Slicethepie.com, a website that enables fans to run their own record label, estimates that over 30 unsigned artists will secure financing from fans and investors on the site in 2008. They claim that's more UK artists than EMI, Sony BMG or Warner Music achieved last year. In the past six months, Slicethepie's music fans and investors have financed nine artists. Gilkicker, The Alps, The Skies and Miranda Barber are just some of the artists to share in the £150,000 raised so far by Slicethepie's music fans and investors. (Hypebot)
