USE MPS AS THE PROMOTIONAL ENGINE BEHIND YOUR SONGS.
To be clear, this is not a talent show or contest; this is a sport.
Every song you compete with is the equivalent of releasing a new single. The difference is you're releasing your music through competitive online games that allow fans, judges, and the marketplace to engage with your song in a completely new way.
As an MPS-Athlete, you're not only promoting songs, you're building a career just like in any sport. This is a new pathway for independent artists to promote their music while increasing streams, reaching new listeners, growing their fan base, and gaining exposure to career-advancing business opportunities.
