Working with artists can be very rewarding and I love it when I can give them the answers they want to hear. Recently I was asked by an artist how he could get his own Vevo channel. I will tell you in a brief statement what they provide.
Vevo is a video hosting service that is owned as a joint venture between Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, Google and Abu Dhabi Media. Videos are syndicated across the web. So it’s obvious why an artist would be very interested in obtaining their own Vevo channel. Great opportunity to build a more far reaching fan base.
There are a couple of methods an artist can go about securing their own channel. The first being, contacting Vevo directly. You can easily follow their submission guidelines and submit accordingly; however, the method I would like to discuss is one that is not as widely known and may help save some time. If you’re asking yourself, “How do I upload my video to VEVO?” Here’s the answer:
Vydia.com is a content partner with Vevo, and for as little as $20 per year and artist can register with Vydia.com. The artist can get an official Vevo.com artist profile, get into Vevo’s weekly meanings, but one thing that I find very important and beneficial to the artist, is they can earn money. Since most artist are waiting for that big break when they are offered a record contract by a major label, and knowing that the major labels look at two things when considering a contract, which are sales and fan base. The sooner you can begin earning any type of income from your singing, the better. Labels need verifiable proof that you have sales and this company just happens to have two labels invested in he venture. So if you are considering or have considered a Vevo channel, it is certainly a good idea. Take control of your career. Keep in mind that you must upload only HD content, so keep your unprofessional videos on YouTube.
