a short introduction to Kind Of Girl, written for potentionel sponsors

1. Kind Of Girl
Kind Of Girl is based in Copenhagen Denmark where they produce their radio strong and highly commercial
Alternative Pop – yet unique and with the right Scandinavian touch that makes originality come to life – pure
Indie. Pop with depths grounded in mature and intellectual approach combined with the freshness of youth
rock and roll. The band keeps strong barriers around their image so industry demand won’t shape the music
but the music will certainly appeal to business with the broad fan appeal. Business’ branding around the
topics of ‘need of uniqueness’ and ‘young – and on my way..!’ and.. ‘pure individualism’ will most likely find
the music fit for partnership when it comes to strengthening the image, for both band and business. It has to
work both ways to be of true value. This is why Kind Of Girl will not sign with any co-sponsors before clearing
with existing sponsors, to reassure full circle satisfaction.
Having full control over music rights, master tapes etc and owner of their own Indie record label – trak2r
records – Kind Of Girl is ready to move in new directions within hours. Studio and producer and web
promotion are all ‘in house’ of trak2r record. Indie all the way – and yet commercial minded.
Beside of strong music, Kind Of Girl is all about web appearance. Having developed a brand new fan site
with promotion competition they expect to expand web activity severely. Besides of that the band is present
on more than 20 of the leading music- and social sites.
Being in the extreme front of self-promotion they have included their manager in the band, thus securing best
possible communication and equality in the daily work. And daily means 6-7 days a week. With more than a
1000 business contacts around the world, the manager is a busy man developing the company of Kind Of
Girl - trak2r records and expanding territory.
Main focus is currently the second album of Kind Of Girl, release ready in January 2010. And on the
management front they focus on film- and advertisement synchronisation and sponsor partners.
