My Major Company Achieve First Fully Funded UK Act 

MyMajorCompany.co.uk opened its doors on Thursday 21st October and within four days pop/rock act IvyRise have raised £100,000, the amount required to become My Major Company’s first fully funded UK act. This incredible feat proves that UK has a real apatite for this new and unique format.

IvyRise are the perfect example as to why this new format really works. Overlooked by the current record label infrastructure, this incredibly hard working act have been championed by My Major Companies open A&R’ing policy. The band have built an incredible  fan base which has translated in to this amazing level of investment.    

MyMajorCompany.co.uk gives fans a voice and allows them to choose which artist to launch, supporting them financially and artistically from the very start, not to mention giving fans the chance to make money on the music they love. 

Once the fans have spoken, MMC have a highly skilled and experienced team of music industry experts, MMC’s CEO is the former CEO of Warner International, in place to make an artists dream reality. It is unlike any other artist investment sites; the total investment is not used for an unspecified or one-off purpose, fans have the ability to get involved in every stage in the development of THEIR act.  

MMC have pioneered a truly unique model that has already been a huge success in France. One fan investment of €6000 resulted in a repayment of a staggering €118,000, over 19 times the original investment. The act, Gregoire, has had a number one album and single in France, and has now sold in excess of 1 million records, all released through MMC. Gregoire also offered his investors the opportunity to be in the video for his number one single ‘Toi+Moi’.

Gregoire is by no means MMC’s only success in France. Released in January, Joyce Jonathan had already reached gold status by March. More recently an artist named Alex Kassel had his single playlisted on one of France’s most influential radio stations within four weeks of him appearing on the site. In less than a month, this unknown artist has become one of the hottest new artists in France. MyMajorCompany France now has 28 fully financed artists with a community of 98,500 registered users.
