Ludacris has decided to reach back with a new website, catering to the needs of unsigned artists and producers from all musical genres. Luda's Disturbing Tha Peace Entertainment has joined forces with MegaMobile TV, LLC, a multimedia company, to create WeMix.com, a music community and user-generated record label that allows unsigned singers, rappers, songwriters, producers and musicians of all types to get discovered.
The site will features online tools that will allow users to create music and digitally collaborate with other artists, even Ludacris himself.
WeMix, which will officially launch next month, has already attracted over 20,000 aspiring artists while the site is in preview mode.
"There's so much talent that never sees the light of day because of the traditional way we discover artists; I felt it was time to take music back where it belongs - in the streets and with the people," Ludacris said via statement.
"It doesn't matter what type of music you're into, at WeMix.com it's an open playing field," he continued. "We want to hear everything that's out there and let the people guide us in deciding which new artists get their shot to collaborate with stars and record a song. Even if you can't sing or play an instrument, WeMix.com gives you the chance to make music and influence decisions through voting and reviews. It truly is the people's record company."
Artists will also have the opportunity to sell their music directly to consumers, connecting them with their potential fans. The site also has other arms of operation in the works including an online reality TV show and merchandise sales.
