Further, TuneGO also added some legendary producers and songwriters to their production team who have worked with greats like Christina Aguilera, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, and Aerosmith. TuneGO has been in development since 2013 and they’re currently gearing up for a nationwide launch in Q1 2015. The driving principle behind the platform is to eliminate barriers to entry in the music industry be enabling artists to get their music in front of fans, and unlike other services, connect with actual industry executives. Chris Murray and Pasadena Angel investor Kenny Kam are the main investors behind TuneGO’s $1.2 million. One of the unique, patent-pending features inherent in the platform is TuneGO Score. In effect it’s an algorithmic filtering tool that combines social activity, crowdsourced feedback, live event activity, and professional reviews; it’s a big determining factor of an artist’s likelihood of commercial success. Once an artist registers on TuneGO, they’re invited to submit content, complete a career development survey, and determine their TuneGO Score. This score ultimately guides producers and industry executives in determining which artists to focus on for professional development and opportunities. The TuneGO team has been testing their free service for the past 12 months on an invitation-only basis, and they have racked up over 1,000 artists in their beta phase.
