Looking for a record deal? Well, you’ve just found one.

That’s the message to unsigned musicians from groundbreaking new social networking site Kerchoonz.com – designed by industry insiders to keep music free for the fans whilst paying the artist. This weekend thousands of musicians are expected to sign up to Kerchoonz.com as the site opens to an expectant industry.

Kerchoonz.com – the much anticipated answer to the current downloading problem – has already received thousands of profile requests from eager artists looking to benefit from the tools available. Kerchoonz.com offers the perfect platform for bands and artists to develop every aspect of their career. The site covers everything from tours and tour destinations right through to deals on where to stay.

Unsigned bands and artists will be paid every time their tracks are downloaded or listened to. Acts will receive a fraction a penny for every play and up to 10p for every download – by far the largest payments available to any act choosing to give away their music for free online. Kerchoonz.com is currently locked in talks with both independent and major record labels to bring further content to the site, providing a comprehensive music catalogue for fans.

“Kerchoonz.com takes the world of online music to a completely different dimension by allowing musicians to earn money from their work without being exploited” says Indiana Gregg.  Acts can even earn money by recommending friends to the site and, with no limit on the number of people you can recommend, it’s the hardest working acts that will reap the greatest rewards.

“If bands and artists use the promotional tools we provide for them, Kerchoonz.com will act just like a record company. Artists can effectively ‘sell’ their music without charging their fans anything for it,” says Gregg.
