The evolution of the Internet technologies changed the way people get to their favorite musicians, music, artist and everything connected and related to them. It has become very easy for them to reach countless artist with just a few simple clicks of their mouse. Let us, for a moment, concentrate on mobile devices. We know that everyone has one today. There is no man in the world without a mobile device unless we count the nomad tribes in Africa and the likes. The thing with mobile devices is that people tend to take them everywhere they go. Their phones and devices are always with them. This is nothing more than a perfect opportunity for musicians and bands to engage their fans and make their music more than reachable.

People who are at work and have a break, can easily go online, find their favorite song or read some news about their favorite singer or hear a new song he or she put out. Also, by checking their mobile device, they could easily find out about a new singer or a musician or a band. This was not possible before the Internet.
