May 14, 2009 New York, NY- Oscar Sanchez CEO of NYC#1 Urban Digital Indie powerhouse Affluent Records expands his labels roster as he announces the signing of Orlando, Florida's underground hit sensation rock/Rap band The SBGz.
"We are very happy to be able to have the opportunity to sign and distribute under Affluent Records more great new artist like The SBGz. The SBGz is comprised of the most amazing group of talented musicians coming from the Orlando, Florida region. Although the band only recently formed together as group radio program directors, dj, on air personalities, critics and many industry tastemakers already compare their sound to a Linkin Park meets Public Enemy 2009. "Their music attacks the Rock and Hip Hop genre with an infectious power, working with the SBGz is so great for Affluent because it allows us to expand our roster of music and expand our market share into the rock world." says Sanchez.
Founder of Dirty Bakerz, an independent hit record production company /marketing imprint and VP of marketing for Affluent Records, Mr.Shaff brought the attention of The SBGz over to CEO Oscar Sanchez of Affluent Records. "Once Shaff played me their music I spoke with them, heard their passion and ability to book their own touring. 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.
