BOOSWEET CEO VERNON NEILLY DEFENDS MP3.COM at INDIE NATION CONFERENCE!

LA, CA -- October 25, 2000 -- CEO/PRES. Vernon Neilly of Boosweet Records Online, sat in on one of the panel discussions at the recent INDIE NATION CONFERENCE held last weekend in Los Angeles. The subject of the panel "PLAYING THE INTERNET TO WIN", discussed the effectiveness of online music distribution (OMD) sites like MP3.com, and Napster for new and emerging artists trying to get their music out to the masses.

One of the panelist Jill Johnson, who has more than 10 years experience in the music and internet sector, downplayed the importance of such sites like mp3.com and Napster in providing exposure to new and aspiring artist's music. This prompted Vernon Neilly to defend MP3.com, stating that the company provides a unique platform for new music to be heard on a worldwide scale.

"I know from experience that MP3.com is an invaluable promotional tool for any new artist wishing to be heard, not locally, not nationally, but worldwide! Take the bottom line. My artist page on MP3.com has been instrumental in taking advantage of opportunities to license our products in different parts of the world. Or take networking. Ive established more relationships with members of the industry through our urban radio station, which is ranked #1 in its genre on MP3.com. As the head of an online label, this is key to expanding our roster and business opportunities."

Tracks from Mr. Neillys CD "Kaleidoscope" is currently ranked in the top 10 of the Urban Contemporary Charts. His label MP3.com radio station, Boosweet Records Online MP3 Station 2, has climbed to #28 position in mp3.coms overall ranking as well as #1 Urban Station, which features some of the top ranked artist's on mp3.com in their respective genres.

After the panel, Mr. Neilly was bombarded by artists in attendance wanting to know more about how to take advantage of the music site known as mp3.com. If you are an mp3.com artist, and would like to know how to effectively promote your music through this platform, or if you would like to know the procedure for joining, you can contact Mr. Neilly at info@boosweet.com.
