For bands needing help, sdmusicmatters provides free access
to staff writers, photographers and videographers to help
them develop their media kits. Staff from sdmusicmatters
attend band events for live photo shoots, perform in studio
interviews and press photography, and write background bios
for the bands. The site then posts, also at no charge, band
bios, mp3s, live photos, live video, video interviews, and
studio shoots. These free services are offered to local
bands and musicians of all genres.
“SDMusicMatters.com has been extremely helpful to our band
in many ways. They have taken very professional photos and
live video of us and have contributed a wonderful page to us
on their website using those materials. Their staff is very
professional and super fun to work with. SDMusicMatters.com
is an excellent portal for up and coming bands, and I think
they are the most creative and innovative music site in
existence.” -Aaron Goulding (Singer/Writer)-PRIDEBOWL (SD)

since MP3.com has a website made so much buzz in our town.
SDMusicMatters.com has been a great web partner with us and
we look forward to doing great things as they continue to
grow. SDMusicMatters deserves to be commended for its
un-selfish support of the ever growing San Diego Music
scene." -Mark Rasmussen -President/No Cover Magazine
