Of course. Doesn’t every performer, young or old, want to have thousands of fans and a popular CD that is played around the world?

There is actually a Web site that uses this idea, and the phrase itself.

At www.want2bdiscovered.com budding artists can try to get exposure and publicity through the online world. This may not be much different from other music promotion sites, but at least the name and the “mission statement” put it at the grassroots level. Of course, this short review isn’t meant to be an endorsement of the site or what it offers. This is meant only to open another door in the music world.

The site claims to be able to get record deals and organize performances in front of thousands. The live streaming of “competitions and showcases” could help as well. The site does have an extensive list of performers.

Here’s what some of the promotional material states, “Want2bdiscovered.com has marketed this website to thousands of A&R reps, record labels, managers, promoters, producers & talent scouts so that your new music will get to the most important people in the industry. When someone in the music industry is interested in your music, they will contact us and we will provide them with your music and contact information or they can access your email address and/or phone number listed on your page. There is NO charge for creating a profile! It’s FREE for all Genres of music!!”
