 Amanda Ridinger, CEO/Founder of Conquer Entertainment®
Amanda is the mastermind behind Conquer Entertainment®. Her passion for music promotion bloomed four years ago as she saw how MySpace gave artists the ability to take control of their own futures. Amanda’s vision since Day One has been to create a system that lets artists publish and promote their own music, grow their fanbases, and still be compensated fairly for record sales. She is getting closer to that dream through the success of Shiragirl, a group of artists actively involved with Conquer Entertainment since its launch in early February of 2010. |
