Seven Beland :: About Us

"Swiss Music to the People" - everywhere - is Seven Beland's motto. But the Swiss market is too limited to provide sufficient room for independent artists. Internet and mobile rules, and artists can take advantage of many and new presentation platforms. Seven Beland offers general guidance.

Founder of Seven Beland (former g r media) -Gabriele Ruttloff- brings her extensive knowledge in marketing, communication, new media and web content to her music business since the turn of the millennium. First as music publisher, Ruttloff successfully placed Swiss music works to major markets .

She managed productions and artists from A to Z, marketed bands online, and expanded to digital distribution in 2004.

In 2006 Ruttloff promoteted the leading Music & Media Futurist Gerd Leonhard. Ruttloff also translated Leonhard's industry bestseller "The Future of Music" to German for the Publisher Musikmarkt in Munich, Germany.

Seven Beland consults artists in online promotion, and offers independent bands and musicians a network of professional services of partners from the areas of label, CD manufacturing, recording studio, promotion and associations.

Another of Seven Beland's business fields are workshops about the business side of music, primarily addressing musicians to provide useful business knowledge for their moves around the music industry.
