Press Release

New York, NY - (January 2010) - MajorLabelScout.com version 4.0 has arrived on the company’s 4 year-anniversary. The program, an A&R (talent-finding) network like no other, utilizes a highly select group of scouts from the U.S., Canada and U.K. to identify and sign groundbreaking artists to publishing, recording and management deals.

This cutting-edge project is a private venture developed by Ken Krongard, author of Inside A&R: The Musician's Guide To Pursuing A Major Label Record Deal, and a former A&R executive credited with signing Avril Lavigne.

MLS-discovered artists currently include Jason Reeves, now a Warner Bros. artist signed to that label by Kara Dioguardi of American Idol. Reeves is also now a multi-platinum song writer, having written multiple hits for artists such as Colbie Caillat. Other MLS artists include online sensation Joe Brooks, recently signed to Lava/Republic/Universal records and Canadian powerhouse-trio Inward Eye, signed to RCA.

Among MajorLabelScout.com's primary goals is that of educating its scouts and helping them gain some experience in the music industry.

Says Mr. Krongard, "We founded MajorLabelScout.com as a way to identify and help direct the music executives of the future. We understand that if we work hard to provide a worthwhile experience for our Scouts, they may turn us on to some incredibly exciting music in the process."

To that end, MajorLabelScout.com has entered into an educational alliance with the world-renowned Berklee College of Music's online extension school. MajorLabelScouts have online access to course material provided by Berklee, and can learn about a variety of music business subjects. In addition, music business internships will be awarded to the top performers throughout the course of the program.

MajorLabelScout.com is changing the face of major label A&R by empowering the listening audience, the music buying public and the young "tastemakers" who have the drive and ambition to find the "next big thing."
