'''MusicMogul.com''' was an online music world targeting aspiring musicians. They hoped to combine the popularity of social-networking sites, music television shows like "American Idol" and online multiplayer games.
==History== Founded in 2008, Music Mogul was the product of a collaboration between professionals from the gaming and music industries: CEO Nicholas Longano, a video game industry veteran; Chief Creative Officer & Music Supervisor Rodney Jerkins, a Grammy – winning music producer; Chief Talent Operations Ray Brown, formerly with Ribeiro & Brown Management, Nu Life Entertainment and Southern Boy Entertainment.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070209144502/http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/magazine/upfront/index.jsp Billboard.biz]</ref>
==Music Mogul Features==
===Competition=== Registered users uploaded videos or linked YouTube videos to their profile. These videos were auditions for the Music Mogul Competition. Other users can vote on each video a maximum of one time on a scale of 1 to 10. Musicians are rated both on their points and their average rating.
Performers were to be selected by their online peers and an industry panel of judges to win a three-song demo deal with Rodney Jerkins’ Darkchild Productions.<ref>[https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB122663498086327655 Wall Street Journal]</ref>
One live competition was hosted in Los Angeles in August 2009, and was won by Nashville-based singer/songwriter Suzi Oravec.
The site appears to be defunct as of 2010.
