MUMBAI: On achieving the landmark of 500,000 musicians on its BandPage, Facebook has launched new features for the artistes on its timeline.
The social site has updated the timeline layout for the Bandpage enabling larger canvas with 810 pixels allowing artistes to promote music and video.
The BandPage has also announced a partnership with rights collecting society SoundExchange, who were able to uncover unpaid royalties for more than 9,000 artists totaling over $2 million. Bandpage director of business development Chris Wiltsee said in a statement, “Helping artistes to be more successful is core to the mission of BandPage. We’re really excited to be able to find so much unclaimed revenue for working bands, and to help them connect with SoundExchange so that they’ll collect royalties moving forward.”
The transition of the updated timeline on all Facebook Page will take place on 30 March.
