It’s all about the data
I have seen a few articles recently stating that Facebook music is not helping artists to gain fans or sell music. This understanding about Facebook music is fundamentally flawed, much like comparing apples to oranges.

Facebook is not concerned with what you are listening to, how many like’s you have, or even what photos you are…

Business Intelligence
There is no question that the internet has changed the business of music. The story line goes that independent artists are using the internet to reach their public directly (without the need of labels), focusing on generating income from live performances and alternative revenue sources. But how does reality compare with that story line? In a new report published by IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) entitled, “Investing In Music“, the reality of the music business is that the…

Steve Jobs
We all must die. Only a few of us ever really live. It will always be said that Steve Jobs Lived. Farewell Steve Jobs. You left too soon. Steve Jobs was the Ford of this generation. He made us want computers and he made computers that people would want. His work touched all our lives here at musicTRAY in a deeply personal and profound way. His legacy is more than a company in Apple and Pixar. Rarely has the contribution…
