BETHESDA, Md. - Marylandian -- LOUDmusic, a newly launched record and technology company, announced today a subscription service unlocking a powerful suite of tools for budding artists who need help getting started in the music industry. The new web application enables subscribers to distribute high-quality audio and market that work on their own platform using LOUDmusic's website builder, merchandise designer, and other branding tools.

LOUDmusic is the brainchild of Derrick McMichael II, a veteran producer in the music industry who noticed a common theme among dozens of young artists he worked with nationwide over the years. Musicians consistently voiced their frustration with not having the tools needed to scale their careers. McMichael is perfectly positioned to address their greatest pain points.

"We want every independent musician with an internet connection to be able to create and monetize their talents," said McMichael, cofounder of LOUDmusic. "Our platform enables people who don't have industry contacts or connections at top music labels to still have a fair shot at a successful career."
