Deuce Management & Promotion has recently collaborated with SellaBand; a crowd funding community where music fans can invest in your music.
Since its launch in 2006 Sellaband, has helped 80 bands and artists raise funds to finance the first steps in their career, with more than $5,000,000 invested in them at present. Artists retain complete ownership of their works created, have complete creative freedom, and have the flexibility to determine which incentives you can offer to fans who fund them, which can range to anything from a free download to a private gig at your fan’s own home.
Artists using SellaBand are free to work with whoever they like but one of the strengths of SellaBand is their ability to connect artists with top class producers and other people within the music business. Producers who have worked on SellaBand albums include Tony Platt (AC/DC, Bob Marley), Attie Bauw (Scorpions, Judas Priest), Peter Denenberg (Spin Doctors, Deep Purple), Steve Bush (Stereophonics, Corinne Bailey Rae), Mick Glossop (Van Morrison, Waterboys), Malcolm Burn (Patti Smith, Emmylou Harris) and Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers, Super Furry Animals). Success stories include Public Enemy raising $75,000 and Electric Eel Shock raising $50,000 in 2 months which lead to a deal with Universal Music Japan.
