What Musicians Want

According to entrepreneur/lawyer/music manager and enthusiast, Michael Morrison, aside from a lucrative record deal, musicians want...health insurance.

While this country might (finally) be on the verge of long-awaited health care reform, some time will likely pass before actual implementations of such change will take hold; and in that interim, freelance artists are among those in dire need of health care assistance.

...and insurance in general.

Morrison cites several devastating stories where musicians, whose (often meager) livelihood depends greatly on the maintenance and preservation of very expensive equipment, were stripped of the ability to carry on by theft, from which they were unable to recover.

The solution?  Wanduta:  A company, founded by Morrison that's devoted to providing musicians with access to insurance, both health and property, discounts on everything from equipment purchases to hotel rates, and also giving these artists exposure.  With a membership that is free of charge, musicians can buy into a variety of  affordable insurance plans AND simultaneously have samples of their music hosted on a site that will be made available to entertainment industry professionals seeking original material.  MTV is looking to underscore a new show with a great song, but can't fork over the fee to license Dave Matthew's latest hit?  They can go to Wanduta.

With over 100 bands already participating in the program launched earlier this year, Morrison endeavors to make this "the" go-to destination for musicians, producers and promoters alike.

...while making sure the artists can rely on more than just "an apple a day keeps the doctor away."
