My Virtual Band was co-founded by Scott Mason and Kelly Senecal, two Ph.D. students that wanted to continue playing music after graduating and taking jobs 2,000-miles apart. "Separated by three time zones, we couldn't get together like we used to," stated MVB co-founder Scott Mason. "After developing some web apps to fill the gap, we decided to open it to other virtual musicians," adds MVB co-founder Kelly Senecal. "Working with NMM, we look to take online music-making to the next level."
According to website tracking firm Alexa Internet, Inc., My Virtual Band.com's website ranked 442,348th surpassing other music-oriented websites, including American Federation of Musicians, Alternative Press, Bandname, Future Music, Looplabs, Playguitar, and Revolver.
"We are excited to team with MVB to create a 'first-of-its-kind' interactive music website," stated Jeff Tamelier, President of HOH and former guitarist for Tower of Power and Starship. "We formed an alliance with MVB as part of our current Battle of the Bands Contest and were blown away by the number of entries from musicians collaborating new tunes over the web. It was
so successful, we bought them."
The website will allow bands and solo artists to create personalized websites, join a band, collaborate, and mix tunes. The new site will also provide a multi-channel internet radio station to showcase original songs. NMM will also feature an internet house band, consisting of world-class studio and touring musicians that will provide downloadable, royalty-free loop tracks for use in recording, mixing, and creating original music.
