THERE IS NO NEED TO BE SIGNED TO A MAJOR LABEL ANYMORE,...
Who makes the decisions on whom is hot or relevant, as it applies to the music game these days? YOU! The most profitable record labels are the independents, aka - indies, (statisticly).
The music industry is at a pivotal changing of the guard right now. I remember when the cassette tape and cassette tape players came out and the "Big 6 Major Labels", were loosing their mind, cause they assumed records sales as a whole, would decrease to a point where they couldn't control the game. The same phenomenon happens across the music industry when any new medium, that will allow music to be on to it, i.e., the compact disc, comes along!
Well, that time has finally come to pass,... All you need is a some internet savvy (or internet savvy team), a solid marketing plan (or marketing team), a great 5 year business plan and the ability to produce good music (or have a production team)! Being signed to a label is obsolete in this new ARTIST DRIVEN environment! YouTube, Twitter and FaceBook activity is the most important, if not the main issue, any label cares about now. They compare your social network activity numbers to album/singles sales expectations. So, why not approach sharing your music on the WWW, than waiting for a label to sign you as a slave? And, you're still not guaranteed that your single or album will be put out anyway!
Basically, it's time for whomever wants to try and produce good music for the masses to get your grind on!! Just do the research, develop a plan, pick a great team (production, marketing, business) and release your music on the internet!
Please bare with me while I finish building my blog,...
Much success,
