Drekijǫrd Records

Templar Records is building a community of independent artists seeking financial and promotional support for future releases and music fans eager to take part in the production of new music. With the launch of T-Rex, a fan-driven record label, music fans have the opportunity to discover, fund, promote emerging artists and earn rewards for promoting the projects released through T-Rex. With the pro

motional support of the community of fans, and the professional support of T-Rex, musicians have the opportunity to expand their fan base, fund their recording projects, and produce and promote their music. The site merges the best characteristics of both record labels and crowd funding platforms, providing independent musicians the financial means and professional backing to produce and market high-quality releases, while maintaining their complete creative freedom and copyright ownership of their works. Unlike other crowd funding platforms that focus entirely on the funding aspect of creative projects and leave the production and promotion of the end product entirely to the artist, Hooked X Rex brings professional experts to support the entire production, promotion, and release of their project. T-Rex provides fans with a personal experience on the site, offering them project recommendations based on their personal taste in music. Fans can then support the music they discover by purchasing exclusive project items to fund the production of the project. Once a project goes into production, fans are encouraged to help promote the project and its release by spreading the word on their social networks. T-Rex pledges twenty-five percent (25%) of the net sales and licensing of the recordings to go back to the top promoters in the form of points, redeemable in the T-Rex store for music, merchandise, concert and festival tickets, and more. T-Rex aims to foster an engaging and long-lasting experience between the fan and the artists they support that is mutually rewarding. Anyone can sign up as fan and help fund T-Rex projects. Artist sign-ups are currently by invitation only, but T-Rex does accept submissions and is looking to aggressively add more projects to represent a wide range of music. About T-Rex
