Babyface Forms Website With Sager, Foster

Three Grammy-winning songwriters have teamed to create Tonos.com. Carole Bayer Sager, David Foster, and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds are partners in the project, which aims to help fans and aspiring artists get a better understanding of the music industry.

The site, slated to debut early next year, will feature active participation from the three partners. Additional prominent participants are to be announced in the next few weeks.

"Most of the music sites that are up now are interesting and I respect what they are doing," Sager told The Hollywood Reporter. "But what I envisioned with Kenny and David was a network that was very proprietary; what we are not is Planet Hollywood. We wanted to give something back to an industry that has been incredible to us. If we could interact directly and allow them to be mentored, guided and discovered, we can empower people by giving them proprietary tools like samples from Kenny and David, and so on. They can profit from our experiences."

The site officially bows Feb. 14; however, a teaser site debuts Nov. 15 with songwriting and vocalist contests. The winner of each contest will be produced by Edmonds and Foster.
