Change the Way the World Finances Music.

TUNE YOUR WORLD is bringing the power of MICROFINANCE to emerging ARTISTS worldwide. Our groundbreaking approach is the creation of peer-to-peer microfinancing of new music projects. We're using the power of online social networking to deliver start-up capital to aspiring musicians from developing countries around the world.
TUNE YOUR WORLD operates on a people-to-people model: Musicians obtain funding for their recordings from their fans -- without giving up ownership or control. Fans and Sponsors are able to feel a personal connection with a music project and get progress updates from Musicians. So, instead of buying music via a distribution network that prevents most of your money from getting to the artist, peer-to-peer microfinancing lets you sponsor small amounts directly to any musician that you choose.
