PledgeMusic Acquires NoiseTrade
PledgeMusic has announced that it has officially acquired NoiseTrade. As part of the deal, the company will retain Derek Webb as their PledgeMusic Nashville GM.
PledgeMusic is a platform that enables crowdfunding of musicians. NoiseTrade, which Derek Webb co-founded in 2008, is a platform where artists can give their music away to fans in exchange for information and an optional tip. With both companies revolutionizing the way artists and fans interact, the pairing makes sense.
"The integration of NoiseTrade into PledgeMusic is igniting a real powder keg in Nashville. I'm thrilled to be the boots on the ground as the new GM," Webb told Music Week. "We feel there are several real growth opportunities for us here, and as a 15+ year resident, I don't think there's ever been a better moment than now to invest into the community of musicians and their teams here in Music City."
