In a direct challenge to Apple’s iTunes, MySpace has announced its intention to sell songs from the 3 million unsigned bands on MySpace.com. Even more surprising: the songs will be sold as unprotected MP3s, free from DRM. MySpace co-founder Chris DeWolfe told Reuters: “Everyone we’ve spoken to definitely wants an alternative to iTunes and the iPod. MySpace could be that alternative.”
IndieSoul.com is back and we are ready to take our righful place in the online soul universe. We first launched back in 2002 and we have reinvented ourselves and we have an even clearer mission this time...We will be the Soul information authority and we will cover all sub-genres of soul.

He's about to turn this biz on it's timbs!" - Anthony Dixon
Brown Baby Girl's sound is the sound for the forgotten and neglected music lover. It gingerly fulfills the listeners longing for creative instrumentation and delectable vocal styling. It is the next evolutionary manifestation of jazz. It reminds R&B of its roots and re-introduces the concept that in jazz there are no rules. It is in essence, a completely new way of musically being.
"I had the pleasure of working with the smooth and soulful Brown Baby Girl over the past year. It was a chance for me to grow and expand my ear in harmonies. Beautifully outta the box. I look forward to working with them again very soon!" - Anthony Dixon

"I met FL Jones many moons ago when I stumbled into an Atlanta haunt called Malibu Jacks. After winning an amateur singing contest that evening, FL Jones, who was hosting the contest, invited me to be a part of a band he'd founded. And get this...the bands name was N'Sync! lol Well that group is no longer but a lifelong friendship was forged that has lasted forever. I look forward to performing with FL again this Summer." -Anthony Dixon
Melody has always played an important part in the life of FL Jones. From performing for the amusement of his fathers' friends at the local barbershop at the age of 5, to singing backups for Celine Dion at a private party attended by statesman from around the world. The music has always come first. The music of his older siblings left a permanent mark on the development of this artist. Read more about FL Jones and FBB at: FL Jones and FBB
"James Jones was one of the first producers/engineers I was fortunate enough to work with upon my arrival in Gotham. I've learned soooo much from the man about this entertainment business as well as building my own lab to do pre-production right out of my own home. I am proud to call him my comrade!" - Anthony Dixon
