Skyarkmusic.com Bridging Musicians and User

JAKARTA - The low esteem and appreciation of the works of local musicians and legal difficulty of the musicians find a market also receive an honorarium that is appropriate for their services, has recently become a new problem in the country music industry.

"Problems in publising and royalties due to lack of exposure. Example, small musicians in kroncong, they were really good, in the international really high art. Too bad, it was lost at the greed of this industry," explained Saint Loco frontman, Barry Manoch during a press conference www.skyarkmusic.com.

With background of this issue, the idea of of launching www.skyarkmusic.com appear as a container that can facilitate musician and prospective users of its services.

"Customers can find and book a musician profile until payment in a single platform. They can book for live gigs like birthday parties, weddings, art shows (performing arts), and others," said one of the founders Skyark, Astrio Feligent.

This content will reinforce core values and identity musicians. It is expected to be encouraged to improve market price of musicians.

"So here the musicians set their prices. A fix pricing for end users to find," he added.

For security, Skyark create a system where there is no aggrieved party both prospective service users and musicians themselves.

"For safety and convenience, the booking money from users will be stored on the platform until they perform. Once performed, the automatic payment of money went into musicians. Conversely, if the musicians do not perform then money will be fully refunded," said Astrio.

Given this new breakthrough, as a musician, Barry admitted welcomed. He also hopes this step to get the attention of the government.

"We are short of containers music. It could help industry players. Hopefully things are good and original supported by government to the industry such as this could be healthier and more secure in future," said Barry.
