Musik Radio Promotions has over 50,000+ radio stations and 300,000+ stations with syndicated networks and station affiliates in every genre in 180 countries. We literally have just about every radio station including commercial, non commercial and college in North America, South America, UK, Australia, Ireland, Scotland, and thousands of stations in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. 97% of our stations are FM stations. We cover most chart reporting stations around the world. We promote to most major networks including BBC, Sirius, I-Heart, CBS, Clear Channels and many others. We have charted hundreds of artists in the top 10 in many charts around the world.
What makes Musik Radio Promotions different?
We realized that radio in the US is controlled by major labels as “Gatekeepers” , meaning Major US radio corporations that positioned themselves as the “Gatekeepers” . They control almost 75% of the US radio market. This left 25% of possible stations within the US that would consider playing an Indie artist’s music. It’s a big world out there and we found out if you can get enough airplay outside of the US, it follows that the US market is then forced to listen and be receptive to playing your music.
Musik Radio has developed proprietary software that will deliver a high quality DPK direct to the program director’s email. The DPK includes the artist’s promo picture, press quotes, web and social links, bios and of course their music. Radio can stream and listen and then decide if they want to download it for airplay. The artists has access to a reporting real-time link 24/7
So, what does this mean for you – the artist?
Collect 100% of airplay royalties around the world.
Touring, it is impossible to successfully tour unless people know who you are. Use the radio airplay and charts to successfully tour any geographical area.
Build an international fan base.
How does an artist get started?
Experience has proved to Musik Radio Promoters what radio will play and will not play.
Madlyn was recently named as DRT Breakout Artist of 2015!
Independent artist Madlyn, has been enamored with the music world for as long as she can remember. Growing up in an artistic family and performing since the age of 3, there has never been a question in her mind that she wanted to be a musician. After tragically losing her mother to breast cancer, she devoted herself to songwriting and pop music full time. She took the name “MadLyn” to carry on her mother’s memory, dropping the “e” from her mother’s spelling for artistic value.
MadLyn has not only performed music, but was cast in a feature film as well, titled “Elena Undone” going on to even write and record the track “Suddenly” which was featured in the film and on the soundtrack. After a few years of honing her skills, MadLyn has gone on to co-write with some of the industry’s most prestigious songwriters and even write songs for other artists, like European pop sensation Suzanna Lubrano. She recorded the title track to the fim “Wheels”, and has done backup vocals for bands like Youngblood Hawke, and Thirty Seconds to Mars.
As if all of this wasn’t enough to keep her busy, MadLyn is the creator & host of the ongoing breast cancer fundraising music event, “The Siren Song” in honor of her mother. “The Siren Song” had a bi-monthly residency at “The WitZend” in Venice Beach, CA for a year, and has since expanded into other arenas, building a very close and enriching artistic community.
MadLyn has teamed up with Musik Radio Promotions for a worldwide marketing campaign. On February 17th 2015, MadLyn released her first official music video and single, “Kiss Me Goodbye.” Within the first month of “Kiss Me Goodbye’s” release, the music video on YouTube reached over 100,000 views, gaining popularity amongst twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms. On March 21st 2015, the single reached its way to #1 on the National Airplay Top 50 Independent Radio Chart, and since then reached its way to #10 on the National Airplay Top 50 Rock Chart. On May 8th 2015 MadLyn released her 2nd single and official music video “If You Were Mine” in honor of her mother’s birthday. Within it’s first week of release, “If You Were Mine” accumulated over 24,000 views on YouTube.
Musik and Film had a chance to sit down with the talented artist for an interview:
If you could make 1 change to the music industry, what would it be?
I would want to find a way for artists all across the board to be better compensated for their art and improve the way songs are currently purchased.
What do you want to always be remembered for?
I want to be remembered for being a strong role model, empowering people to amplify their individualism and to always dream big, regardless of how ridiculous it may seem to others.
Besides music, what are 3 of your favorite things?
Coffee, Fashion, Exotic Foods. (But this list is pretty much endless :))
What has your experience been like working with Musik and Film?
Working with Musik & Film Radio Promotions has been glorious. Because of built-in relationships with thousands of radio stations worldwide, it has enabled me to chart both nationally and internationally amongst major label artists.
What made you want to pursue a career in music?
There has never been a moment in my life in which I’ve questioned my desire to sing, write songs, and overall entertain. I started out performing in musical theater productions when I was six years old, and I remember telling my parents after opening night of “Annie,” that I wanted to do this forever. That desire has morphed into different artistic endeavors over the years, but at it’s core, it hasn’t changed. I think what drives me the most is knowing what an important role music plays in all of our lives. Most of our journeys through life can be associated with songs that had an important meaning to us during a specific time period. I will always strive to create music that makes people feel something, so that they may continue to add new memories to their soundtrack of life.
Do you play any instruments?
I play piano:)
What advice would you give to a music artist who is just starting out?
To really meditate on their true reasons for wanting to do this, and to always stay authentic to themselves regardless of what offers may come their way. To be a sponge when it comes to learning the craft. Understanding music theory, playing instruments, writing songs, singing, having a basic understanding of recording, social media interaction, & performing live as often as possible are all crucial things for being a well-rounded musician and artist. I would also want to remind a new artist that patience is a virtue. Things may not happen as quickly as you expect or want them to, so rather than stressing, have patience and enjoy the journey. These are all moments of life to be cherished because there isn’t a finish line. We should always be evolving and growing. I would also say it’s crucial to surround yourself with like-minded individuals who are driven, and can act as your support system. Find your artistic community and grow together within that.
How would you describe your music?
The moods may range from dreamy to quirky, fun to introspective, touching to up-lifting. At it’s core, my music is piano-based singer/songwriter pop with a little classic rock and slight jazz influences layered underneath. 🙂
What are your goals, where do you want to take your music, & where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
My goal is to be able to have the freedom to create music for the rest of my life. In the next five years, I see my music being placed in movies and tv shows, charting internationally, and having the opportunity to tour the globe, sharing my songs with people from all walks of life.
What has been your best and worst moments during your career so far?
I’ve had some pretty amazing opportunities to create music with a few of my songwriting idols, including Billy Sternberg & Ken Hirsch, as well as record & perform with bands I love like “Thirty Seconds to Mars” on Jimmy Kimmel. One of my favorite moments was recording the title track for an indie film by the name of, “Wheels” with a live orchestra at Capitol Records. It was extra special because I was in the same recording booth that Frank Sinatra used during his recording days. On the other side of that coin, I believe we can all appreciate our good moments more because of our bad ones. I’ve definitely had my fair share of discouraging moments in my career, whether that be from taking the wrong deal, to being screwed over by various industry people, to being approached for the wrong reasons. But I can honestly say all of those bad moments were important for me to experience and learn from, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
If you had the chance for the world to hear one song what would it be?
I haven’t released it yet, but I would really like for the world to hear the song I wrote for my mom, “That Was Madelyn.” She passed away from breast cancer when I was thirteen, and the song is a really touching love letter to her in heaven. When the right time comes for that song to be released into the world, people will get a true sense of how special my mom was, the great bond that we had, and why it means so much to me to honor her memory.
Anything else you want to say?
I’d like to say thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey by coming to live shows, sharing the music, purchasing my song, watching the music video, and subscribing to my YouTube channel. Every little bit helps tremendously and I couldn’t do this without that love and constant support!
Rose Boyd and Madlyn released to worldwide radio earlier by Musik Radio Promotions, have been named to DRT’s Independent Breakout Artists of the Year! Congratulations!

Musik and Film is now partnering with Al Walsner’s US Top 20 Countdown!! Al produces the show out of Los Angeles, and it airs Thursday night every week, counting down the Top 20 songs in the US.
Musik Radio Promotions artist, Resh, is number 13 on this weeks top 20 countdown, with his song “Half the Man”!
Multi-talented, multiple award-winning artist RESH has forged a career in the Malaysian and International music scene virtually single-handedly, going from humble beginnings as a sound engineer to becoming one of the most recognizable faces of the Malaysian English music industry in the past eight years.
RESH unleashed himself onto the entertainment scene in 2003 when he released his debut album entitled “Monumental” under the then moniker, Reshmonu. The album took critics and fans by storm with hit singles like Walk Away and It’s You That Matters. The album earned him a whopping seven nominations at the premier Malaysian music industry award show, Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM) in 2004, of which he proudly bagged three awards (Best Male Vocals, Best English-language Artiste, Best Engineering for an Album).
He has since established himself as the premier English Language market entertainer in Malaysia, loved and admired by fans worldwide and respected by his peers, and is among an elite few Malaysian artists who have consistently performed as opening act for internationally acclaimed acts touring in Malaysia such as Alicia Keys, Prodigy, Pussycat Dolls, The Black Eyed Peas, Nicole Scherzinger, Girls Generation, and many more. Taking his passion for music one step further, RESH also took on the role of director his music video for ‘The Way It Makes You Move’, which went on to earn him a nomination in the 2008 AIM Awards under the ‘Best Music Video’ Award category.
Most recently, RESH was selected to be featured in the video campaign for THE GLOBAL GOALS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CAMPAIGN, a ground-breaking collaboration of campaigners, public figures, companies and civil society groups. The video also features celebrities and other influential people such as Bill Gates, Matt Damon, 5 Seconds of Summer and more.
Not only does he sing, write, produce, arrange and engineer his own music, RESH is a consummate perfectionist, overseeing virtually all stages in the process of creating an album which includes directing and editing his own music videos, art directing the artwork of his albums, working on his own unique image styling and plugging his music to local radio stations.

Musik and Film has heard artists commenting for years now “We cant make any money playing in the US!”
We heard you indie artists, and we’ve responded. Musik and Film has been networking hard to provide artists with the ability to tour the world. We have been crafting touring packages specific to certain countries and regions of the world, one at a time to help the artist focus their efforts on building their brand outside of their local regions. Our first packages was for the country of India. Which has 4 times the population of the US and we call “The Sleeping Giant”. We quickly followed up with the China / Asia touring package. We are very pleased to bring you our New Zealand Touring Package! Now you can build your fanbase in the Oceania region of the world with some of our fellow music lovers from down under. The package system essentially works like this: Musik and Film charges a service fee to set up your tour in the desired country. We can provide radio support for your tour. Then we partner with sponsors to try to get as much of the cost of logistics and travel absorbed as we can to maximize your potential gain. We then strategize the best means of creating and transporting merchandising options, and solidify custom dates for your tour, between festivals and venues in the target region. Then YOU travel to the country, blow their minds with your amazing music and performance skills, and sell out all of your merchandise and rush home to tell everyone about how amazing your trip was! Neil Young was recently heard saying that the only money left for the indie artists these days is found in touring the world and performing live. So extend your fanbase, play your hearts out, and tour the world. Don’t worry Musik and Film is here to help! Contact the Touring Promotions Team at Musik and Film today to start setting up your tours!!!
