eSession.com, founded by CEO Gina Fant-Saez and 5-time GRAMMY award-winning producer Kevin Killen, is an Internet-enabled, software-based system that allows musicians anywhere in the world to seamlessly collaborate with world-class musicians, producers, mixers and engineers regardless of geography, time zone or computer operating system. By creating an Internet portal that puts session talent and artists in the same virtual arena, handles negotiations between the artist and session talent, and combines robust back-end technology with an intuitive graphic interface necessary for online collaboration, eSession.com ultimately views the progress made in the advancement of computer technology, Internet capability, and digital media as a way to expand the musical creative process.
eSession.com's motto is "One world. One studio." As such, the company's vision is to bring together a music community that will enable musical collaboration on a global scale. By creating an online community for artists that are using digital technology to record their musical projects, eSession is creating a common area for these artists to seek each other out, collaborate with one another, and to break down the traditional and logistical barriers that have previously stood in the way of musical collaboration. eSession.com has now made it possible (and rather easy) for a bass player in Montana to collaborate on a funk track with a drummer from Singapore, and guitarist from Finland.
Another of eSession's goals is to combine technology and world-class talent (called eTalent) to give artists a chance to work with music industry talent in a way they have not had access to before. For the eTalent members, made up of a star-studded roster of over 500 (and growing) of the world's best session talent members including bassist Tony Levin (John Lennon), drummer Jon Knox(Adam Again/Whiteheart), and guitarist Earl Slick (David Bowie), it is an opportunity to increase revenues by providing them with a worldwide client base of artists looking to collaborate with musical icons and impeccably solid professionals. eSession artists can also utilize the names of these session players as a marketing tool to boost visibility, fan base recognition, and/or sales.
