1. True Message
1.1. To have a donation run platform for musicians. aspiring artists and djs to be heard and promoted internationally
2. Section A Topics
2.1. 1. Age 18-40 artists, producers djs. You need this because it’s impossible to market and be heard in the digital age of music from dot one. You need a platform to be heard. An audience and a way to network and be seen. Needle in a haystack refer to this saying multiple times.
2.2. connect myself to the audience by stating my struggle re-emerging into the indutry with no direction and no connections. Mindmapping as seen. Something to take away from the presentaion- HOW DO YOU DISCOVER MUSIC? Show them the difference with and without the platform i am offering them.2. Entertainment, music media. You can express yourself as you in many ways. Stand out from the masses on a professional platform to enhance what you can offer and a central location for all your skills to be seen.
2.3. Doing this because w/o a support network, stable platform it's impossible to be heard. A place to network and be promoted. Doing it alone w/o guidence is a feat. No one can pick you out of the crowd.
2.4. Use Videos, stats and artwork to convey this idea.
2.5. Obstacles to overcome during delivery. Feelings against my idea-Why cant they do it alone. Refute issues with already established media sharing sites and point out areas lacking. Why do they need us? Because we combine all these issues and platforms the industry offers and centralizes them for a nominal donation.
2.6. The hardest part will be to refute established media interfaces with individual profile support. Ex: Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Facebook…etc. Also showing them that you NEED to be seen on many fronts and that an established single brand known for underground up and coming talent will centralize the many many many artists, producers and djs out there. Also having it donation run can be hard as some people can take advantage of the service without putting any financial obligations in. With that we will refute that with a trial run of our service. We will expect a monthly donation of what you can throw in for the service, and that without this donation all the services will be shut down to the individual obviously taking advantage of this application we offer. We understand the struggles of financial obligations in your life hence why we run on donations. See this as an honor system.

4. Section C Topics
4.1. Audience
4.1.1. 18-40- year old artists, producers and djs emerging or re-emerging into the music industry
4.2. Begining
4.2.1. My story I've been classically trained since i was 8 years old. A musician and artist. I had to give up that dream to care for my family and deal with life issues. I found my way back to my music but the industry had evolved and i had no idea where to start, how and what direction to go into. I didnt know about the new social marketing methods, new software and how to even be heard.
4.3. Middle
4.3.1. Problem- Having no direction or connections to be heard and a place to learn and grow. How can you be heard or stand out when there's so many people doing what you do. We offer a place to be heard, grow, learn advance and be promoted in a family atmosphere. A place to gain contacts and network with. Our already established brand puts all underground music in one location where you can be seen. We air your songs, and mixes promote and build up your numbers and followers on independent profiles. We have a centralized platform radio station and record label to grow through. People from all over the world can be in one place communicate with each other to bring all fan bases into one unit to broaden overall fan bases. It's better to unite as one to be heard than to stand alone in the masses and hope you're in the right place at the right time.
4.4. End
4.4.1. Call to action. Are you going to just hope you will be seen? You have the talent but how do you showcase it? We need to bring back the raw talent and individuality to the music world. It's hard to do this and be seen. With that you need to properly harness the talent and cultivate it to work in the professional industry. It needs to be centralized and promoted. Are you going to be that needle in the haystack? It's far easier to unite all of our resources into one unit, to work off of each other to grow together and bring our different amenities and skills to one idea. To benefit each other. United we stand. Don't fight alone for recognition in a big sea.
