This Is The Only Way To Start A Record Label
In recent times digital distribution has brought a new light to the distribution of music in the world at large making record labels a strong bedrock and foundation to distribute the songs of young talented individuals.
Creating your own record label today is not a very difficult task when you are able to get your hands on good music and a loyal group of people willing to share and distribute your songs on all their social media platform, we usually call this group a fan base.
You don’t necessarily need to have a bank filled with funds before you could kick off, all you need is a passion for music and few friends who are willing to partner with you.
The first thing to be done is getting a Brand Name (a name for your new label).
Draft a goal you want to accomplish. this step is quite easy as you already know what you want the label to be like, kind of artist you need to join you and a person to manage you.
After drafting your goal, create a plan to accomplish those goals.
Get a budget. This is one of the most crucial part of starting a label, like I said before you don’t have to break the bank. Just draft what you can afford for artists recording and promotional purposes for profit generation.
Hire A P.R. – A P.R is someone who links your brand with the public, He drafts all the promotional strategy of making your brand heard, interacts with fans etc. A P.R is one of the most important part of your brand and should be someone who has passion in music distribution.
Record song and send to your hired PR for physical and online distribution.
Lastly don’t be too greedy with members of your team, share reasonable profits with them to encourage hard work on other follow up songs
NOTE: The music industry is a big house abhorring so many talented individuals specialized in different genres of music available in the world today, do not sit back and wait for a big or already established record label to come get you a mouth watery deal and make you an overnight star, if you apply this principles carefully you can break the bounds and become a star by your own efforts and also save other young talented artiste you know around as this will make the music industry a nice and more competitive zone for good music.
