ArtistData founder Brenden Mulligan Launches Onesheet.com For Artists

In times where artists are looking to stand out from the ocean of like-minded talents that are surfacing from the depths of creativity. In order for an artist to get their name, and most importantly their craft out to the masses, they must think outside the box and utilize all the efficient internet tools that can make or break an artist. But with so many tools out there, it is very labor intensive to keep a half a dozen pages up to date. The solution? Onesheet.com!

What is Onsheet.com?

Onesheet allows musicians to set up a web presence in minutes using content from other websites they're already updating. They simply connect their existing social networks and services immediately have a website full of content already posted across the web: music, videos, photos, concert dates, blogs, social streams, mailing list signups, online stores and more.

How does Onesheet.com work?

With Onesheet.com, bands can verify their identity through Facebook or Twitter and connect their musician-specific third party services like Soundcloud, Bandcamp and ReverbNation as well as social media services like Posterous, Tumblr and YouTube. Once all their content is in, bands can tweak their Onesheet’s design, making changes like font and widget positioning. Aside from this slight customization, bands really don’t have to do much work, as the service updates itself.

Why not use About.me?

Well namely because About.me doesn’t support band-specific data like concert dates and song uploads. In fact Brendan Mulligan (founder of ArtistDirect) has added this helpful addendum to the registration process, “Note: This site is built for musicians. If you want a personal page, click here.“ The same exact problem exists with the web’s most ubiquitous presence option, Facebook Fan pages, which are more like places to interact with fans then a way to showcase your music. Hence Onesheet …

What if I am using Myspace.com as my main site for showcasing my music?

Right now bands have limited options in terms of web presence, and with Myspace’s imminent fall, it might be a good idea to port your content from the flailing social network onto some place more stable. “Musicians are constantly having to direct fans from service to service and from used-to-be-awesome social network to now-is-awesome social network,” says Mulligan, who brings his copious industry experience with ArtistData to this endeavor. “It’s confusing for them and for their fans.”
