The History of Kings of A&R:

Kings of A&R has been in the forefront of the music business for over a decade and has radically changed the way talent scouts at major music companies discovered artists. Instead of spending time at various clubs and traveling across the globe, the who’s who of the music industry began their day by clicking on Kingsofar.com hoping to find the Next Big Thing. As Billboard magazine said, “Kings of A&R tells major music companies what’s hot and What’s not’.

KOAR reports on emerging artists’ that deserve national and global exposure and has moved many acts to the national spotlight, many of which have resulted in major record deals.

Kings of A&R has been the breeding ground for many artists that you hear today and has been talked about in major publications such as Billboard Mag, UK’s Financial Times, Spin Magazine, and newspapers across the globe.

Dean Cramer, sitting in the office at Interscope Records decided there had to have been an easier way discovering artists. He began posting his favorite unsigned artists and the rest is history. Today, Kings of A&R has turned into a full-fledged entertainment firm.

Free :The Future of a Radical Price

- this is a book anyone in music can benefit from, Chris Anderson explains how “FREE” systems work and how they can be profitable. Bands can apply these techniques to start making money in this difficult business where people have little value for music. Understand that playing shows for free means more people in the room to sell merchandise to.

Following his “New York Times” bestseller, “The Long Tail, Free” is another look at the radical new way business is done. . . . [It] shows a new economic model that goes way beyond the old concepts of free with purchase’ or loss leaders’.–Will Baillett.
