Band Memberships

Ever wanted air time in the United States or in Europe? Why not both? DJ-Draven is a website offering bands the exposure they need and rightfully deserve. How is this possible? Read on, and learn first hand how Draven and this website can open doors of opportunity that other promotional outlets may promise, yet never live up to....

Most of the online music world seeks top visibility on the search engines, and the golden goose found in a record contract. In this crusade, many lose sight of the greatest asset, the music. A website may draw a person to learn more about you, but what if they don't listen to your style of music? What is the selling point of a lesser-known band: an impressive website, or musical talent? A first impression is all that we have, and for any band that first impression should always originate from the music, not necessarily the glamour of a website.

With a witty and charismatic DJ at the helm, DJ-Draven sets the top priority where it should be, on the talent of the bands. Having DJ'd for clubs and radio stations in Sweden, Estonia, Germany, England, Canada, and the United States, Draven has developed both a unique collection of music, and also a broad listening base— opening doors to the website in all parts of the world, which in turn offers far greater visibility to those who call it home.

Draven has also been an irresistible force in many aspects of the music world, which has created a wide variety of contacts in the form of other bands, labels, distributors, producers, promoters, DJs, and all the "little people" who help make both albums and live performances a reality. This website is more than just a tool where Draven can help make your band more visible; it's also a resource where bands can find support with the aspects of the music world that are often overlooked.

Here is the punch line, the foundation for why this website is so unique and also profound in design: Most radio stations disapprove of a DJ hyping another station, a record label, and even, in most cases, bands. Hyping any of these three can be seen, in their eyes, as a conflict of interest, especially when they desire the focus of the listeners to be on the radio station itself. This is where this website comes in: a DJ can promote a website if it contains their playlists, their music collection, and even interviews they have conducted with bands. Draven devotes attention to the radio stations and their listeners, but places the primary focus on the music produced by the bands.
