This is so cool: Pump Audio is a Hudson Valley, New York-based company that helps independent musicians and artists who are on small labels, or no label, get paid for their art. The company provides hard drives full of music to harried production teams at networks such as MTV and Spike TV.
Steve Ellis, Pump Audio's CEO, started the company in 2001, after a development deal as a musician with Columbia Records convinced him he would never make enough money to raise a family. After he licensed one of his band's songs for a commercial and made "a couple grand," Ellis began representing friends who had music but mostly weren't signed to labels. Check it out.
