I thought they would be a perfect fit for our new program so I then signed them to a worldwide single deal with us. I believe their music will be able to grow and cross both rap and rock genre. They have a big sound and their music sounds like it should be part of a soundtrack for a movie. Affluent is currently expanding not only its music formats but also its business model structure. We are currently focusing on more Artist development programs for our artist, label and consumers. We have learned how to embrace the Digital Era and now have the ability to give more artist more freedom, more room for creativity and provide for them a platform for more artist development and as well as the chance to get their music heard faster by bring back SINGLE DEALS for artists. “ says Sanchez.
