Filling 150+ orders a day, CDBaby may be the best sales
organization of Indy Artists on the net |
The CDBaby compound also included Derek Sivers' House... |
which is about as minimalist as it could be.. a grand piano...
a chair.. a couple beds and lots of CD's filled the place. Derek
is focused and amazingly efficient in all aspects... |

Me and Derek after he arrived on a Red Eye from a visit
to the West Coast. Derek got called away at the last moment,
but welcomed me to his home and business even though we had never
met. I stayed there 4 days and really got a feel for how wonderful
his vision and company really is... |
Derek and John, the heart and soul of CDBaby.com are really
setting the example (perhaps the ONLY example) of successfully
selling Independent artists on the Internet. His heart, mind
and actions are all in the right place. What a pleasure it was
to meet him and John. |
