Christian Accompaniment Tracks Site New Launch May 2016

ChristianAccompanimenttracks.org is a new service providing Christian karaoke-style music for soloists and churches. Newly launched in May 2016, the public will have instant access to purchase and download material to use at-will.

Music has been an integral part of most services of worship since the beginning foundations of the church since Peter was appointed to do so in biblical times. Most churches struggle to fulfill this need through employing a music staff, but the economic burden can often times become too great.

The site looks to fulfill a void of available musicians for live performance situations, such as weddings, banquets, and other venues. Most often, an individual artists may not have access to funds to compensate musicians for their time. This e-commerce site will allow customers to create a user profile to search for artists in all categories of Christian music such as, but not limited to:
- praise and worship
- quartet songs
- contemporary christian
- southern gospel
- invitational selections
- communion hymns

A customer simply needs to have a reliable internet connection to download their product, where a song can be burned to CD or played from a digital device using an auxillary cable. If a potential customer does not find the selection desired, the site provides a service of creating a studio version, in the likeness of the original song and artist. This service will be available for a $75 fee, which takes approximately 4-5 days to create, depending on the current workload.

The new music production site can be found at http://www.christianaccompanimenttracks.org, or reach out to the customer service line at (832) 856-1913.

Bandzoogle, a website builder for bands and musicians, has released a new set of design customization tools that make it easier than ever for independent artists to create a stunning, professional-looking website and music store that matches their music, without hiring a web designer.

At the core of the release is upgraded technology that gives Bandzoogle members precise control over the look of each page element when building their websites, using an intuitive Theme Designer customization menu and preview window. Musicians can now see their website come to life in real-time, without worrying about technical details.

"Our new Theme Designer is a direct response to what our members have been asking us for: more control over the design of their websites," said Bandzoogle founder Chris Vinson. "We think we've hit the mark by offering tremendous new design flexibility without compromising on the ease-of-use that our members have come to expect from Bandzoogle."

From background colors, to the height of the header area, to the opacity of the navigation menu, musicians have the freedom to apply their creative vision to their websites on-the-fly, down to the smallest detail. The user-friendly technology guarantees that any design choice will automatically be made mobile-responsive, so that it looks perfect on any screen size, device or browser.

"It's great for musicians because we can make a website ourselves, that looks and feels like our own, without a designer."

Bandzoogle's update also includes the ability to save customizations as drafts, which gives musicians the chance to show their designs to friends and bandmates before publishing. They can even save multiple versions and easily switch between custom drafts or pre-designed themes, without losing their website content or customization work.

All of Bandzoogle's 15 most popular music templates are now fully customizable, and each has its own unique set of powerful design options. With the new Theme Designer in place, the company expects to release all-new customizable website themes in the coming months.

Brand New Talent Platform Perform-ers Set To Discover The Stars Of The Future

Perform-ers is a new platform for creative people who can set up an online profile to promote their music and art and enter global competitions. These competitions will not only enable artists to gain amazing prizes but they will also use part of their revenues to give to charities!

In a world where the DIY approach to promoting one's artistic careers is more common than ever before, Perform-ers offers a platform for global talent to unite and get heard and seen. In the 21st century, promotion through digital spaces is the number one component of a successful campaign. This kind of approach has made the rise of contemporary superstars such as Justin Bieber or Ed Sheeran possible.

Instead of having to use multiple websites to upload profiles, videos and audio files Perform-ers offers a centralised version of all those platforms combined in one. On the website, the audience will not only be able to engage with the artist but can support them by purchasing their music or voting for them in various competitions.

Apart from those weekly media contests, talent searches for singers, models, DJs and the like will be held as well.

With Perform-ers, the chance to be tomorrow's new superstar is imminent!

Unlike the X Factor it gives artists complete control over their creative outcome and instead of relying on just a few different judges, the whole world will have a say and give you a real idea how receptive people actually are to what you offer!

Perform-ers Founder Eric Krammer explains: 'There are so many talented young people out there, they deserve to become a voice and follow their dreams. Performers should be a place where we connect, create and give to others who need help'

Perform-ers is an amalgamation of artists from around the world that allows outstanding talent to be filtered out through competitions and interaction with their audience. In order to reach as many people as possible, the website will be available in English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Czech and Polish versions.

What makes Perform-ers different from other artist platforms is a worldview that does not only focus on gaining maximum exposure for the musicians and artists but also use the money that is made through competitions to help those in need by supporting charities. For each time you enter a contest, there will be a $1.99 upload fee of which 20c will go directly to sponsored charities while 50c will go into the cash pool from which the cash prizes derive.

If you're an artist who wants to get out there and be part of a global collective that focuses on more than one good cause then simply follow Perform-ers' formula:

CREATE + WIN PRICES = HELP CHARITIES

IQzic Music Discovery Platform Now Open To All

Following a successful beta period, IQzic, innovators committed to connecting the music world, have opened their Phase I music discovery platform to the general public. Phase I of the IQzic platform not only allows members to competitively discover music videos across 40 genres, but also recognizes those members who best predict music trends. The result yields well curated playlists and an organic community of influencers.

"In beta we found music fans using the platform in fun and unexpected ways. We saw a healthy balance between discoveries for communal benefit versus private exploration, affirming that motivations for finding new music differs." said Jim Hodson, Founder and FanZero of IQzic. "Knowing one's Music IQ is being calculated daily, motivates fans to scan tunes quickly using custom IQzic filters and player tools to identify emerging music worthy of attaching their name to. --It's a win-win for everyone."

Phase II of IQzic will introduce additional incentives while also allowing listeners to financially support artists early in the creation process. The novel concept of coupling artist and fan success cultivates a music ecosystem wherein relationships actually matter. "When creating IQzic, we wanted anyone who enjoys music to be able to share in its success and have something to show for it." said Hodson.

IQzic is free. The general public can view the leaderboards or sign in to get behind the next great tune emerging at http://iqzic.com. IQzic plans to release Phase II later this year.

About IQ Holdings LLC dba IQzic: IQzic was founded in 2014 with a mission to enable more artists to create great music with those who believe in them most. The idea was born during a pool party thrown for a local independent singer, when founder Jim Hodson overheard to several sophisticated investors bragging about their stock market winners, but had no convenient way to show who got in first. The conversation later transitioned to music with the same result. With previous experience in markets and decision theory, IQzic was created with the belief that the fan-artist connection has mutual value that transcends a monetary transaction, and can be structured to greater benefit the artist and the fan.
