Steemit Artists Music Compilation @soundlegion @clydemajiklegion @qrittix @simonkraemer

@soundlegion is an online independent collaborative music house created by myself California Singer Songwriter Shavon Bonnie Legion with my partners in musical crime UK rapper @clydemajiklegion and Netherlands producers @qrittix. As a multi genre collaborative musician/singer/songwriter I have worked with hundreds of producers and artists both live and over the wires for nearing 10 years. With so many talented people in a wide range of sound fields on my roster I decided to start a collaborative artists house. We release Free singles and Compilation albums showcasing new talents and artists from all over the world. At the end of 2016 I discovered Steemit and knew this was the perfect place to carry on my original music multi genre, collaborative outreach. We dont profit off Artists, WE ARE ARTISTS and we promote artists.

Fellow Steemian and friend @simonkraemer is one of the newest producers and musicians at the Sound Legion core, be sure to follow him as well as he will be showcasing plenty of original rock music for rockheads to eat up, with coming soon tutorial videos and mastering services. Mastering Services currently already available on www.simonkraemer.com

Steemit Artists Music Compilation has already released Volume 1 featuring original music in various genres from artists here on the Steemit Platform. Volume 2, a genre specific Hip Hop/Rap Volume will release in September and an Original Christmas/Holiday song Volume in December.

Artists can submit for each volume (should be about 4 a year) and get exposure on the steemit platform an to other music artists and industry professionals around the world through www.soundlegionrecords.com

Each Volume is free download but steemians are encouraged to donate upvote and support there favorite artists, also with upcoming future steemit innovations like Steem Streams and other possible future files exchange apps or quick steem transfer or donation buttons Sound Legion Compilations will be doing all we can to push artists toward many chances for exposure and possible rewards.
