FRETMONKEY NATION Launches Innovative Social Media Platform For Musicians CONWAY, Ark., Sept. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- What started as an innovative guitar record label founded by 23 solo artists across the world has expanded its mission to include all musicians by launching a first-of-its-kind social media platform. The artist-ran record label, FRETMONKEY RECORDS, debuts FRETMONKEY NATION, a musician-centered social media platform designed to potentially increase artists' YouTube subscribers, arguably one of the most predominant metrics used in the music industry for everything from bookings to label offers. The #recordlabel states, "It's our contribution to help solving multiple challenges musicians encounter. We wanted to bring musicians together as a global community across musical genres in a social-media environment that allowed them to share great music to a very specific target audience – fellow musicians and /#musicfans. It is our hope that FRETMONKEY NATION will also increase musicians' fan base and subscribers on platforms that are important to them." Among other things, fans and users can easily subscribe to artists' #YouTubechannels directly from #socialmedia posts. Additional features such as commenting, #sharingposts to Facebook and Twitter, rating posts, and filtering posts by popularity (views, likes, etc) are also found on the site. The platform is free to users and offers additional options for musicians wanting to aggressively advertise their music, events, album releases, and related works. The community-oriented record label goes on to state, #FRETMONKEYNATION forwards our vision to be 'the most progressive record label in the guitar world.'" Who is FRETMONKEY RECORDS? Although FRETMONKEY RECORDS™ formed in late 2015 as an audio and music video production studio by Kevin Blake Goodwin and his family, it was an inspired vision of uniting independent, talented musicians across the globe under one collaborative record label that led to the unique formation of #FRETMONKEY™RECORDS – the record label. What Goodwin found were 22 other award-winning and notable musicians spanning 10 countries who felt exactly the same way.
