SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 10, 2012) - Dhingana (www.dhingana.com), the world's largest Indian music streaming service, is branching out from its niche by obtaining its first licensing deal with an American artist and label, Pretty Lights Music. Pretty Lights is an electronic music artist that combines elements of hip-hop, funk, jazz and soul music to produce songs that span across several genres.
"Pretty Lights is excited to be the first American artist featured on Dhingana. We see this as an opportunity to spread the PL fan base to active music fans in India," said Michael Fiebach of Fame House, Pretty Lights' digital marketing team.
The licensing agreement will give Dhingana listeners access to songs from all artists on the Pretty Lights Music (PLM) label such as Gramatik, Michal Menert, SuperVision and Pretty Lights, among several others.
Dhingana hopes to help this label and genre break into the Indian market by allowing this music to be heard by listeners around the world and to encourage other Indie musicians to join the site.
"We are excited to offer Pretty Lights to our millions of eager visitors and break the mold of on-demand streaming services in India," said Snehal Shinde. "We recognize our audience's interest in both Indian and Western music, and we want to give them what they want to hear."
In addition to streaming on the Dhingana website, visitors can stream Pretty Lights Music on Android, iOS, Blackberry and Nokia phones using the Dhingana app.
Currently, Dhingana features a library of over 400,000 songs from 35 Indian languages and genres.
By expanding its music catalog to include artists and labels outside of India, Dhingana is quickly working toward establishing itself as a premier music provider around the globe.
