Do I have to be a Christian to sell my music on Holyculturedownload.com ?

Holy Hip Hop exists to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

If you aren’t a Christian, then why not ? Love, Peace, and Joy come through Jesus Christ alone. Justice, Righteousness, Generosity, Grace, and Fairness are foundational Christian Principles, taught and lived out perfectly by Jesus Christ alone. If you want to grow in your relationship with God, read the Bible. If you want Peace in life, confess your sins to Jesus Christ today!

If you have questions about anything at all regarding faith in Christ, email andy@Holyculturedownload.com or any of the Holyculturedownload.com staff.

Speaking of Justice and Fairness, what's to stop someone buying my music downloads and then putting them in KazAa or Gnutella?

Nothing. File-sharing is a part of the modern music experience and it's not going to go away. However, many people use file sharing to find songs that they couldn't otherwise get hold of. And don't forget that people will pay for music if it is good and well-priced...

Think of it this way - with Holyculturedownload.com , you get access to a global audience and these people can listen to you and buy your music. If only a few people buy your songs, that's a few more than you would have had otherwise. What do you really have to lose? Don't let a few file-sharers stop you reaching your fans.
