Here is the latest scoop on the Office meeting a few weeks ago, where Touch Music Group CEO Will Wilson said to the team;
"In order to reach the world with our music, and to provide better marketing and branding, we have to offer more in every marketing catagorie for our Artists, Writers, Musicians and Composers. They need stronger exposure and awarness for thier songs to move in the general public, faster and better. This takes more financial extention and a bigger Corporate purse.
That brings us to how the last few years have changed the business of music and how you recoup for the sale, licensing and performance use of your music around the world. The world is now about Catalog. I had to sit down and a talk with our chief music officer, Scott Oliver. We discussed purpose and direction for the company as always, but we also thought, if were going to compete in todays market, and become a strong brand in the industry, we have to stack our warehouse, we have to have a much larger catalog of music, NOW.
There's always the need to stack merchandise and paraphernalia for people to buy, but in this case we were referring to our digital catalog. So needless to say our discussion brought us to a goal of 1,000 tracks, ASAP. So the first thing we did was contact each of you TMG roster members."
Two weeks later, Will had a talk with the team again, saying; "So now that we have discussed this with each of you, and listed all those that want to participate, we can proceed with beginning the process."
"Our Goal and How were going to do it is like this. We know we've established 10 members that are available, each will create 36 songs for TMG to release. This could turn out to be a huge task but without a doubt it will be worthwhile. So now we do the math, 10 X 36 = 360 songs, each of these will have at least one remix, that would give us another 360 songs, which would put us at 720 tracks. That alone, almost gets us there, we could achieve this in a matter of 6 months, with diligence. Of course the releases of these tracks would be spread out over a few years, but, when your purpose driven in a kingdom minded task, God be willing, obtaining your goals are just a matter of time."
