LAS VEGAS, Nev., Dec. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mark R.

Goldston, Chairman and CEO of The Goldston Group, a venture capital and strategic advisory firm located in Los Angeles Century City, has become a board member, strategic adviser and investor of the innovative music discovery platform.

"I am always interested in new ways of doing things and working with companies that are shaking up the status quo. TuneGO is taking a new approach to how artists and bands get fans, get connected and get discovered, which I found intriguing and wanted to be involved with on many levels. Not only am I an investor, but I am on the board and a strategic adviser, working with the executive team," said Goldston.

TuneGO cuts through traditional barriers of entry into the music industry by enabling artists to find and connect with fans, secure licensing deals, distribution and media exposure, and get their music in front of well-known producers and music labels. Producers currently signed on to work with artists include industry greats such as Desmond Child, Ron Dante, Peter Asher, and John "Jellybean" Benitez, among others. There are also distribution and licensing deals with Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play Music, Amazon, APM Music and other partners.

"Of course we are thrilled that Mark is 'all in' and involved with TuneGO in a big way. An extremely successful executive and entrepreneur like him with his diverse experience will no doubt have a positive impact, and we are confident that his input will help us to expand our platform within the industry with more strategic partnerships," said John Kohl, co-founder and CEO, TuneGO. "As we continue to grow and gain more interest, now is a great time for musicians who are interested in really getting their music heard and working with some of the biggest names producers in the business to check out TuneGO."
