Connor Franta, a top YouTube comic vlogger, best-selling author and entrepreneur, is now getting into the music biz.
Franta, who counts 4.7 million fans on YouTube and 3.2 million Twitter followers, has formed Heard Well, a music label focused on producing compilation albums featuring undiscovered artists as curated by digital “influencers.”
Franta’s partners in the venture are his manager, Andrew Graham of AwesomenessTV’s Big Frame unit, and Jeremy Wineberg, who will continue to run his Opus Label music distribution and licensing company. Heard Well has signed with digital stars Amanda Steele, Lohanthony and Jc Caylen — who collectively have more than 20 million fans across YouTube and other platforms — to assemble albums featuring their favorite artists.
That's cool
Can't wait for all the annoying atrl members saying "why do all of them have to make music" blah blah blah but then they find out that it's a compilation album company
YouTubers are damned if they do, damned if they don't.
