CASH Music For All

Donita is pleased to be a part of an entirely new musical endeavor, the Coalition of Artists & Stakeholders - CASH Music, along with Krisitn Hersh. Soon to be open to all artists, CASH Music represents a new music business model that cuts out the middle men (record labels) and brings the music directly to the fans. Through Creative Commons licensing, the fans are also encouraged to create their own mixes and participate through other forms of creative response. With direct connection and support from music lovers, CASH Music hopes to create sustainability for artists and loosen the reins on music accessibility for fans.
