The first way is to have industry professionals with an established track record shop a deal for you. But, then again, these elusive industry professionals do not return phone calls if they don’t know you or about you. This, then, leaves only one other option: release the record yourself. |

Releasing your own recording and creating a buzz are perhaps the best career routes musicians can take. Not only do they get to make all the business and creative decisions, but they also have almost total control over the product life cycle (PLC) and they can actually make much more money. All successful artists have a very strong professional team behind them before they become successful. This professional team includes a lawyer, personal manager, business manager, agent, music publisher, producer, and a publicist. While there are no secret formulas for success in this irregular music business, there are certain qualities that all musicians must have in order to become successful. These qualities are Originality, Identification, Vocals, Live Performances, Right image, Hit record, Professional team, Contacts, Reliability, and Persistence. |
After you have released your own record independently and sold 50,000-100,000 units, you don’t have to worry about shopping a deal with the majors; they will come to you! The power, then, will augur in your direction and you can virtually dictate how you want your deal to be structured, if you choose to go with a major label at all.
You have been given the basics and a starting point, go from there!
