triniTunes.com is a West Indian music social networking community geared towards promoting and giving exposure to independent artists and musicians from the Islands. Artists and fans are welcome to create profiles, host and share content (music, playlists, videos, photos, performance reviews etc) and connect with each other all for free. The hope is that in some small way triniTunes.com will help to encourage and support the development of the future musicians of the likes of Bob Marley, Mighty Sparrow, Machel Montano, David Rudder, Rihanna, Sean Paul, Shaggy, Rupee, Alison Hinds, Wyclef Jean, Billy Ocean and Eddy Grant that will emerge from the Caribbean to make it big on the world stage.

We are attempting expand the income generating opportunities for West Indian artistes via Internet. Our continuously evolving model for this is based on providing West Indian music lovers with the latest and widest array of music while generating royalty income for the artistes from advertising and sponsorship deals. Two articles that provide some more information on this new and evolving business model can be found on news.com. Here are the links: In the free music space, can CBS succeed where others have failed? and Roadblocks en route to free, legal music. In addition, there is the opportunity for artistes to promote themselves at no cost on triniTunes.com by creating profiles and listings their gigs. This is intended to help them increase the turnout at their shows and performances as well as their CD and digital download sales.

We here at triniTune.com are open to suggestions as to how we can improve on this model to suit the realities of the West Indian artiste. We are also inviting sponsors and advertisers to join with us to take this initiative to the next level and make triniTunes.com a platform of choice for West Indian artistes to promote their work. Enjoy what we have to offer on triniTunes.com and don’t hesitate to give us feedback.
