Blueprint Artist Development

Founded in 2011 by a group of music industry veterans, Ohio-based Blueprint Artist Development offers a full suite of services for bands interested in rising to the top of a crowded music scene. Blueprint Artist Development understands that, because barriers to entering the music business have been lowered significantly in recent years, serious artists sometimes have difficulty garnering enough support to gain the attention of record labels. Through band-specific packages that include artist development, promotion, and distribution, the company puts performers in touch with producers, promoters, photographers, managers, and videographers who can help acts to improve their chances of succeeding in the music industry.

Some Blueprint service packages include work on the overall direction of the band. The company's professionals can help create a band identity and brand that dovetail with the band's sound through web design, stylists, photography, and, in some cases, logo and merchandise design. Because the company also works with producers and engineers who have histories of backing successful acts, Blueprint's bands benefit not only from top-notch production, but also from the publicity that comes from working with a well-known name.

Once a band has recorded an album, Blueprint Artist Development can continue to help the band in a variety of ways. The company has experience creating promotional vehicles ranging from full-production music videos to promotional download cards. Bands also have the option of signing a digital distribution agreement with the company. Acts that opt to participate in the program can have their music placed in more than 660 internet stores around the world, potentially reaching millions of new listeners.
