In around three weeks, the new Music2Deal should go online. Before that happens, I want to share a bit of the story behind it.
Back in 2006, Music2Deal was still in beta mode. But the real story started much earlier.
The background of Music2Deal was Musikplaza.de, a German website I started in 1997. Musikplaza was the roof under which several independent music websites could be found: Talentweb for artists, Songshop.net for song plugging, Vocals Online for singers, and Talentstore for paid downloads.
Especially for talents, it was also not yet the right time to sell music via Talentstore, which was based on the service and technology of Music on Demand, a daughter company of Deutsche Telekom. At that time, modem connections were still very slow, so even good ideas could come too early.
Before the 2000 crash, I got competitors like Besonic, Peoplesound or Virtual Volume. They had funding. Today they are all gone.
After the crash, I restarted the business, founded Music2Deal e.k., and continued to build what later became Music2Deal.
So this old flyer is not only a memory for me. It is one step in a very long journey.
