Can crowdfunding be a viable source for the indie music artist to assist in paying for the project, or cover such things as the cost of getting out on the road touring?

Not all crowdfunding platforms are created equal and Carl Allocco, along with Nicole Hogland from MCRCrowdfund explain to us that with their curated approach, their company is tailored to the indie music artists needs.

They not only show the artist how to raise funding, but can guide artists, after they raise capital, as how to best utilize the funds in order to move the needle forward in their career. They also provide data that crowdfunding is crucial to helping music artists prove to labels, managers, publishers, agents, etc. that their fans will actually participate in their career growth.

At Music Careers Reimagined, Carl and Nicole aim to provide up-and-coming artists with real, honest advice about making it in the music industry. Based in New York and Nashville, these experts approach the field from a distinctive perspective. Their team share one overarching priority: helping the next generation of artists to understand the music business in all of its complexity.

Nowadays, the business is more volatile than ever. The folks at MCRCrowdfund recognize this and look forward to giving the artist the tools needed to ensure they’re equipped for whatever their journey may entail.

Over the span of nearly four decades, Carl Allocco has experienced all aspects of the music industry and has played and recorded with some of the best musicians in the business.
