    I am getting your record label course tomorrow when I get paid. I bought the sync course and it was so helpful that I know the label course will be incredible. I've been looking for this kind of help. Thank you for what you do. I'm also thinking about going more direct to audience with my music rather than streaming.

    I think the most important part about building is disregarding all the false narratives & working at your own pace during all that's goin on in the world..especially if you want to do it the correct way. 💯

    For most musicians becoming a record label was never part of the dream, the thpught of doing so now comes from realizing you have an opportunity to cut out a cold hearted third party from owning 75 % or more of you're creations is what motivates the idea of becoming a record label yourself.

    What about the ones who are talented and doing this stuff but don't know the right people. It just seems like if you don't know anybody, you can't be anybody.

      I feel like “what you know” still has the ability to bring you to the table with “who you know” and will keep you at the table. The use of them both is key, iron sharpens iron💯

      You should invest in promoting yourself. You don't have to know anybody. Invest in yourself and getting your content in front of possible fans. It takes money to make money no matter what.

    I'm a professional stagehand, and I am also a hard rock and metal lead and rhythm guitarist whom does all of his music production, songwriting, album artwork, digital artwork, etc. I do it all. because being independent from a trashy industry that of which I am strongly passionate about doing what I love, and getting paid to do what I love... I'd rather be independent.
    It's a very rough and tough industry to even work in. No matter how you look at it. Even being a professional stagehand is a very frustraighting industry by itself. The politics that are involved are ABSOLUTE TRASH.

    This is my favorite channel right now. I got your course last night. Can you talk about United Masters? Do you get better deals with a distributor if you are a label? I have 2 other artists that I am planning to have on my label once I get everything registered.

    • @TopMusicAttorney
      @TopMusicAttorney  5 місяців тому

      Absolutely, you can negotiate deals with your distributors and have more leverage with the more artists you bring to the party.. I've gotten a few requests for United Masters. If I get a few more I may do a video. I'm super excited you got the record label course last night, I think I saw you order come in after the livestream. Looking forward to going through it with you. 😀

    I've made 4 albums and 150+ songs on Udio in the last 2 or 3 months. I've now made a YT channel, though I need to fix it up a bit and correct some stuff. Still haven't uploaded content, I want to secure copyright first. That means more to me than monetization, but I'd like that too, of course. 😉

    After actually contacting this office and talking to some dude I specifically stated I will only do business with Krystle. The reason why is because men are super narcissistic. I sent over the authentic contract and this guy emailed me back insulting my intelligence thinking I'm dumb enough to have a fake contract. We spend time at the celebrity mansion and recorded the songs at the mansion and was handed the contract in person. This guy only wanted to add extra $2000 in fees stating that if I want them to research to see if the contract is real then that's the extra cost 😂 wow. That's why I only do business with women. He didn't even tell Krystle I guarantee it. I'll find another lawyer. He's going to be the reason they lose business. I was going to actually tip like 10k but I refuse to have my intelligence insulted. You failed.

      That's great that you started a label. I just released a course yesterday on building record labels. There's quite a few members who have already have labels that are in the program to fill in any gaps that they are missing with their own business. They found it very helpful. What does your label specialize in?

    I want to create a great alternative to the existing streaming platforms for music lovers that also addresses the problems with capitalism’s involvement, with grifters, etc. I just don’t know adopt the revenue model, one that would provide that to the artists fairly and also undercut the shot out of the Spotifys. I want to prove the superiority of intelligence with benevolence over intelligence with greed. I’d love to be hated by the companies serving stakeholders.

    Just started a uk label myself. It’s more about putting my own music out really and thought best way to do it. I’m pressing 100-200 vinyls and it’s been quite stressful but the main thing that’s really helped for a new label is getting a good distributor… I’m not making money at the mo but it’s all about growing my social media and getting the name out. Sm is so important it’s the main thing I’m concentrating on but thinking up content is not easy. A lot of mistakes made along the way but every release I’m learning from this… it’s still early days but great to see the progress each time I put out.
    Thanks for this advice. Only just discovered your channel but gonna really start working on it more professionally. Think you can really help me grow. Nice one
