Music - a form of expression that is quite possibly the most thought and emotionally provoking form of art ever known.
It is subjective and diverse and can almost be considered stimulation for an undefined sixth sense. It can bring us back
to a personal time and place with just a few passing notes, it can make our bodies dance, help us to remember, fill our
senses with rage, or help us relax and drift into peaceful thought. Music can be a background companion in our everyday
lives or it can be the center of attention as we witness its live creation and duplication. It can bring us together by
creating unity, and it can rip us apart with expressions of anger, social separatism, and the very differences that keep
our world unique and beautiful.
Music comes in many forms and is found throughout the world as the single common thread that we all share. Whether
created in a tribal sense with instruments provided by the earth or by electronic means with computer generated tones, and
no matter what language, music brings out the best and worst in people and can make us happy, sad, angry, calm, confident
or timid. Music strengthens our love, and can comfort us when love is no longer there. It can charge our physical senses
and sooth our inner beasts. No other art form has impacted our human inner core and social patterns the way music has.
Music is truly an expression or story unique to the individual who creates it, and that creation can touch the lives of
millions or impact only a few. But either way music brings with it no true definition, it is an incredible force that can
only be described as - magical.
No matter what form of music you create or enjoy Michiganartists.com welcomes you. We are not a site hung up on
micro-dissected labels and genres, but rather a site that is here to provide you, the artist, an opportunity to have your
creations experienced by the world. And for the listener it’s a chance to discover the art that so many have worked so
diligently to provide.
Remember Michigan is responsible for some of the most powerful and influential music ever known. From the early days of
Motown, through the unique and harder feel of Alice cooper, the MC5, Ted Nugent, Bob Segar, and Brownsville Station, the
soulful sounds of Grand Funk Railroad, the 80’s vibe of DC Drive, the Look and the Rockets through the modern edge of Kid
Rock and Emenem. Michigan has produced some landmark and unforgettable talent. However, behind all of these great artists
who get national and international recognition, there are dozens of talented groups and individuals in the trenches
everyday just waiting to be heard.
But given all of that there is one undeniable force that Michigan has which cannot be claimed by any other geographical
region in the world…the fans. Michigan music fans are second to none and have always been the driving heartbeat within the
music industry, and are the very reason that Michigan is never overlooked when musical artists from around the globe go on
tour. This, my friends is why we exist. The purpose for Michiganartists.com purpose is to provide a forum and give a voice
to all of the artists who strive and dream to create and be heard. We know that Michigan music fans are lying in wait and
continually looking to support all types of music. No matter what “category” of music is provided Michigan music fans are
willing to listen. So Attention all artists, bring your creations to Michiganartists.com and let Michigan and the world know

Let’s face it, the walk-in music stores of the past are quickly being taken down by the technology and convenience of the 21st
century. One of the best ways to achieve maximum exposure in today’s musical environment is to be spotlighted on the internet. But
many musicians simply put up a site of their own and then expect the world to find them. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.
For an unknown or even growing musician to receive the most exposure possible from the internet they have to build their own network
by placing themselves in areas which receive high traffic and open the door to a vast amount of exposure for the artists, that’s where
we come in. Michiganartists.com currently receives over 700,000 views per month but with the launch of our new site we pledge to bring
that number even higher as we grow. By becoming a member these numbers give you, the artist, immediate exposure in a field that numbers
like that are hard to achieve. And the best part is that it’s Free. So you have nothing to lose and only publicity, a fan base, and
popularity to gain by being part of our community. At Michiganartists.com we intend on providing all musical artists a place to grow
and keep up with today’s technology. A place to showcase the continuation of Michigan’s musical talents and achievements, as well as
keeping alive the tradition of great music from the Great Lakes region.
