OneSheet: A New Online Exposure Tool for Artists
Earlier today, OneSheet launched, providing a clean, simple way for artists to establish an online presence. The site invites musicians to create pages with a large picture of them, a stream of their music, and links to various other sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, YouTube, and Tumblr. Developers say that the site will eventually feature some premium components that will be available for purchase, but for now the site remains totally free for artists.
Check out the site at www.onesheet.com, or get more information here.
