When you’re really low and on your way up the ladder of making it in life as a musician crafting and maturing your art of music, a record label is the ideal place for you to be at. As you already know the other way around to the top is a real hustle and normally it will take you a very long time to climb to the top.
Once you join the label of your choice, at first it all makes sense you’re in business because the Label foots all your bills from videos, tours and pretty much any small event that requires subscription. Your happy and probably love your musical art status since everything seems to flow on well…smooth operation.
Things get real after your album sales, you realize the money isn’t coming in the way you expected, though you’re winning awards and your fans expect you to be with money yet in reality the Label takes most of the cash said quite a lot of musicians who left record labels to pursue solo careers after making names in the game.
A lot of musicians certainly quit or don’t want to join, when they come across other platforms to distribute and promote their music and actually make more money than they normally would under a record label. Platforms like websites, social media and iTunes just to mention but a few, have really put a smile on most musicians’ faces because of the remarkable out comes they’ve got without record labels.
A record Label is really good though because you get to meet and make “collabos” with fellow musicians, you would not normally get on your own riding solo. Come on guys do you and the best advice is just follow your heart’s desire and passion. Wish y’all the best peace out.
