Songwriter Conny Conrad invites music fans around the world

BUCHHOLZ, Germany (www.conny-conrad.com) - Songwriter Conny Conrad invites music fans around the world to co-finance the recording work for his upcoming CD with donations, and in return making his music available "for free, for ever and everyone" on his official website www.conny-conrad.com.

As an alternative to commercial solutions and file sharing networks, Conrad developed "Tipping The Artist", which is based on interaction between artist and audience. The songwriter offers his music online for free, asking his fans to tip him with whatever amount of money they think it is worth in return. "Free riders cut financial resources to provide music in the first place. But the more appreciation everyone shows for intellectual proberty, the more everyone can benefit from it.", the singer explains.

Conrad encourages more artists to follow his concept: "Record companies use the internet as an excuse for their ignorance towards artists and audiences. Instead of building up artists, they hire puppets to secure the quick buck. That's killing music, and I'm sick of that. Making profit with music isn't wrong, but the way people are going about it is. It's time for a change."

Located at www.conny-conrad.com, Conrad's official website includes background information and free previews of demo material for the singer's highly anticipated debut album "Early Reflections", which is currently in the making. As soon as enough money is donated to finish the recording work, the album will be available "for free, for ever and everyone" online.

Conny Conrad has already build himself an ever growing fanbase thanks to the internet. In the tradition of classic singer/songwriters, the autodidact operates on vocals and guitar as the sole author, performer and producer of his original material.
