VoxPop Worldwide Adds Music Industry Vet John Boyle to Advisory Board

Premiere Internet Music Aggregator Continues to Add Proven Industry Leadership

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- VoxPop Worldwide, Inc. (OTC: VOXI), a leader in music aggregation and digital distribution, today announced the addition of 20-year industry veteran John Boyle to the company's advisory board. Boyle, most recently the President of start-up music opportunity engine Hello Music, has been a driving force in the industry, having represented multi-platinum artists and been involved with some of the best known music festivals in the world.

"We are extremely fortunate to have John join us at VoxPop Worldwide," said Josh Eikov, President/CEO of VoxPop. "His experience - both recent and career-spanning - fits right in with what we are doing with both emerging and undiscovered talent. He is a leader in the sparsely populated world of new music discovery and we know that his insight will help us exceed our expectations."

"Having worked in so many different sides of the music industry - musician, talent manager, tour producer, major label A&R and marketing exec - I have a good idea of what it takes to succeed in this ultra-competitive business," said John Boyle. "VoxPop has such a diverse collection of holdings and an amazing core group of leaders, that they will be in a great position to help break and sustain new artists. I look forward to being a part of that."

John Boyle has a lengthy and distinguished career, including:

The launch of Extreme Consulting, a music marketing and special events production company that worked properties including the ESPN X-Games, US Open of Surfing, MAGIC Fashion Trade Expo, Action Sports Retailer (ASR), and promoted and produced concerts with acts including No Doubt, Foo Fighters, Run DMC, The Offspring, Blink - 182, Chemical Brothers, and Prodigy.

Assisting the launch of the Vans Warped Tour in 1994, overseeing marketing during the tour's first two years. Owning and producing the SnoCore Tour, an annual national concert tour celebrating extreme winter sports for 11 years. At SnoCore, he brought in high-profile sponsors and showcased then up-and-coming artists such as The Black Eyed Peas, Incubus, Sublime, Blink-182, System of a Down, and Seether. He sold SnoCore to Wind-Up Records in 2007.

In 1994, Boyle joined Giant Records and followed that with executive stints in A&R and Marketing with both Virgin Records and Warner Brothers Records. Boyle began managing acts in 2000, signing then-unknown Alien Ant Farm whom he took double platinum on their debut album. In 2002, Boyle joined Sanctuary Music Group where he signed multi-platinum rapper Xzibit, launching his TV career as star of MTV's Pimp My Ride and his subsequent film career.

After Sanctuary, Boyle started The Boyle Artist Management Group (The BAM Group), a boutique talent management and entertainment production company that represented more than 20 artists, actors, models and action sports athletes.

Besides VoxPop, Mr. Boyle is an advisor to The Daily Love (thedailylove.com), and Rotocade (rotocade.com).

The United States is the largest digital music market in the world. In 2010, revenues from digital channels accounted for almost half of record companies' US trade revenues, driven by a combination of increasing digital revenues and the sharp decline in CD sales caused in part by the closure of physical retail stores across the country. Single track unit sales increased by one percent in 2010, with digital albums up 13 percent, accounting for 26.5 percent of total US album sales (Nielsen Soundscan).

VoxPop Worldwide specializes in delivering digital media, in the form of music/video download and Internet radio, through such diverse partners as Beta Records, SongCircle.com, Dympol.com and its proprietary MediaPal download solution.
