Grooveshark

"We have found the Grooveshark format an invaluable piece of the puzzle in marketing and promoting our music. In a world where there are millions of bands all trying to be heard above the noise Grooveshark allows listeners to be exposed to new music based on the type of familiar genre that they are already listening too. The software exposes the listener to new music in that genre that they would never be exposed to normally, allows them to listen to and rate that new music and ultimately leads them to the bands website to purchase downloads and become fans. Thank you Grooveshark for allowing new talent to be exposed to the world."

"As an artist, Grooveshark has been my most valuable online resource by far. Since I began working with them, my online following and buzz has increased remarkably - I get more plays in a week now than I did in my whole career up to this point. My Facebook fanbase is growing faster than ever, Twitter followers are coming in by the truckload, and my online sales are almost five times what they used to be. The Grooveshark statistic system lets me see which types of listeners like which types of songs. The feedback I get is the next best thing to physically playing live shows and talking with fans. The staff is unparalleled when it comes to service, individual attention, communication (a rarity in the music world), and the fact that I know they genuinely love my music and want to push me to the next level. I love the site as an artist and a listener. Grooveshark is the real thing."

"A lot of musicians and especially labels are quick to hate on any platform that provides music for free. But for those of us who have really thought it through and actually used streaming sites like Grooveshark as a marketing tool, we know the benefits of being able to share our music with the masses, and that true fans still buy copies, and show up at shows. The feedback I've gotten from Grooveshark listeners has helped me incredibly."

"I've been involved with majors, big indies, small indies and everywhere in between. It's easy to say that the majors are evil and neglect you unless you sell a ton while smaller labels look out for you...but it isn't necessarily true. In my experience, neglect is something I've felt the effect of from all levels of the industry. Evan and Grooveshark has shown a passion for music and gone the extra mile because they are committed to their artists...it says a lot and him and the company in general."

"Grooveshark has been a great platform for me as an artist. Their site has given me the tools and analytics needed to reach new listeners who then become true fans... They have been very good to me and their service is impeccable!"

"My manager told me about Grooveshark, so I checked it and thought it was cool how they had their platform set up. We started working together last spring in 2010 and it has been great as they have helped me target my music to potential fans of mine. I have definitely seen more people on my music now especially in the college scene. I mean fans can go to Grooveshark, search music, start playing, add more music and even click the radio option that plays random songs based off the songs someone has heard, and discover new music, which is how many fans on grooveshark have found my music. #THANKYOUFORBEINGAFRIEND"

" .. After partnering with Grooveshark on a few different promotions, I started to see GS users mobilize on some of the great but unknown talent I work with, I felt an immediate reaction to the songs we were putting up as well as traffic from the GS listeners. Grooveshark is fantastic at getting the spotlight on bands that NEED to be listened to...."

"Within less than a month, my client Mat Musto hit over 80,000 spins on Grooveshark, helping his fan base grown exponentially. I have been working with Grooveshark for almost 4 years now, and they have never shown anything but professionalism and a commitment to helping the music community. With other companies continuously trying and failing to bring their streaming sites to the USA, Grooveshark has remained constant and try to its form. I recommend Grooveshark campaigns to all of my clients."

"Working with Grooveshark helped expose otherwise uniformed potential fans to Hoodie's music while providing us with superb analytics data that we were able to take advantage of. I can't tell you how many people have told us 'I never would've heard about you (Hoodie Allen) if it wasn't for Grooveshark!' Thank you!"

"Working as the label coordinator for a start-up indie label and as an artist manager as well, Grooveshark has proven to be a valuable ally to me and the artists I work with. They show a dedication and commitment to supporting talented independent artists and labels and helping them get the exposure they so dearly need to build a fanbase. Theirs is a rare service that I believe I sorely needed in the music business, and deserves everyones support; they've certainly earned mine.

"Grooveshark is the most artist friendly music service I've dealt with. Not only is the platform awesome, but these people truly care about artist development and helping listeners discover new music. As a small label, having Grooveshark get behind one of your bands is priceless."

"Grooveshark is everything I loved about the original Napster and more, because it's legal and here to stay!"

"Grooveshark has successfully turned even the most jaded industry people I know back into music fans, so I can only imagine what the platform does for the average listener"
