Los Angeles, CA (Billboard Publicity Wire) September 30, 2008 -- While performing industry analysis throughout the past three years, Kingdom One Entertainment Group, LLC developed MusiK1 (http://www.musik1.net) as its music division, positioned to support the independent artist and label community with a unique line of record campaign solutions. "We've built up MusiK1 in the background, test marketing in-house and strategic partnership services to see which key components best fit our business model for any level of record campaigning," states Josh East (http://www.linkedin.com/in/josheast), Senior Project Manager for MusiK1.

As innovation proceeds to grab hold of the music industry, indies have been driven to prioritize their digital and online initiatives over traditional record campaigning methods. Understanding this great dynamic, MusiK1 has aligned itself with industry leaders in cutting-edge technology and mass media to beef up its newly launched service departments, primarily focusing on Administration, Licensing, Distribution, Marketing, Publicity, Advertising, Radio, Promotions and Touring. In addition, MusiK1 has debuted two newly developed web properties to both client and industry relations; (1) OpenMusicWire.com (http://www.openmusicwire.com) and (2) iRadioStats.com (http://www.iradiostats.com), which both are scheduled to launch out of beta this fourth quarter.

With new services in place, new partnerships are also beginning to form. MusiK1 has recently teamed up with IODA (http://www.iodalliance.com) to provide digital distribution for artist and label relations, while a strategic partnership with Jamendo (http://www.jamendo.com) is set for full steam ahead to aid in open music promotions within the OpenMusicWire.com web platform. The existing partnership with PR Web (http://www.prweb.com) has also grown into establishing co-op marketing opportunities with third party companies, in which exciting new programs will be announced at a later date.

Services offered by MusiK1 are available to select clients upon the approval of MusiK1's project management team. "We have a firm dedication to deliver exceptional results which are derived through mutual effort between our project managers and clients. As a result, we focus our energy on a handful of quality projects rather than placing them on an assembly line, dropping them in to campaign templates of successful projects past," explains Marie Pitts, General Manager for MusiK1. Clients inquiring about the company's services seek to kick-off, or expand their professional careers and businesses.

To meet growing client demands, MusiK1 continues to expand on its current business model by forming label and publishing arms that present Label Support (http://www.musik1.net/label_support.html) and Co-Publishing (http://www.musik1.net/co-publishing.html) services for selective MusiK1 distributed artists and sub-labels.

About MusiK1:

With a strong focus in new media and the reformation of industry standards, MusiK1's unique operating method allows its resources to be integrated within a wide range of music driven initiatives that stay abreast of music and its consumer's evolution.
