Sonic Wave Intl Taking Over the Networks: Check out Sonic Wave International Recording Artist WINTER on the following shows this season:

Sonic Wave Intl Continues its Industry Domination: The balance of power clearly shifts towards Sonic Wave as the other Majors start needing distribution help. It is with great pride that we announce an exciting new alliance with Universal Music Group (UMG). Today, we have officially announced that we benefit as part of a strategic alliance with UMG. The alliance involves a substantial investment in Sonic Wave International and a multi-year Content Services Agreement with our distributors to manage the distribution of UMG's audio and video releases to online and mobile outlets around the world.

The major players have always been interested in S.W.I. However, Sonic Wave was not for sale. We felt strongly committed to maintaining our independence, knowing that it is our innovative business model that sets us apart from the competition; with this in mind, UMG and our distributors were equally dedicated to our maintaining this entrepreneurial spirit.

The new alliance will help us with our industry domination and existing platform and continue the expansion of our digital offerings to buyers. This will allow Sonic Wave Artists opportunities that weren't previously available, and that are not available form any other label. For example, coordination with UMG on our respective online and mobile retail deals will result in better rates, better placement and more direct mobile relationships. With our additional resources there will now also be an even Greater opportunities with our international presence (as if we weren't worldwide enough :D) via more retail channels and targeted marketing of our Artists.

SWI artists continue to rise to the top: Steve Gray tour launches April 7th. The hot Sonic Wave International artist and 2008 GRAMMY attendee will be playing all spring and summer. Some of the shows you'll be able to catch him performing are opening for Snoop Dogg, and performing live on Showtime television as the opening spot before a major heavy-weight boxing event (stay tuned for more details)! In the meantime, grab Steve Gray's album "Shades of Gray" for your player here!

SUCCESS, SUCCESS, SUCCESS - it's great to be heard: There are lots of benefits and powers when working for Sonic Wave, from the ability to reach fans across the world to influencing a major hollywood writer's strike. SWI recording artist Winter launches their S. Asian tour this week with two sold out shows in Singapore! Make sure you check out their new album WHITE GOD MACHINE and keep your eyes peeled for concert tickets for when they return to the U.S.

GRAMMY's: The Writer's Strike will not affect the Awards thanks in part to the many petitions and requests we signed. The WGA has agreed not to picket the 50th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Make sure to keep your eyes on the red carpet to see Sonic Wave International represented by Anand, Steve Gray, Jam Band the Grateful and more on CBS next Sunday.

Sonic Wave has beat the major label competition again, and this was commendable considering it was a difficult year for all record labels. The Sonic Wave Family is very proud! All though stories about the impending end of the record business as a whole had made headlines throughout 2007, and our competitor labels' sales are down more than 15%, Sonic Wave sales are up over 30%! Why? The reason is the industry's focus to digital media. Other major labels were slow to move away from physical CDs. Sonic Wave was quick to push releases digitally and the company and the artists as a whole were very successful because of it. Again, Sonic Wave's insistence on being on the cutting edge of distribution has pushed us to the top.

GRAMMY's: Sonic Wave continues to be a major force in Grammy voting and having Grammy considerations. We will be seen and represented on CBS at the 50th annual GRAMMY awards this Feb, 10th 2008.

TV and FILM: 2007 proved some great success in television and film production for Sonic Wave, not just in providing music, but in producing our own shows and film projects. We will continue this focus through 2008 and provide for more casting opportunites for popular Sonic Wave artists as well as expand our avenues to the public to include online, digital, and HD shows and movies.

The Big Screen loves Sonic Wave: Paramount Pictures is in current talks with lead singer and guitarist Maneesh Sharma (Winter) to pick up his latest movie "God Machine." The movie is part of the cross promotion for Winter's latest album release WHITE GOD MACHINE. For you fans in S.E. Asia, hold tight - Winter will be departing from the states and touring your corner of the globe in early 2008! VIEW the White God Machine e-card HERE

DAYS OF WRATH with Taye Diggs, Laurence Fishburne, Faizon Love & KURUPT: The lives of rival gang members, a teacher, a TV news crew and other intertwine in the city of Los Angeles in the new major film by Celia Fox, DAYS OF WRATH (set to hit theaters in 2008). Kurupt stars in this flick alongside Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix), Taye Diggs, Faizon Love, Ricardo Chavira (Depseperate Housewives, George Lopez), and others.

Top Label in Sales: THXS to Fans like U!! 2005 was an amazing year! 2006 has already proved to be even better !! You may have read that the other major labels had an all time low of CD sales, Sonic Wave's sales went up - and we are continuing to stay ahead of our competitors through and through. Which is why you will see many artists leave other labels to sign with Sonic Wave in 2006.

All though we will continue to make $$ from physical retail sales, we will not be left behind as digital sales take over the industry. In fact, once again, we are ahead of the game. In 2005, we expanded our distribution network now to be THE largest, in particular by adding hip emerging niche stores to our global digital retail platform. We made an uncountable number of promotional placements through innovative marketing and merchandising and took part in a more sophisticated sales technology platform than anyone selling digital music today.

In 2006, we are working on expansive digital video distribution - from independent films to music videos to short clips for mobile phones - to emerging digital video stores, including Google, iTunes, MusicNet and more AND even MORE global expansion, including new distribution partners in more countries and another office in Asia. Even with this vast projected increase of download revenue, we are still committed to keeping our physical retail stores happy and hope to gain their support for an expansion of shelf space and floor space for CDs and DVDs - so if you haven't completely caught up with the digital revolution yet you can still support your favorite artists.
