FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York April-2-2010-The music industry is an ever-evolving business that has to adapt to the changing needs of its audience and the larger role online distribution has played in the past decade. It is easy for artists to slip through the cracks and lose out in attracting the audience they desire. Most artists are looking for a simpler way to get their music into the hands of the individuals who buy their music online. WavyTUNES, which can be found at the innovative hip-hop website HeyAZ.com, is the solution to that problem.

WavyTUNES is the brainchild of Quiet Money, Inc founder and President Anthony Cruz. Better known by his stage name AZ, Cruz has been a quiet sensation in the hip-hop community for years. His career highlights include appearing as the only featured rapper on Nas’s debut hip-hop classic Illmatic, being a member of the hip-hop super group The Firm, and releasing seven albums as a solo artist. AZ’s eighth album, Doe or Die 2, is set to be released summer of 2010.

Having traveled the globe and enjoying the blessings of being a successful rap artist, the Grammy-nominated entrepreneur understands the relationship between the artist, the fans, and the music. Cruz’s knowledge of the music industry rivals that of the most experienced record label CEO. With the advent of mobile and online music distribution becoming a dominant force, Cruz wanted to find a direct and easy way to bridge the gap between artist and audience.

WavyTUNES is the ultimate marketplace for instant mobile music sellers. Like any social network, WavyTUNES is only as valuable as the people who take advantage of its varied benefits. Once a member has registered for the service, they may choose to be a buyer, a seller, or both. The platform is designed to be instantly international and completely self-supporting. WavyTUNES is a great platform for performing arts students, independent artists, and for those mainstream artists that have gone into the expanding trend of self-distribution. Sellers can post albums and, should they choose to do so, upload preview clips that allow buyers to sample an album or track before they make a purchase.

For those using the site to buy music, the simplicity of the network’s design allows for a quicker, more interactive shopping experience. Using an advanced search engine, members can use filters such as artist name, genre, and country to narrow down their choices. After selecting an artist, buyers can decide to buy individual tracks, full albums, or video-based content. The buyer is also a vocal element of the WavyTUNES experience, shaping the future of the site. Members can leave ratings and comments on any album or track on WavyTUNES. These ratings will be used to help other members and visitors find the best albums therefore allowing the site to be an expressive and lively experience.

Access, simplification, and instant gratification for an audience craving the musical variety from around the globe are the foundations of WavyTUNES. In this fast-paced, here today/gone tomorrow world, it is easy for most artists to get lost in a crowded market bursting at the seams. WavyTUNES provides the platform for an artist to expose his music to a larger market and connect with new fans. Anthony “AZ” Cruz merges his experience as an artist and entrepreneur into his desire to get music into the ears of those who seek it out. Like all musicians, Cruz was a fan first and that love of music shaped him as an artist. WavyTUNES is where the love of the fan and the passion of the artist merge. Like anything Cruz does, WavyTUNES is not limited to simple classification. WavyTUNES is more than a mobile and online music distribution website… it’s a revolution!
