RockSTAR Music ( www.rockstarmusiccorp.com / www.myspace.com/rockstarmusiccorp ) was founded in October of 2006 by Michael Hektoen and Adam H. Hurstfield . Together, they have assembled a powerhouse Team of creative, marketing and business professionals with over 200 years of active industry experience and success. This formidable group has earned over 125 Platinum and Gold albums as certified by such International organizations as the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Canadian Record Industry Association (CRIA). 

RockSTAR Music Corp has become the &#8220;it&#8221; independent Record Company in Canada continuously releasing hit song after hit song from Artists including; Rosette, Bianca, Marika, Live On Arrival, Sy&#8217;Rai, Jeff Martin (former lead singer of the Multi-Platinum group, THE TEA PARTY).

According to Michael Hektoen, President and CEO of RockSTAR Music, &#8220;The core objective of our online efforts is to connect the ARTIST directly to the FAN.&#8221;

Hektoen added that the Music Industry is undergoing major change. &#8220;While the major labels attempt to resurrect their former prominence, music continues to propel new products and companies like iPods, mobile technology devices, You Tube, My Space, Yahoo and AOL. To support our traditional music operations, RockSTAR will continue to bring exciting new music directly to fans of all ages using monetized technology,&#8221; he said. </description>
