Featured Music2DealLeave a comment

M2D: Tell us a bit about yourself

MkS: My name is Mckaywer Sting Salethan, professionally known by my stage name 4Staan. I am a music producer, recording artist, and mixing & mastering engineer based in Kanyakumari, India. I have been actively working in music production for over six years, creating and collaborating on independent music projects across multiple genres. My work focuses on producing emotionally engaging music while collaborating with artists and creatives from different backgrounds.

M2D: Why do you think your kind of music will do well internationally?

MkS: Music has the ability to connect people beyond language and cultural boundaries. I focus on creating music with strong emotional expression and modern production that can resonate with listeners globally. With digital platforms allowing independent artists to reach audiences worldwide, I believe music that carries authentic emotion and relatable themes can travel across borders and connect with diverse listeners.

M2D: Notable projects you have completed

MkS: One of my notable achievements is having my debut album featured on BBC Asian Radio, which helped my music reach an international audience. Another highlight was an independent release titled “Vikram – Venuma En Recipe,” which gained strong traction and went viral across YouTube and various social media platforms.

Alongside these projects, I have worked on multiple independent music productions where I handled the full creative process, including songwriting, recording, production, and mixing & mastering.

M2D: Upcoming projects / tours

MkS: I am currently working on new independent music releases and collaborations with artists from different creative backgrounds. My focus is on continuing to release original music, expanding collaborations, and reaching wider audiences through new projects and creative partnerships.

—

M2D: What do you think is the single largest problem faced by the music industry today?

MkS: One of the biggest challenges in the music industry today is visibility for independent artists. With a huge amount of music being released every day, it can be difficult for talented artists to reach the right audience and gain meaningful exposure.

—

M2D: How do you think it can be resolved?

MkS: I believe stronger industry networks, collaboration opportunities, and platforms that connect artists with music professionals can help address this challenge. When artists have access to supportive communities and industry connections, it becomes easier for them to showcase their work and grow their careers.

—

M2D: Your plans for next year

MkS: Over the next year, my goal is to release more original music, collaborate with artists and producers internationally, and continue developing my work as both a producer and recording artist while expanding my presence in the global music community.

—

M2D: A good word on Music2Deal

MkS: Music2Deal is a valuable platform that connects artists, producers, and music professionals from around the world. It creates opportunities for collaboration, networking, and discovering new talent, which is essential for the growth of independent artists in today’s music industry.

Pitch Now: Four current Needs you can reply to — TV/film songs, hard rock, collabs, and catalog/label sales. Offer directly via the Needs below.

Spaghetti Music Publishing — Licensing Opportunities (Australia)

Spaghetti Music Publishing is seeking select artists and songwriters interested in developing international-standard recordings suitable for film, TV, documentary and commercial licensing. We operate on a producer-led recording model, pairing artists with experienced session musicians and arrangement direction to create broadcast-ready masters with clear commercial intent.

This opportunity suits artists who already have strong material, are performance-ready, want to hear their music realised at a truly professional level, and understand recording as a commercial asset, not a demo. This is not an unpaid collaboration or entry-level submission. Projects are undertaken as commissioned or artist-funded productions, with clear publishing and licensing pathways. Ideal for artists asking: “How would my music sound with a top-tier professional band and producer behind me?” Serious enquiries only.

Interview with Przemysław Zwias – Exclusive Music2Deal Representative for Poland & Ukraine

Featured Music2DealLeave a comment

Music2Deal: Przemysław, you’re now the Exclusive Representative for Music2Deal in Poland and Ukraine. How does it feel to take on this role for two countries at once?

Przemysław:
It’s exciting and meaningful at the same time. I’ve been part of the music industry for many years and had the chance to work with artists and professionals from different countries, so connecting people is something that comes naturally to me. Poland and Ukraine both have an incredible amount of talent, and my goal is to help that talent reach the global stage through Music2Deal.


Music2Deal: How did your journey in the music world begin?

Przemysław:
I started making music at a young age – I recorded my first album when I was still a kid, playing wind instruments. Over the years, I played both folk and popular music, performing live and spending a lot of time in studios. Later, I moved toward music production, mixing, and mastering. I’ve always been fascinated by how a song takes shape – from an idea to a finished track that really connects with listeners.


Music2Deal: You’re also involved in A&R work – could you tell us a bit about that?

Przemysław:
Sure. I currently collaborate with Compigram, a Dutch music company, where I help select songs for compilation albums and work on visual concepts and artwork. It’s a creative side of the job that lets me combine my love for good music and design.


Music2Deal: You mentioned you also run an international project called The Happiness. What is it about?

Przemysław:
The Happiness is my personal project where I collaborate with musicians, vocalists, and producers from all over the world. It started a few years ago as a way to make music without borders – just pure creative connection. It’s given me a lot of friendships and artistic inspiration.


Music2Deal: What made you decide to represent Music2Deal in your region?

Przemysław:
Music2Deal has always stood out to me as a platform that truly connects professionals – not just profiles. It’s not about likes or trends, it’s about real collaboration and opportunities. When I got the chance to represent Poland and Ukraine, I knew it was something I wanted to do. My focus is to help artists, songwriters, and labels from our region build international relationships and open new doors for their music.


Music2Deal: What’s your vision for Music2Deal in Poland and Ukraine?

Przemysław:
I want to make Music2Deal more visible in both countries – to show that this is a serious, professional platform for people who really live music. I plan to reach out to artists, publishers, producers, and managers, and help them understand how much potential there is in connecting through this network.


Music2Deal: Outside of your professional life, what keeps you inspired?

Przemysław:
Definitely music itself. I still spend time in the studio – creating, experimenting, and learning. I also like exploring new technologies and ideas that change how we create and share music. That constant learning keeps me motivated.


Music2Deal: Finally, what advice would you give to artists on Music2Deal?

Przemysław:
Stay authentic. Work hard, be patient, and don’t be afraid to connect with others. Music is about relationships – creative and human. Every collaboration teaches you something new, and you never know which one will open the next big door.
