The Filipino Composers Development Cooperative (FILCOMDEC) and the Kapisanan ng mga Broadkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) have formed an alliance in a joint venture project that aims to rekindle pride in Filipino music. The new movement formally launched on September 15, 2010 at the New Horizons Hotel, Mandaluyong City with members of the press, music industry personalities and radio station icons in attendance. There will be a music download site, www.clickmusic.com.ph, which focuses on promotion and sales of Filipino musical creations.
The concept for Click Music spun from a series of brainstorming meetings between FILCOMDEC and KBP., FILCOMDEC Chairman Joey Ayala said that aside from providing an impetus to the creation and wider promotion of Original Pilipino Music or OPM, the project also aims to improve the benefits accruing to Filipino composers. KBP Chairman Jun Nicdao, on the other hand, said that the alliance will generate more and better music content for airing by KBP member stations.
As a business model, the Click Music website offers some unique components. This is the first project that brings composers and radio networks together towards a unified business direction anchored on creative industries initiatives with a tighter focus on copyright ownership in the value chain during the production and distribution of creative content in the music industry.
2. Work in close consultation with the different stakeholders in the Philippine Music Industry such as the composers, publishers, sound recording rights owners, artists/performers, broadcast media and all other parties who might have a stake in the Philippine Music Industry.
The projects are expected to reinvigorate the Filipino’s pride as a nation rich with talent.
