The Death of the Music Industry creates the Birth of Goddess Inc.

Goddess Inc. is a new Music, Fashion, Co-Branding and Charity Company that was formed in response to transforming music business.

(Billboard Publicity Wire) March 9, 2007 -- The music industry is dying a tragic death. The field of music and entertainment is drastically changing and the 5 Major Labels are loosing in the new market-Majorly. They have been slow to realize and adapt to the new revenue streams, consumed by the loosing battle of file sharing, and these fab-5 just don't get the traditional "CD in the store" model is dead. Radio is no longer the primary new music resource. Touring nationally and internationally is now an integral to an artist's success. Welcome to the birth of Goddess Inc.

Goddess Inc. is a newly formed corporation that understands deeply the new music market. Goddess Inc is: Music, Fashion, Co-Branding, and Charity. Fueled by the collaboration of recording artist Heather Schmid and Harvard faculty member Brand Specialist Rafay Mehdi, MD, the new model for music, fashion and charity has found much success internationally.

Goddess Inc. began by exporting the best of America: pop/rock music, fashion, charity, live shows, and the brand "Bring out your inner Goddess". Co-Branding deals with credit card companies, skin care and fashion lines helped to fund live shows in un-tapped international markets. Charity donations and sincere interest in humanitarianism went further to leave lasting impressions with the local people of China, India and Pakistan.

Goddess Inc. has inadvertently been a part of transforming some of the image problems the United States has recently been experiencing with its hard-line political stances internationally. Some of the headlines from performances and interviews have been: "Heather Schmid is a ambassador of peace" (Daily Times-Pakistan) and 'Goodness from a Goddess" (Shanghai Talk).

Heather Schmid is the ideal Goddess Inc. spokesperson. Heather is the rare combination of talent, good looks, and a kind heart for charity. Heather has sung on some of the biggest stages throughout the world. Most recently China, Las Vegas, New York City, pre-Grammy show in LA, on television in the US and through out the world. From a special performances for president of Pakistan, to now traveling internationally for her new album 'The Goddess Within'.
