million Ten Mile Tide songs. The band has launched a second album, quit their day jobs, and started a national tour.
With so many talented artists (even those that have backing from the record labels) never achieving the success they deserve, distribution channels like Kazaa offer an additional outlet for bands to promote and sell their music. Ten Mile Tide is a prime example of a band that has never had a recording contract but has achieved international success thanks to Kazaa.
The success of Ten Mile Tide and Kazaa shows the incredible possibility and opportunity for artists and peer-to-peer networks.
