Custom Music Compilation Projects
Music can reach people in ways that no other medium can while delivering messages that create emotion, inspiration and understanding for an organization's mission.
In addition to our cooperative programs, Musicians for a Cause provides custom compilations themed to a specific organization's mission. These compilations are used in awareness campaigns and fundraising efforts and are available as CDs and also as digital downloads.
Custom compilations deliver unique songs with messages directly in support of your effort - bringing life to your cause. This ensures that every time someone hears a song on their mp3 player or a CD, they think of your organization. All songs also include the artist inspiration notes to create an even deeper connection with the listener. It's not enough to just communicate your mission - to truly engage supporters you need to develop an emotional bond, and music helps to accomplish that. Using music is a great way to create community awareness and projects can be funded through corporate and private sponsorships.
Our custom music compilations are created by reaching out to a network of over 400,000 songwriters and musicians through an international competition to produce the most compelling combination of songs we can find - songs that tug at heart strings and create a bond between the listener and your organization. Most of the songs come from independent artists, and in many cases it's the same artists who songs are considered for today's TV shows and movie productions. On a selective basis, based on the size and scope of the project, we'll also reach out to some established artists to participate.
People are much more likely to listen to songs that reflect your mission than read your website or brochure. When they're combined with video or a slide show they're very effective at communicating your mission with the emotion that will inspire people to make a call to volunteer or contribute in some way, and we all know that after they do it once, they'll do it more often.
A custom music compilation has many direct benefits:
* Creates awareness and compassion for your organization through music
* Creates an emotional bond between your organization and its supporters for years to come
* Provides songs you can use in video/slide presentations for awareness campaigns
* Provides content for social media pages, websites, newsletters, events, etc.
* Raises funds to support your organization's mission
* Helps with donor development for future campaigns by capturing information on each purchase
* Helps independent/grassroots musicians find an outlet and recognition for their work
* Helps participating sponsors generate good-will for their businesses
The value of independent artists
There are lots of incredibly talented independent artists who write amazing songs that most people never hear - commercial success is limited to very few! Leveraging the independent artist talent is what many major networks, movie producers, and companies are now focusing on because they recognize that they can get more selection, simplified licensing and reasonable licensing fees. There are many benefits to working with independent artists:
* Independent artists are more focused on expressing themselves through music. They don't have record companies driving them to record commercial material so they write from their heart and have more cause-related songs.
* Independent artists typically own their licensing rights where established artist songs are usually controlled by publishing and record companies. This allows us to manage the licensing more efficiently.
* Most established artists focus on songs that will get radio exposure - that's how they make a living. There's nothing wrong with that, but most cause-related songs don't get much airplay, so there aren't many cause-related songs from established artists. Also, songs that have had radio exposure are instinctively associated with the artist, not your cause.
