MusicForte.com was founded in 2003 and now has offices in New York, Chicago, Phoenix, San Francisco and Japan. Though the musical seeds of our network were planted years ago, the major growth and expansion began when our new software platform was installed in January of 2006. With a range of talents in sales, marketing, advanced computing, and much more, we have envisioned your success and provided the means to help you achieve it. Music Forte has created a better opportunity for anyone that appreciates Music and the Arts.
Is Music Forte a Corporation? - Music Forte is incorporated. However, the founders and staff that are working at Music Forte are entirely composed of writers, artists, and musicians, who also have a strong corporate background. We've been through "the mill" when it comes to playing on the road, trying to obtain sponsorship, sell CD's, get radio play, build a network, etc...and we've become familiar with every aspect of the business on an intimate level. We also believe that we are just like many of the members at Music Forte in several ways, and we are glad that we can connect on a level that allows us to help them skip some of the industry hurdles. It is our passion of music and helping people that led to the creation of Music Forte. This passion also provides us the endurance to keep Music Forte moving and growing for many years to come.

The Customer Advantage Plan
Music Forte's growth is seeing a rapid increase in the amount of customers vs. musicians. Due to this increase, we've released the Customer Advantage Plan. It is a great benefit for musicians and for the customer.
As a member in the Customer Advantage Plan, you will receive a CD of your choice each and every month along with 30 song downloads, and a 1-year subscription to Paste Magazine (magazine is available for US Residents only). This is just a few of the benefits that members of the Customer Advantage Plan receive. More information is available for customers when you login to your account.
Here's how it helps the musicians. The monthly fee received by the customers is allocated to the purchase of YOUR CD. Each month, they choose the CD that they want to receive. We ship it to them and send you the check. Additionally, digital media can be set to "free" or "purchase" so that you can work on increasing sales, or leverage free songs for bringing more fans to your contact list. The customer advantage plan guarantees sales and is TRULY a great way of introducing a NEW fan-base to the music at Music Forte.
