Solo artist Murphy Green announced today he will be giving away 50% of his net profits from his new EP “The Color of Sound,” back to his fans through a series of contests.
This unprecedented media industry move is in direct response to slumping industry wide album sales and the worldwide economic recession.
“Ultimately I want my music to be heard, music shouldn’t be written for financial reasons. Giving this money back to the fans seems like an original idea, and hopefully it will help a fan out financially, said Green.”
The Itunes exclusive contest will consist of 4 winners. Each winner will receive a percentage of the net profits.
•The Grand Prize winner will receive 20% of the net profits through a random drawing.
•An Art Contest winner will receive 15% of the net profits by submitting artwork related to The Color of Sound
•A Marketing Contest winner will receive 10% of the net sales. The winner will be selected based on who most effectively promotes The Color of Sound.
•Another Marketing Contest winner will receive 5% of the net sales. The winner will be selected based on who most effectively promotes The Color of Sound.
