Dear Up & Coming Artists: 5 Reasons You Don't Need A Record Label To Blow by RapportNaija(m): 11:08am On Apr 16, 2017 |
5 Reasons Why You Don’t Need a Record Label Dear potential Super Stars, are you depressed because you can’t find a Record Label to sign you up? Are you sad because no Record Label believes in your artistic skills? Here are 5 solid reasons why you do not need a record label to “blow”: 1. Record labels are just like banks looking to only loan you money Very true, record labels are just like banks which are venture capitalists firms looking to only make profits on investments. What many recording artists believe is that when they sign a major distribution deal with a record label, they have “blown”, and that is not always the case. Signing a major distribution deal is not winning a lottery. With the rise of digital marketing, the cats have been let out of the bags because we now know that labels’ business model is dying. Labels do exactly what banks do, that is the loan you money at interest, and when they can’t recoup all that money by sales, they would deep hands in your pocket and get it one way another. That’s when lawyers would be invited and law courts will become the new recording studio. You should know this; some of the artists that look extreme successful having sold CDs actually took their advances and invested it in some other businesses that had nothing to do with music in order to pay the labels to get off their backs. But with the recent digital media boom, all these parasitic record labels and managements are becoming somewhat of worthless entities. The integrity of the music industry has long been compromised because of the greediness of record labels, sucking artists flat and hanging them out to dry. Now that artist can market themselves easily online, we are able to see that record labels are exactly like banks. 2. Record Labels are dying off.
