SAN FRANCISCO, CA /  May 25, 2023 / Sanwire Corporation ("Sanwire" or the "Company") (OTC PINK:SNWR), an entertainment technology innovator, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Intercept Music Inc ("Intercept") - a multi-faceted label and artist-centric platform solution provider, are pleased to announce first quarter 2023 financial performance results with remarkable growth and a continued commitment to empowering artists and labels in the music industry.

 

Intercept’s CEO Tod Turner stated, "We are excited to report that our sales were up 58% over the same quarter last year.  This significant growth can be attributed to our ongoing efforts to expand our markets and range of marketing services for artists and labels. We have introduced 26 new services in English and 18 in Spanish for our Latin partners, allowing us to better cater to their specific needs. Furthermore, our partnerships with Indie labels, such as One Pic Entertainment and the Coolio Estate, have played a pivotal role in driving our success." Turner continued, "We have leveraged the knowledge and experience gained over the past years to develop a consistent and structured approach to promoting music and merchandise for our clients and partners. The results speak for themselves. 

 

“In September 2022, we welcomed an artist into our family” said Ralph Tashjian, Chairman of Intercept. “Through utilizing our marketing services, the artist released several exceptional songs, invested $12,000 in our marketing services, and achieved over 4 million streams. As a direct outcome, the artist recently garnered the attention of a major label, resulting in a $250,000 marketing budget and a deal with the label. This success story exemplifies the effectiveness of our platform and the value we bring to artists."

 

Intercept Music's robust growth has been driven by its commitment to technology innovation and a dedicated team. The platform's continual addition of new marketing services has allowed artists and labels to reach wider audiences, gain recognition, and achieve their goals in the highly competitive music industry.

Looking ahead, Intercept Music remains dedicated to supporting independent artists and labels, providing them with the necessary tools and resources to thrive.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – April 25, 2023 - Sanwire Corporation ("Sanwire" or the "Company") (OTC PINK: SNWR), an entertainment technology innovator, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Intercept Music Inc ("Intercept Music") - a multi-faceted music label with cutting-edge, artist-centric distribution and marketing platform, are pleased to provide fiscal year 2022 performance review.

 

The Company’s sole subsidiary, Intercept Music achieved 240% sales growth compared to fiscal year end 2021; breaking records and positioning itself as a major player in the music industry. Fiscal year 2022 revenue increase and performance excellence are attributed to many factors with growth across all major income streams. Major drivers behind the increased revenue are:

 

    -  Number of streams increased by 430% to 130 million streams over year end 2021;

​

    -  Number of partnerships launched in late 2021 and 2022 contributed prominently to the increase in the streaming                  figures. Partnerships such as Method Man; CC Enterprises; Litco Entertainment and many others;

​

    - The Company raised over $1,200,000 for product development, sales & marketing campaigns and customer acquisition;

​

    - Meaningful enhancements to the Company’s proprietary software that have streamlined revenue growth;

​

    - Commitment to innovation, unparalleled service, and strategic partnerships with industry leaders; and

​

    -  Continued additions of new artists and Independent Labels directly to Intercept Music’s platform.

​

The fourth quarter of 2022 saw tremendous growth, with figures nearly equal to the first three quarters of 2022, combined. This exceptional performance is a testament to Intercept Music's marketing efforts, which have helped the Company establish a strong foothold in the music industry.

 

 

“Thrilled with the results, we’re absolutely stoked to report such incredible growth in 2022, and want to thank our clients, partners, and investors for their trust and support," said Tod Turner, Intercept Music CEO. "Our dedication to excellence and providing our clients with top-notch service has been key to our success. Our team has worked tirelessly, and we're proud of the momentum we've gained in the industry to lead us in 2023. Our recent announcement with music legend Coolio’s estate is a confirmation we are able to attract great talent and partnerships."

 

“Revenue growth is expected to continue in first quarter of 2023 as the Company pushes ahead with its multi-faceted marketing campaigns,” said Ron Hughes, Sanwire’s CEO. “Intercept Music's outstanding year-end financial results demonstrate its continued growth and success, empowering musicians with the tools and resources they need to thrive in today's dynamic music industry.”

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – April 17th, 2023 - Sanwire Corporation ("Sanwire" or the "Company") (OTC PINK: SNWR), an entertainment technology innovator, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Intercept Music Inc ("Intercept Music") - a multi-faceted label and artist-centric platform solution provider, are pleased to announce a partnership 1Pic Entertainment, the Coolio Estate and Strategic Media Entertainment for the release of ten new singles and the first posthumous album release for well recognized artist, Coolio. This partnership is very significant to Intercept Music as it represents music from one of the most well-known names in the music streaming business.

 

Artis Leon Ivey Jr. (August 1, 1963 – September 28, 2022), known professionally as Coolio, was an American rapper. First rising to fame as a member of the Gangsta Rap group WC and the Maad Circle, Coolio achieved mainstream success as a solo artist in the mid-to-late 1990s with his albums It Takes a Thief (1994), Gangsta's Paradise (1995), and My Soul (1997). 

 

The multi-platinum Artist whose hit Gangsta’s Paradise rocketed to the top of the charts in 1996 and ultimately gained more than two billion streams, was a true pioneer in the HipHop world earning him a Grammy and six Grammy nominations. The combination of his subsequent music and his movie career kept him constantly in the limelight. His current 1.6 million social media fans and 13 million monthly Spotify listeners still put him in the top 1% of Spotify’s largest artists. Coolio passed away in September 2022.

 

Tag You It , the first of the ten new songs, features well known artists Too Short and DJ Wino and was just released. It will be followed by a series of singles with other well-known artists and accompanying videos that were all in the works before Coolio’s sudden death, and then followed by the final posthumous album.

 

“It took some serious work to get this partnership finalized,” said Bryan Dobbs, CEO of 1 Pic Entertainment. “Intercept Music was there with us every step of the way, working with attorneys and their distributor, InGrooves, and we finally solidified the partnership. We selected Intercept Music because of their incredible distribution through InGrooves, their phenomenal suite of global marketing tools, and support staff.”  The partnership was founded by industry veteran Billy Moss, CEO of Strategic Media Entertainment and a premier label with Intercept Music. 

 

“This is a major milestone for us, and we expect to generate substantial streaming revenues from this partnership,” said Tod Turner, Intercept CEO. “We are very grateful for the trust the Coolio estate has placed with us, and we are really excited to apply our marketing services to this incredible music and tell the world. These fresh new songs are tracks that Coolio was working on right up to the time he passed away. This is our chance to demonstrate to Coolio’s fans, the music industry and to our current and future independent artists how far we can move the needle.”

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 22, 2022 / Sanwire Corporation ("Sanwire" or the "Company") (OTC PINK:SNWR), an entertainment technology innovator, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Intercept Music Inc ("Intercept") - a multi-faceted label and artist-centric platform solution provider, are pleased to announce third quarter 2022 financial performance results.

 

Third quarter 2022 was another record-breaking quarter for the Company, with revenues up 250% over second quarter 2022, and up 350% over third quarter 2021. Three main factors continue to drive revenues - our "everything" dashboard, our growing list of marketing services, and 100% data transparency.

 

The business model is solidifying. Labels continue to be our best source of artists. Since they bring their artist management and understanding of the business side, and they are able to oversee the artist involvement and the music marketing. We make the least margin on distribution, but the music drives demand for the marketing services, which are the highest margin and represent much more gross profit for us.

 

Until recently, marketing services were only available to our customers for music we distributed. In late September 2022, we began offering marketing services to outside artists and labels. Our internal customers receive a 20% discount if they are distributing their music through us. This has led to an increase in marketing service sales, which created another pathway to gain the trust of the artist that can lead to future distribution. As a result, we now have a full-time person identifying and vetting these services, and then prepare them for our reps to take to market. In January 2022 we had five marketing services to sell. Today we have 22 services, with 13 more in the queue. The average spend per new music release continues to rise.

 

We have many labels which have built their entire service offering around our platform. We see labels adding artists and buying marketing services on autopilot now. We've seen increases in the merchandise sales by artist. Our average artist, in terms of streams, marketing expenditures, and overall quality of music, has risen. Nine months ago, our largest artists had 700,000 monthly Spotify listeners. Today our largest has 25 million. Larger artists tend to spend more on marketing too.

 

We see positive responses from sophisticated labels, which has been reflected in some key partnerships. One of the recent ones was the Sapphire group of labels. Across Sapphire's four labels, they will bring their 120 artists over to our platform for distribution and marketing services, they intend to add another 100 artists over the next year, and they just added eight new marketing services for us to introduce to our existing artists and labels including mixing and sync licensing for movies, radio and television.

 

In September 2022, we expanded into the Latin market. Our website and software are now available in Spanish and Portuguese. We have multilingual staff who are trained and able to support every department, from customer sales, support, onboarding, marketing services and distribution. So far, we have 12 Latin marketing services available, including some not available in the U.S. Our new Latin sales team has signed one major Latin Artist (Marcos Menchaca - 1.2 million Spotify listeners), closed a label with 12 artists in Guadalajara and Mexico City, and an artist from Peru.

 

During fourth quarter 2022, we will continue to expand in the Latin markets. We also expect to announce several major global partnerships that will drive US sales in 2023. We will launch more marketing services, and we hope to add more music catalogs.

 

With several successive quarters of growth, the Company will be finalizing its funding and capital requirements for the medium term and should be done by the end of the fourth quarter 2022. We believe that with the explosion of music being created, the success of digital promotion, and the merger activities taking place within the music industry, the time is right now.

 

"I'd like to personally thank our shareholders; we could not have achieved these results without your support," said Tod Turner, Intercept's president. "We've laid out a strong growth foundation and an incredible team to execute."

 

"Intercept Music is proving to be an international force within the music industry," proudly stated Ron Hughes, CEO of Sanwire Corporation.

Most artists struggle to develop and establish connections with domestic and international DJs to heighten their music exposure. Exploiting relationships with high-profile DJs globally, DJ Pool and Playlisting Service promotes all music genres and conveys a versatile structure to cover vast digital reach for fervid artists.

 

Intercept is bridging this gap to elevate the creative works of independent artists everywhere by joining forces with DJ Pool.

Not only do artists have the opportunity to share their music in front of influential DJs worldwide, but they reap the benefits of receiving valuable feedback from tastemakers, data reports, a user-friendly interface, and global exposure to all genres of music.

 

Music submissions are sent to over 5,000 DJs, 40,000 nightclubs, and 2,500 radio stations in hundreds of countries when artists purchase DJ Pool and Playlisting. The service guarantees at least 500 spins with the possibility to accumulate over 2,000 spins. In-depth feedback from critical tastemakers and music industry professionals is gifted to artists using the service. Intercept's platform provides the ability to reveal the DJs your music is reaching and their geographical location through a comprehensive heat map. Participants are rewarded with global exposure by accessing all radio stations and nightclubs playing their music from major commercial markets, large metropolitan areas, and even suburban cities and small towns.

 

Intercept expects this newly created partnership with DJ Pool will increase Intercept's live streaming revenues and potentially start recognizing revenues as early as Q4 2022.

 

"We're excited to partner with Intercept Music and provide Digital DJ Pool promotion services more accessible for labels and artists," said Matt Kearney, Co-founder and CEO of Digital DJ Pool.

 

"Music industry participants, such as record labels, individual artists and video services continue to gravitate towards Intercept's innovative technology platform," commented Intercept's President Tod Turner.

 

"The digital marketing and music distribution that Intercept offers the marketplace is gaining great traction, as we move through the fourth quarter of 2022," quoted Sanwire's CEO, Ron Hughes, "Our exponential growth in total streaming is beginning to take shape. Digital DJ Pools fits very well in our overall organic growth strategy."

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 18, 2022 / Intercept Music announced today a new partnership with Sapphire Records; the brainchild of multi-platinum artist and Grammy-nominated producer, David Veslocki. "Our unique new partnership model with Intercept Music will help artists around the world have the music industry at their fingertips," said David Veslocki.

​

Sapphire Records will build upon the Intercept Music platform, utilizing global distribution, marketing offerings such as playlisting, DJ pools, social media advertising, and professional services such as custom merchandise design. Intercept Music will also provide physical distribution to retailers such as Barnes and Noble and Walmart. With this partnership, Intercept Music offerings will expand to include beat licensing, feature contracting, music mastering services, future audio-visual sync opportunities, and more. The one-stop solutions company also provides attractive elements for artists such as real-time data analytics with 100% transparency.

​

"Intercept Music built the label platform we had only dreamed about, by putting our music expertise together with their platform and services, we think we can blow this up and support a multitude of artists," said Veslocki.

Veslocki is a guitarist, producer, songwriter and label executive, earning multiple number-one spots on the Billboard Chart in over 50 countries. He has been heard worldwide on countless major networks, radio stations and feature films. Veslocki has contributed to numerous Emmy and Oscar-nominated film and show credits, won first place at the International Songwriting Competition and released songs with RCA Records, Atlantic Records, Sony Records, Kontor Records, and 300 Records, along with more remarkable accomplishments.

​

"David's depth of understanding from both sides as a performing artist and label manager offers tremendous insight into how we can work together," said Tod Turner, President and CEO of Intercept Music. "I am excited to get as much of David's expertise built into the platform as humanly possible, our ability to help artists and labels can only get better."

​

Event Horizon is the first new label partnered with Skyfall Music out of Nashville and their founder Craig Wilson. "Craig has done an incredible job of building Skyfall into a formidable competitor in the Country music space," said Veslocki. "Event Horizon will offer a whole new format for indie artists in the country space, where all vetted marketing services are available, along with a staff to help you get the most out of your music." "This new venture will break Skyfall/Event Horizon out as its own structure outside of Sapphire, and this is really big for Craig and Skyfall," Veslocki adds.

​

Constellation is the second new label. It will be a premier, concierge-style label with hand-picked artists from Veslocki. "Our artists at Constellation will be selected based on where they are with their socials, streaming, and development as an artist. Through our partnership with Intercept, these artists will receive special attention, custom-designed marketing programs and access to other marketing services typically only available to major labels."

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 6, 2022 / Intercept Music, Inc., a multi-faceted artist and label solutions subsidiary of the entertainment-technology company, Sanwire Corporation (OTC PINK:SNWR), is going global. This month, the innovative start-up launched global distribution, hired bilingual partners, and integrated their label-suite markup language into Spanish and Portuguese.

​

The announcement was made during Intercept's showcase at the Latin Billboard Awards in Miami last week. "With the partnerships we have in place throughout Latin America, we are well positioned to take advantage of the exceptional growth happening in the Latin markets," said Intercept Music President, Tod Turner. "We are going to be able to help thousands of talented Latin artists amplify their music careers."

​

To date, hundreds of artists and labels have joined the agency worldwide. By partnering with Intercept, music distributes to over 230 countries and over 80 service providers through their worldwide distribution partner, Ingrooves, owned by Universal Music Group. Members can also review detailed data reports, streaming statistics, and their Dashboard in their native language with access to full-time bilingual customer service and account representatives. Also, new visitors can view the Intercept website in Spanish and Portuguese.

​

According to Music Business Worldwide, Latin Music is on course to generate over $1 billion in the U.S in 2022 following a phenomenal 35% growth in 2021. Long-term growth is driven by emerging markets such as Brazil and Mexico, according to MIDiA. In 2022, the global streaming revenue is expected to be larger than the entire Recorded Music Market was worth in 2018.

​

As a complete marketing, distribution, and merchandise platform for independent labels and artists, Intercept Music and its passionate creators have worked aggressively to express inclusion to talent locally, regionally, and globally since the company's start in 2018. Cultivating diversity and worldwide growth, Intercept partnered with Grammy-award winning artists such as Anthony Moses Davis (known as Beenie Man), a Jamaican Dancehall deejay, this summer.

Intercept Music is an earlier riser making global reach and independence possible as a creator for creators. Intercept is a facilitator in the dynamic industry and plans to continue its growth, becoming a fortress for indie artists and labels.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 16, 2022 / Intercept Music, Inc. ("Intercept"), wholly owned subsidiary of entertainment-technology innovator Sanwire Corporation ("Sanwire" or the "Company") (OTC PINK:SNWR), is pleased to provide second quarter results and corporate updates.

​

Sanwire announced full second quarter results of operations yesterday for its subsidiary, Intercept Music, with results a testament to the success of our marketing plans and its ability to push sales. "We made a substantial investment in marketing in the first and second quarter," said Tod Turner, President of Intercept. "That spending is definitely paying off, as evidenced by the news last week of almost a 400% increase in month over month streaming to 8.6 million streams for May."

​

"In the first six months we've added 15 new proprietary marketing services, three advisors, four new partnerships, and over 50 new software updates including royalty accounting, one of the most comprehensive in the industry, all in the name of helping indie artists and labels navigate their way to success." Turner said. "We've also added multiple artists and labels with outstanding talent. Our marketing services are delivering real value, the average spend per new release has quadrupled to over $200 and our artists are winning awards and chart placement."

"When you couple these new partnerships with the new marketing services, major artists and labels that have joined our family, and our catalog success with over 10,000 tracks, we're firing on all cylinders." Said Turner.

"I have been in the business for more than four decades and have seen what works and what doesn't," said Ralph Tashjian, Chairman of the Board of Intercept. "This is definitely working in a big way and producing results quickly and efficiently, a real advantage for our artists. You have to find a way to stand out in this day and age, and these results are proof."
