IndieMV Media Group to Begin Asian Expansion in Philippines with Appointment of Strategic Board Member

      IndieMV Moves to Open Asian Marketplace and Expand Reach as
     Multi-Billion Dollar Digital Music Industry Continues to Boom
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
IndieMV Media Group, Inc. (OTCBB:IDMV), a company that is
pioneering new business models and social media sites for the
distribution, licensing, and marketing of digital media, today
announced that the Philippines would be the entry point for the
Company's Asian expansion. Utilizing the vast contacts and network of
newly appointed Board member, Sherwin Lim, the Company plans to
capitalize on the opportunities that exist in the Philippines as the
Company's entry point into the Asian marketplace.

   "With the Philippines being one of the fastest growing Internet
and Mobile phone users in Southeast Asia, we feel strongly that using
the Philippines as our entry point into the Asian marketplace would
provide a stable and viable footing for our expansion into the rest of
Asia." Stated Mr. Lim.

   A 2007 PricewaterhouseCoopers study estimates Asia's digital music
industry at over $4.2 billion. Internet users in China alone have
grown from 23 million in 2000 to 162 million in 2007. (Miniwatts
Marketing Group, 2007)

doors as I can in Asia but also providing valuable inputs regarding
mergers and acquisitions and corporate governance".
