If you have good songs and a real desire to make music, the next thing to do, instead of approach record companies, is to get yourself a really good manager because then it allows you to focus on your profession of being a musician. Then they can focus on the darker art of the record label and the music industry. - James BluntThis is 2018 where art seems to be synonymous with business, especially music. Earning a livelihood is a lot easier now than it was ever before. You do not need to stand on metro stations and sing while you wait for someone to notice your talent, like Ed Sheeran. All you need is a mobile phone and a working internet connection to start earning. However, the internet does not promise any signing bonuses, royalties, publishing or endorsement, well the last one may be but, maybe. What internet can do for you is bring you closer to the labels and get you noticed. Once again, this is 2018 where SoundCloud rappers are getting signed, the sound is all the more international, the sphere is flooded with young, fresh and hungry artists. To all these bright lights and neon lamps that read – ‘Sign Here’, there is a situation, the one that one calls ‘Catch 22’. According to Wikipedia, it means:
A catch-22 is a paradoxical situation from which an individual cannot escape because of contradictory rules.Now that you understand all of what is being said above, let’s focus on what’s more important – the labels and monopolies. Just signing a label doesn’t promise you success, it’s just like the internet, just a little more hostile, harsh and hard. No, we are not saying that all the labels are the same that’d be a sad statement for anyone and blasphemous to the few good ones out there. There are a few reasons as to why someone signs to a record label. The reasons may include fame, money, recognition, reach and a lot more. The labels are more like a boss that wants you to do your work, his work and little more for the least possible remuneration.
You are here because of your fans and they would want to listen to more of what they already have and what they expect not what the label bosses suggest. You should have the 100% creative control over everything you create. - Says The Projekt
