Musicadium was a global digital music and video distribution service that operated between 2006 and mid-2010, based in Brisbane, Australia, until it was bought out by Valleyarm.
Musicadium delivered digital content from labels, artists, bands and other rights holders to such as iTunes, Nokia Music Store, AmazonMP3 and eMusic. Musicadium also provided promotional, educational and information services to the music community, as well as live events,[1] research papers, [2][3] educational workshops and seminars [4] and speaking at and sponsoring industry events.[5][6][7]
History and Overview
After initially taking 9% of its customers' sales royalties as per the traditional digital music distribution, Musicadium moved to a 100% royalties returned to the artist model in December 2007. Musicadium artists retained all rights, copyright or masters to their music and the distribution deal is non-exclusive.[8]
As of July 8, 2010, Musicadium announced that Musicadium’s catalogue would be acquired by Valleyarm.[9] Valleyarm will continue to provide artists and labels DIY digital distribution services, but also access to hundreds of new stores, publishing and sub-publishing avenues, and touring and marketing opportunities.
