MusicMatrix.com, born from the genius of parent companies Encounter Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ENTID) and Pegasus Tel, Inc. (OTCBB: PTEL), is pleased to announce today its first donation to Music for Relief to help the relief efforts in Japan. In March, MusicMatrix announced it would contribute 10% of the membership revenues generated from every "Howie D" VIP sign up on its site to help support Music for Relief efforts in Japan. "It gives me great self satisfaction knowing we can help the disaster efforts in Japan," stated Anthony DiBiase, CEO of Encounter and Pegasus. "We can't wait to announce the final donation totals at the end of the Howie D contests with Howie and Music for Relief."
"We are excited to be the beneficiary of this ongoing campaign," commented Whitney Showler, Music for Relief. "It is great to see our industry colleagues, MusicMatrix.com and Howie D, working together to help those in need."
The MusicMatrix VIP Room experience, www.MusicMatrix.com/HowieD, offers fans an insider's view of making the video for Howie D's first single "100" from his debut solo album. VIP members gain access to exclusive pictures, video and content added on a regular basis leading up to the exclusive video premiere and interactive contest. VIP members will also have unique opportunities to remix videos for "100" with never-before-seen clips, special effects and a cutting-edge on-line editor.
"This effort with Howie D is just the beginning of our corporate commitment to helping those in need," stated DiBiase. "I hope in our own small way, MusicMatrix can help make a difference for these disaster victims in Japan, as well as in other community service initiatives with our music artist partners."
