How can I trust Hong Kong?

It is a former British Colony with the same legal system today, which is in English, including the Government Courts.  This is why it remains the base for most International offices in Asia despite growth on the mainland.

 

Where will my CD be sold?

CD Stores & Book stores.  See some of the stores on the Red Mountain Black site.

 

What contracts do I need to sign?

None, there are no tricky contracts.  If you meet the criteria, and send us the set-up fee and your CD's we will sell them.  When you cancel, we will take down your artist page and return your remaining CD's at the CD Buyer Delivery price.

 

How do I know you will not steal my music?

Hong Kong is the legal capital of Asia, legal action against us is easier than anywhere.  We are offering this as an opportunity to artists.  Our parent label has all the talent it needs, but we would not jeopardize our success by stealing someone's art.  We have over 30 Artists so far, and their Art is safe!  We did sign one of our distribution Members to our parent label with a deal.

 

What fancy features can I have on my Artist page?

Your Artist/Band picture, Bio, contact, plus your CD's with song listings and samples.  You can customize the colors.  You will have Chinese, and an English page!  You will also feature in additional pages Artist by Genre, Artist by Alphabet, CD by Genre, and CD by Alphabet.

 

Can you get my song to radio?

We can try, but we cannot guarantee that, often Radio costs money.  Read up on "Payola".  Do not believe anyone making claims about guaranteed radio play unless you pay them big bucks!!!  US$10,000 for College Radio.  There is always a chance, and we will try, with one CD if you wish, and target the best opportunity.

 

Can you help me find a deal with a Major Label?

No, only if they discover you through our web-site or promotions, in which case you owe us nothing, just cancel at 14 days notice.

 

How do I cancel without any reason?

Send us an email from the original account you registered with us and we will call you to double confirm.  We have no problem with you canceling, and hope that it is because your career progressed.

 

Why do you need 14 days notice to cancel?

So that it does not affect any orders from CD Buyers that may be going through the system.  It also allows us time to deliver you CD's back to you in that time.  Remember we need 4-8 days for delivery.

 

Where do you store the CD's?

We store them in our studio, which is in a 24-hour guarded building with video surveillance.  They are in the same place we store all of our master recordings, under many locks and keys.

 

How much will it cost to send my CD's?

That depends on which country you live in, but we will pay the import duty and customs into Hong Kong for the first batch.  That is as good as it gets!

 

How can you deliver so cheap?

We don't profit from delivery, the fee covers customs, tax, duties.  In some cases if it costs us more it comes out of our profit. We feel that we need to keep delivery competitive to maximize YOUR chance of selling you CD from our site.  Also, It is easier for us to have one price.

 

Will you feature any other languages later?

Yes, as demand grows and we penetrate new markets.

 

Why have I never heard of you?

Because we only started in 2005, actually we established the company around September 2005.  We we operating earlier by conducting research, doing our legal checks, building a studio, making music, setting up our web-site, and other preparations for becoming an official music publisher.  But our distribution offering does not include publishing, contact our parent company for that.

 

Is this a Record Deal?

No, just physical distribution, promotion and Asia representation.  Is giving some CD's to your local record store to sell a record deal?

 

Why is everything in United Stated Dollars?

The Hong Kong currency is pegged to the US Dollar, plus it is a currency everyone can easily convert.  CD Buyers will buy in their own currency, but bands will deal with us in US Dollars.

 

Why are you being so generous?

We do not like the way the music industry is run at the moment, it discriminates against those with artistic vision and talent. We love music, and we can help true Artists get their music heard and maybe sold.  At least you have someone who can push the product in Asia to retail clients in their own language and allow them to pay in their own currency.

 

Isn't Hong Kong in Japan?

No, it is a part of China.  In 1997 it was handed back by the British after a 99 year lease that was agreed upon to end the Opium Wars.  The Opium War was started as a dispute between China and England regarding the trade of Opium for Tea.  The resolution of the lease established Hong Kong as an Asian powerhouse which has largely been left untouched by the Central Government of the People Republic of China due to its economic and social status.  If you are from the USA, think about the connection between the British and the actions of the Boston Tea Party.  Tea was gold!

 

Hong Kong has been rated as the Number 1 place to do business as a foreign country for the past 3 years and enjoys strong support of the international finance community.
