American Idol Underground is an online community where
emerging artists get their music heard and fans discover
new music.
As a new artist, you will be featured
in one of American Idol Underground's genre-specific music
areas, which are also places to connect with your fans,
and you get the chance to win cash, equipment and other
awards.
As a fan, you get to hear the next big
thing before it becomes the next big thing. More importantly,
you get a real say in what music gets heard. And if that's
not enough, the most active and accurate music reviewers
can also win prizes and awards.
Here's how it works:
American
Idol Underground features artists of all ages and genres,
including Rock, Rap, Country, R&B, Electronica, Jazz, Classical,
World, Faith-Based, and more. We believe that every artist
should have an opportunity to get their music heard! Yeah,
there will be a few big stars that get their start on American
Idol Underground, but we are more interested in helping
lots of artists get the exposure they need to earn a living
from their craft.
Our online community is not just made
up of artists and fans, but also includes recording studios,
record label executives and celebrities who can help artists
realize their potential by providing valuable information,
critiques, and services. Together, we will democratize the
music industry by giving every artist a chance to get heard
and giving the people a voice in deciding what gets played.
American
Idol Underground was created by Fluid Audio Networks, a
diverse team of techies, artists and music lovers who possess
a wealth of Internet and music industry experience. Fluid
Audio Networks is dedicated to using the vast distributive
powers of the Internet to create new opportunities in all
forms of media.
In March 2005, Fluid Audio Networks created
American Idol Underground under a license from FremantleMedia
who, in concert with 19 Entertainment Ltd. in the
UK, produce television's American Idol. The democratic spirit
of the television show and its power to make any artist
into a star prompted us to seek a partnership with the American
Idol brand. Our goal in creating AIU is to use the popularity
of American Idol to help emerging artists in all genres
get their music heard.
