Another way to distribute your music… Ashley Alexander Dupré is a music artist but also the high priced call girl who proved New York Governor Elliot Spitzer’s downfall. Instant popularity, instantly translated in numbers… but perhaps not in sales yet…
What the hell is Amie Street Music ?
Amie Street improves the online music market by providing prices that convey information about quality. All songs – whether by a famous artist like the Barenaked Ladies or from an unknown artist like Ashley Alexander Dupré’s start at $0.00. As more people listen to the track and recommend it to others, the higher the price climbs – to a maximum of 98 cents. Artists take 70% of the proceeds. Simple idea, no? So simple and clever that Amazon recently invested.
Elliot’s Mayflower hook-up, Ashley Alexander Dupré, is discovering the power of the Amie Street model. This aspiring singer / call-girl uploaded her tracks to Amie Street on Nov. 8, 2007, and yesterday morning they were selling for about 7 cents. As her name got out people started discovering – and reviewing – her music on Amie Street. The price quickly climbed. Today, her tracks are selling at 98 cents. She’s making real money, right away. You go girl.
