New Game: Independent Record Labels

Remember making the cassette tape or dat tape?( depending on how old you are) or trying to know somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody, who you hope will at least listen to the music you submitted. Somebody listens to it, they call you and say "we have some interest in what you are doing,liked a couple of songs".

Now you have to wait to see if they really meant it and then wait for them to get back to you.Even if they do, they want to mold you into what they want and plan for the best interest of the bottom line because so much money is involved.

A few years ago any musician would have given their right arm to have half of this scenario happen to them.

Well things have changed significantly with the Information Age and the access to a global market via the internet.

Independent Record Labels are everywhere. Some good, some not so good, some are great!

The day of the huge monopoly, corporate driven record company is on it's last leg. There will always be some form of it, but it will never be the same as long as technology is king.

So if you are a musician, songwriter, producer or artist, weigh all of your options and know their are no more limitations..The sky is the limit....really!
