#294 - Receiving Peer Support for Your Music

The best art doesn’t always necessarily rise to the top anymore, it's more likely the best marketed art rises to the top. Author and music industry entrepreneur Jeremy Shiloh has been brainstorming this problem as how to get the best singer/songwriters to reach that goal. What came out of this process was to create a peer review process for the totally undiscovered singer/songwriter called Circate. So exactly what is Circate? Cricket’s peer promotion system is designed for creators, such as musicians, filmmakers, video game developers, and writers. The outcome of the peer support in determining your projects are solely judged by fellow creators. The system is designed to have no AI algorithms. Consumer markets, and marketing don’t make a difference, and your creation is put on a level playing field, no matter who is involved in the process. Officially launching in January 2024, The program is currently in its Beta testing, and seeking creative people to be included in the journey.
