Second Life is an Online Virtual world populated by people from all across the globe. Citizens in Second Life exist as Virtual Characters, or Avatars, and can travel from place to place through the SL Viewer. Second Life has more than 18 million users; within the last 60 days, more than 1.45 million users have logged in, and at any given time, between 50,000 to 90,000 people are logged in and using Second Life.
There is music everywhere in Second Life. From Internet Radio streams, to Live DJ's spinning at clubs and events, to Live Music Performances, Music in SL is a driving force in it's growth. For the performing musician, Second Life offers you the ability to reach a completely new type of fan base that is highly interactive and extremely loyal to the artists and the performers they like. In addition, SL fans are for the most part, affluent and upwardly mobile; SL Fans will spend money on your music in the form of Tips, Ticket Sales, and Music Download Purchases.
Most importantly, Second Life has an economy! Funds are traded in the form of Linden Dollars, (L$ or Lindens). The current exchange rate varies, from between 250 to 300 L$ to the US dollar. More than 1 Million US Dollars are exchanged in SL daily, and there are performing musicians that supplement their Real World income in the hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars every month. Musicians can exchange the Linden Dollars they earn in Second Life, for US Dollars (or other currencies), using PayPal.
As a "Real World" musician, Second Life offers you an incredible opportunity to reach an entirely new fan base. Rather than be an incredibly small "needle" in the huge "haystack" of MySpace, Facebook and the World Wide Web, Second Life can offer the performing musician with an entirely new opportunity to become a Star in SL. In essence, we can provide you the opportunity to develop new fans that are enthusiastic, interactive, and willing to spend money on your music. Many SL Musicians perform live concerts every day, growing their fan base on a daily, sometimes hourly basis.
Relax Music Group has partnered with Trax Live Music Resource Center and Music Store in Second Life. Within Trax, we can take you step by step through the process of acclimating yourself to the Second Life experience. We will also provide you with an SLCD (Second Life CD) of your songs that you can begin to sell immediately, as well as train you in all of the tools and skills you'll need to perform Live at Music Venues throughout Second Life.
Once you have become familiar with Second Life, we have Artist Managers and Booking Agents, ready to book shows and manage your Second Life Music Career. Basically, we can provide you with all of the tools and skills to begin your Second Life career, grow your fan base, and earn real income from selling CDs and performing Live. Most importantly, YOUR BAND can do this all from the comfort of your rehearsal space, studio, or your own home.
