Slice the Pie, Support a Band

Slice the Pie, Support a Band

By Christine Huang on August 17, 2007

Wouldn’t it be great if how much you sincerely liked a band was directly related to how successful that band became? Slice the Pie is trying to make that idea a reality.This is how it works: bands create profiles.  Fans listen to them and write reviews.  The highest rated bands move on.  Music  fans vote for and finance the bands they like by buying “backstage passes,” which give them exclusive access to the artist, participation in the recording process, a free copy of the album and exclusive rights to buy Contracts in the artist at a discount.  If the band becomes successful, the fans get a “slice of the pie” too.

Essentially, Slice the Pie is a user-generated record label.  It allows artists to get their music out while empowering fans with the opportunity to become truly (financially) involved with the ones they support.
