We’ve updated our terminology: Membership Points are now officially called Credits. The name change reflects a more common and intuitive understanding of how our internal currency works. Credits can be purchased or earned — for example, you’ll receive 250 Credits for every accepted invite you send to music industry peers. You can also gain 20 Credits by voting (non-anonymously) on another member’s music offer, and 4 Credits for each star others give to your own offer.

We’re preparing a focused update to the Music2Deal platform, set to launch in the next few weeks. This release will resize the pinboard for improved clarity and navigation. In addition, premium members will gain the new ability to promote their posts beyond their personal network, offering increased exposure across the platform. These enhancements reflect our ongoing mission to provide professional tools that help music industry executives and creatives connect and make deals more effectively.

Music2Deal: Many artists believe that streaming is everything these days. Why is radio still so important for promotion? Maurits Dofferhoff: Streaming is incredibly powerful, but radio remains a crucial factor in music promotion. It provides credibility, reaches a broad audience, and exposes tracks in places where streaming alone might not reach. We’ve seen that radio airplay directly impacts streaming numbers and helps tracks go viral. Many big hits still start on radio before they explode .....

Richard Roger: I did think there might be the opportunity there to do both of those. Please both sets of fans. Kamrad: I think if you make an album of like 12 singles it gets boring. You need two great ones and maybe 10 okay ones and I think there's nothing worse than just an okay single. You need a really great pop song or an indie song. Do you know we do a blues song live? It has a long guitar solo. This is really unexpected for people, it has a long guitar solo and people that hear my songs on the radio would not expect that. It's a really cool moment in the set. RR: the line ‘I'd rather fall asleep than fall in love’ will I believe (excuse the pun) go down as one of the iconic song lyrics of the 2020s decade. When you were growing up, what were the sort of lyrics and artists that you were really into, those that really inspired you? K: well, you wouldn't expect it but in fact, I grew up with the Beatles so the Beatles. That was the first thing that was music for me maybe for like 5, maybe 10 years of me growing up. RR: through your parents? K: yeah through my dad. So I know every lyric and every song but as time moved on, I got more into the current pop music, so I feel that someone like Ed Sheeran was an artist that …

Richard Rogers: Nice to meet you Kamrad. Music2deal is an online music platform for the music industry. It is to connect people involved with music in whichever area they are working within. As for the platform itself, well, think of a Facebook for the music industry. Getting bands online, bands working with producers. Writers working with other writers, collaborations etc. Kamrad: it makes a lot of sense actually, I get it. It is (music) after all the most consumed thing in the world after food, I believe. You can obviously connect to a lot of people. different people in different cities and it’s hard to reach them so if you have a platform and a global connection then I think it’s really good. RR: well we just started a Music2deal online map so that you can find people online and where they are from. K: that’s really nice. RR: actually from Music2deal I worked with a band from Munster in the north of Germany. Well, Emsdetten actually. K: I’ve not actually been there but I’ve heard about it on the radio. Particularly when they talk about the traffic and at some point they say Emsdetten. Laughs. RR: do you have a team of A&R people around you that you work with or is it a single person or do they (the record company) just let you get on with the A&R? K: well it’s actually a bit of all of it. Like I have one A&R Annie, the main A&R (at the record company), but we’re working with .....
