Three influential U.S. music marketing and promotional companies have
come together to provide indie artists a vast array of personalized
marketing and consulting services.

MusicDish, Inside the Music Business (sm) and Serchlite Music have
announced the Music Consulting & Marketing Collective (MCMC) - a full
marketing and promotional service providing a new arsenal of cutting-
edge offerings and avenues for indie artists looking to break into the
music industry.

MCMC is designed to offer a new voice for emerging artists seeking
access by developing a substantial suite of hands-on consulting and
content-based marketing products and services. Each partnering company
will bring their respective specializations under the joint venture,
providing an unparalleled foundation of more than 40 years of music
industry experience.

"While many labels and artists often lack the supporting marketing and
on-hand expertise necessary to succeed in one of the most competitive
music markets in the world," noted MusicDish president Eric de
Fontenay. "The combined assets being assembled through MCMC provide a
comprehensive solution for international artists by tapping into a
network of leading music industry professionals as well as offering a
comprehensive marketing package."

MCMC will integrate all its collective resources to provide access to
leading industry professionals, including attorneys, producers, A&R
reps, distributors as well as cutting edge marketing - exposing the
artist to an international base of industry power players and music
fans. On the marketing side of the equation, MCMC will combine
promotional opportunities through mobile, online, video, television
and radio to impact its clients' careers in a tangible, measurable
way.

"With our collective reach, relationships, experience and desire to
help the next generation of musicians, I believe MCMC will quickly
become the 'go to' place for artists who are committed to getting to
that next level because our focus is about providing tangible, usable
feedback along with result-driven marketing, says Eric Kline, producer/
director and founder of the Inside the Music Business brand of
products and services. "I'm really excited about joining forces with
Serchlite Music and the Music Dish Network, two companies that I have
tremendous respect for and who continually make things happen for
artists - a tall order in today's changing music business climate."

"The Music Consulting and Marketing Collective is a new and exciting
venture for Serchlite and I share a vision of representing and
connecting with the independent artist, the hip-hop culture and the
community in an honest and responsible way," says CC Carnie. "This
partnership with Inside the Music Business and Music Dish is a natural
business pairing. I look forward to sharing ideas and breaking new
ground once again in a new area. We are not looking to just have
another marketing company, we are looking to perfect our relationship
with indie artist and the music consumer."
