I am a songwriter and composer and was wondering if there are any fellow writers/musicians here. I have thought about offering to provide music for use on web-sites and was wondering if paysites make use of music files. I have read a couple threads where people are looking to license music and have been directed to sites which provide royalty free loops, a number of which are fully produced instrumentals that will do the trick and they are relatively cheap (e.g., $25.00 or so).
I can provide the same kinds of music for a competitive price, including both instrumentals and fully produced songs with vocals in a number of different genres, including pop, rock, country, classical, and world music. I can also do other genres but the ones mentioned above are the ones I write best in.
I am toying with the idea of starting my own label and publishing company and setting up an affiliate program which will allow web-masters to stream my music on their sites for free and make money by referring surfers, the same way that sponsors allow you to use free content to promote their sites.
Do you think that a program like this might be something web-masters would be interested in using?
If you are a writer/musician, have you licensed any of your songs to web sites? What genres do you write in?
Here are a couple examples of my work
