Starting A Record Label ? . . . Article

My best advice is if you can't sell your own music without the title of a record label DO NOT think about starting a record label. If you can't effectively sell music you can't expect to sell another artist. In today's market you do not need a record label, and if you are completely by yourself I would never suggest starting a record label UNLESS you plan on being a record producer.

But an artist will at some point need a team to handle various jobs of a record label.

That's easily debatable up to some point. I work roughly 100 hours a week on my music business, and I've yet to outsource my operation. By the time you do you certainly wouldn't be on here asking questions.

So you handle studio time, web design, recordings, marketing, getting radio play, booking, and publishing.

I'm not aiming to one up you, but I work over 100 hours a week on my music. I learned web design my sophomore year of high school, but I no longer have the programs for it.

I handle most of things myself minus the previously mentioned, and publishing. I will be moving into publishing within a few months when the time comes.

Where can we hear your music?
 
I'm in the middle of rebranding my music so for now there's not a place; but, I am more than happy to create a private link for you. You're more than welcome to message me, and I'll upload something to soundcloud for you.

Brian
yeah I'll leave some comments on your tracks on soundcloud just let us know when it's up

It's not ready for release, but I'm a reasonable person so here's a private link to the WOP. I'll be going over the track in a few weeks with a fresh pair of ears, but in the meantime I'm writing more tracks for my EP I plan on releasing in October. I'd love to hear comments, suggestions, and critical feedback but at this point I feel that it's more than likely proper volume adjustment through personal preference.
