Voices

BEHINDtheBEAT's Voice of the Artist™ audio portraits give music fans a compelling personal connection to their music. Listening to artists talk about their latest CDs - what inspired them, their creative process, the mood or message in the songs - adds emotional depth and meaning to the music. Musicians are eager to reach out and speak directly to their audience, which too often hears only the opinions of reporters, critics and publicists.

BEHINDtheBEAT™ has assembled a team of veteran producers from Public Radio, where the art of portraying the richness of the world in voices and sound has achieved its highest expression. BEHINDtheBEAT brings their years of experience to the music world to create an entirely new category of content.

Since it's founding in 2000, BEHINDtheBEAT has profiled more than 200 artists and their new recordings. A typical profile contains four two-minute segments, each telling a different story and previewing different tracks from the CD. These audio portraits are akin to mini-documentaries, or the audio equivalent of a movie trailer

BEHINDtheBEAT's catalog, available for review on the web, contains more than 800 individual segments about musicians and their music. Each has a typical shelf life of many months, as most successful CDs take months to go gold or platinum.
