SXSW Spotlight: ArtistData
ArtistData is going to be exhibiting in the Music Trade Show again in ‘09. They have been enjoying some deserved acclaim this year, and look forward acquiring even more happy users. We hit up Brenden Mulligan for some more information on ArtistData as well as his views on a couple of very controversial topics concerning the world today.
ArtistData was a featured company
at Chicago’s TECH Cocktail 9
We are a distribution platform for musicians to use to publish their tour dates (and soon other profile info) across multiple consumer touch points. We sync to the artists website, MySpace, PureVolume, Virb and submit dates on their behalf to Eventful, Jambase, and more. We’re introducing features rapidly and continue to offer more services for artists to use.
2. What are you most looking forward to during SXSW 09?
Seeing a lot of old friends all in one place. It’s a great time to catch up with our artists and partners.
3. I read that in June, Hypebot named ArtistData one of the top ten indie music marketing tools. Did this come as a surprise or were you totally expecting it?
We think we’ve built a really useful product. So when that was announced, we were thrilled but not surprised. But we were also not expecting it. We are delighted with every email we get from an artist who says how much we’ve helped them. It’s why we do what we do.
4. Where do you stand on Usher vs Justin Timberlake? Whose skills are closest to Michael Jackson’s?
I guess I’d have to say I need to do a little more research before casting my opinion to the masses.
5. Steak or tofu?
I wish I liked tofu .. But unless it’s combined with unhealthy stuff, I just dont like it. So steak.
