Ballerz Mixtape started up as a line of home-made compilations of music promoting up-and-coming Artists from Canada and the U.S.

These tapes would take songs from Major Label artists, and essentially merge them with that of the Indie Artists…all while sequentially beat matching each song, creating seamless mixes of Hot tracks mixed by DJs and Producers from all over North America.  These mixtapes were produced in home basement studios and independently released. Each Mixtape would have a “For Promo Use Only” label placed on the covers.

Creating a Buzz in the Montreal/Ottawa area of Canada, these tapes began receiving support from indie labels, promoters, and DJs all over.  The result allowed these Unsigned Artists to get their music heard, which eventually caught the attention of Major Labels and Distributors nation wide…giving the opportunity to enter the music business and thrive. Now more than ever, Artists need online platforms to release their new music and videos. The concept of Mixtapes still exists for Artists (signed or unsigned), as it now becomes a race for streams and playlists on digital music networks worldwide.

The Ballerz Mixtape brand stays committed to provide hot content from the up-and-comers and the majors alike. So stay tuned, and keep your ear to the streets…
