Hello, my name is Jersey Budd. I’m a 24 year old singer/songwriter from Leicester and I’ve been asked to write a few words as to why I’ve signed a deal with Bandstocks and not a normal record deal - whatever a normal deal is these days as they’re changing all the time and in ways that don’t seem too good for emerging bands or artists like myself.

I’ve written what I hope will be remembered as a classic album, comparable to heroes of mine like Dylan, Springsteen and Cash. Isn’t that why people write form a band or write songs? It is for me. Bandstocks allows me total creative control over my music whilst giving those that believe in me a free download, the right to buy a special limited signed edition of my album, privileged booking rights, invites to special gigs and also a share of income generated by the album. It’s like a partnership. Or that’s the way I see it.

For someone who knows next to nothing about stocks, shares, business and computers it seems strange that the deal I have signed involves aspects of all of these. As my music is influenced by past artists it may also seem strange that the deal I have signed is one of the first of its kind. Get me now, I’m cutting edge! But seriously, it seems pretty simple to me, especially after meeting those behind the concept of Bandstocks and why they're doing it; they're not fat cats with a cigar looking for the next band to rip off, they're people who work in the music industry because they love music...people like me, and maybe you...
