50 Cent Rings Up Zingy
NEW YORK, Aug. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Zingy (http://www.zingy.com/), the leading mobile media company in the Americas, today announced an agreement with recording superstar, 50 Cent. With this agreement Zingy becomes the worldwide, exclusive distributor of ringtones, ringback tones, voicemail greetings and images, featuring original voice recordings from one of hip-hop's most notorious artists.
Mobile users around the globe will be able to personalize their phones with voice recordings and images from one of the most successful artists in mobile music history. On any given week, 50 Cent's runaway success in recorded music has been mirrored by the incredible sales of his polyphonic ringtones.
"As one of the best-selling artists in mobile entertainment, 50 Cent's In Da Club and Wanksta have become fixtures on Zingy's polyphonic ringtone sales charts," said Zingy COO Andy Volanakis. "It was a natural extension for us to partner with 50 Cent to build on that success with mobile voice and image content."
Mobile voice content allows celebrities to flex their creative muscles and tailor original recordings specifically for the mobile phone environment.
"I chose to connect with Zingy because it allows me to venture into the world of telecommunications through mainstream media," said 50 Cent. "I'm doing things that don't usually go with artists of my lyrical content. I will continue to break boundaries through all industries as long as people embrace it."
50 Cent mobile voice and image content will initially be available on AOL(R), Boost Mobile, *MTV, Nextel, Sprint PCS, T-Mobile and Zingy.com, with additional global deployments to be announced throughout the year.
