1. Give it to me straight. What is iProdigy?

Think of iProdigy as a record label that partners with artists who always earn the lion's share, and never have to sign their rights away. iProdigy offers the exact opposite of a traditional record deal. Additionally, we give a fair listen to every artist member and provide self-development tools to help you grow on your own terms. We partner with artists who are ready to level up and open up a world of opportunity. 

 

Collectively, the iProdigy team is credited with 150 Grammy wins, 350 EGOT nominations, and 500 platinum albums.  Early-stage artist development is critical to compete in today's music industry, where hundreds of thousands of tracks are uploaded daily to Spotify. We have a bit of experience, which will offer you an edge over the unprecedented competition around the globe.

 

Membership includes a Grammy-winning A&R listen of your music and access to 1:1 consults, the world's first-ever reward-based crowdfunding engine, song camps, master classes, and a member-only digital marketing co-op.

 

Starting in 2025, exceptionally talented members are upstreamed by invitation to partner with us, where global resources, additional project funding, and promotion are infused to support artists. So, welcome to the ground floor of an industry-changing future.

 

Annual membership is $50. iProdigy is a best-in-class platform that always puts artists and music first.

5. What is reward-based crowdfunding and how can I get in on that?

First, all artist members are eligible to participate. Next, what's the difference between our "reward-based competitive crowdfunding" model and platforms like Go Fund Me? The Trending Top 10 artists on the 1st of each month are awarded additional cash rewards, which at scale are thousands of dollars. Yes, you read that correctly. Charting is based on fan engagement and crowdfunded earnings to goal. It is a gamechanging funding model for talented artists and truly levels the playing field for all. 

​

6. Who needs artist development and why is it so crucial? 

Literally every artist and band on the planet either needs or benefited from artist development, from tweens experimenting in the garage to Miles Davis to Taylor Swift.

​

Today’s diverse icons, largely discovered in small bars and clubs, benefited from artist development, given time and opportunity to fully bake by multi-album label deals. The model no longer exists. As a result, many new major artists today only experience a "transient moment," devoid of a catalog which can stand the test of time. And many more are ill-prepared for the spotlight, prematurely crashing otherwise potentially long-term careers. 

​

DIY Indies now represent nearly 50% of all streaming revenues yet most suffer from obscurity and either lack marketing skills or budget, and require a break out strategy. Early-stage development is critical for success.

​

Music artist development nurtures and refines skills, image, and overall career to help talent stand out in the crowd and above the noise. It includes: songwriting, fan engagement, branding, production, marketing, strategy, promotion, media training, and the business of music.​​​​​​​​
