Best 5 reasons to fund music through Sellaband

By allowing music lovers to fund the tunes they want to hear, Sellaband is empowering music artists and fans to choose what gets published.  If you're a fan, Sellaband allows you to invest in independent musicians and bands, typically with some return on your investment. If you're an original band or solo artist Sellaband can help you get your project funded by the people who listen to your music and reward them for believing in you.

Sellaband was founded in 2006 because,

"The idea came from a love of music and the frustration of hearing the same artists always on the radio, while so many talented artists remain unnoticed by the traditional music industry. At that time a small and select group of people in the music industry were deciding which artists were allowed to record an album and what the rest of world had to listen to. On top of that, because of declining music sales, record labels were signing fewer and fewer new artists. The effect was that more and more artists were not able to record that album that they have in them, and music fans weren’t hearing the music they wanted to hear. So we decided to change this situation by leveling the playing field for both artists and fans. SellaBand gives all artists an equal opportunity to pursue a musical career, we are not the filter, it's the music fans who decide." (Sellaband Believer FAQs)
