NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Design Station International, Inc. (OTC Pinks: LDSI) is pleased to announce that two chart-topping recording artists have thrown their support behind Backstage Vibe. Both Rick Ross and Omarion have endorsed this powerful global social music platform.  Rick Ross recently released his new CD titled "God Forgives, I Don't." Omarion released his mixtape titled 'The Awakening' last year receiving great reviews and has since signed on to Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group in May of this year. These talented artists are among the many who have expressed interest in Backstage Vibe™. The music industry is undergoing a dramatic change and the interest is high not only among artists and producers but among music fans as well.

It is estimated that one-third of the global music industry's income was derived from digital revenues in 2011. In the U.S., digital sales channels account for 52 percent of market revenue. For record companies worldwide, digital music revenues saw an 8 percent increase in 2011 to an estimated $5.2 billion. Globally, digital mediums account for an estimated 32 percent of record company revenues. With its innovative features and functionality, Backstage Vibe™ is well-positioned to capture a significant corner of this market.

Additionally, Backstage Vibe™ will support music fans' migration to digital music mediums by allowing artists and producers to sell digital singles and albums. Globally, an estimated 3.6 billion downloads (albums and singles) were purchased in 2011. This was an increase of 17 percent over 2010. The U.S. saw a 10 percent uptick in single track downloads in 2011.
