FSRP stands for Freedom Solutions Recording Plan. It is a new approach to getting artists out into the mainstream and the industry with a stronger recording, a stronger presence and with a great deal more control, all while helping a cause or charity they believe in. This packet presents a detailed “project blueprint” for the artist or band to produce and release a recording through the FSRP, explaining and itemizing everything needed from business plan and pre-production fundraising through recording, promotion, and final release.

The basics of the FSRP are as follows…

	Set up a business plan to outline every step of the recording and marketing process clearly and concisely.
	Show the artist how to find funding through investors or fundraising.
	Make sure an artist is in sole control of their music, their image and their likeness.
	Help the artist sustain their success by introducing them to the full spectrum of sales, licensing and performance options in the industry.
	Empower an artist with the solid industry knowledge and problem-solving skills necessary to make responsible career decisions.
	Create a recording and all related marketing, branding and promotional materials at a level of quality that meets or exceeds industry standards.
	Create a production package that saves an average of 80% over what artists spend on production in Los Angeles or New York.
	Positions the artist favorably by donating a percentage of the recording’s profits to a charity they believe in.
	Allow artists to go forward as musicians, philanthropists, and role models while achieving self-sustainable success.

An FSRP album can then be used by the artist for solicitation to touring agents, talent buyers, managers and distribution groups. The artist also can extend his or her promotional and marketing materials across a diverse media spectrum to establish a higher echelon audience and market share of the genre or genres of the music.

By applying an FSRP album with the other promotional and assisting materials created in the postproduction phase of the FSRP, artists will be delivering an industry standard ready recording to highlight and showcase their talent. They will also present a full package that includes an industry ready sound and image with marketing, promotions and branding in place and ready for today’s market. The FSRP album can also be used to license the music to numerous markets and fields that most groups do not pursue in the early stages of marketing. BGE does not attempt to make artists into famous millionaires. Instead, BGE gives them the tools to achieve the self control and self sufficiency that is possible in today’s market for long term sustainability and long term realistic success.

Our team works with artists to budget every dollar and every minute to make it as effective and productive as possible. Blending an artist’s personal/musical goals with a philanthropic and charitable element, we design a fundraising/investing/loan plan to help raise and acquire the needed budget while giving a percentage of the finished project to charity.

THE END RESULT IS AN ARTIST THAT…
	Releases an industry standard recording without being deep in debt.
	Is giving a percentage of their profits to a charity they believe in and is serving as a role model for other artists.
	Has the basic understanding of marketing, promotions, and the branding needed to succeed and sustain a career in the music industry.
	Has the prepared, detailed materials to solicit and be taken seriously by independent/major labels, touring agencies, management and other representation or talent buying groups.
	Can show the industry as a whole that artists can control and protect their music and their art as they follow their dreams and support others.

The plan shows artists, potential donors of all levels, and friends the details of how the process works. Also offered are all the documents used in the process, including timelines and standard formats to be used throughout any given project. BGE, however, does not make this work for the artist. It is BGE and the artist working together that brings this process and the given project to fruition.

We have created a phase program that helps stream each requirement and each step for the artist to make sure that every detail is dealt with from preproduction to fundraising, music preparation to instrumentation choice. This displays the information needed to bring the project from beginning to completion with the least hassle and the most attention to detail.
