Music Business: Record Deals

One thing that stands out about a record deal is that it is strictly business. People usually see been signed into a record label as an escape route from their struggle as an up and coming artiste.

Let me tell you what a record label does basically for an artiste;

They Give the Best Environment to do your Music:

When you are signed in by a label, you have the leverage of concentrating fully on your music; it's a full time job. You go to the studio like you're going to the office.

They give you a car, a house, an interview and all that you need to be comfortable. Why? So you can be comfortable doing the job. What's the job - singing or instrumentation.

It's Strictly Business:

Many young musicians miss it when they hear a record deal. They often make the mistake of jumping right into the deal without properly thinking about the consequences or the modus operandi of the deal. One thing is to ensure to carefully read through the contract before signing it.

The Implication of this is that your talent is now treated as your work. Also, you're making money for the company, so you go all out; you are the company's investment, and investments yield profits.

I'll stop here today. So the next time you here about record deals, look carefully and weigh the interest of the label and yours.

There is the business side of Music and if you must make progress, you must learn the ropes.
