webgyrl Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 Awe! Thanks so much leezard! I'm in the process of recording a Christmas album that will be out this coming October and my sophomore ('Polyphony')will be out in the Spring of 2004. Just trying to learn about web design and lots of other things as well as all the recording... getting very little sleep LOL But I'm having a blast and this forum has helped me learn a lot of new things that are just amazing. Thanks for the encouragement Nat Quote
leezard Posted July 5, 2003 Author Posted July 5, 2003 I have a good friend in a band that has been busting there butts for years and are starting to take off, they put out there 3rd cd not long ago on brando records (small indy label) not long after that universal took notice. they are going to have a song on the american pie 3 soundtrack. I'm glad they are making it, but i'm gonna miss the shows in tiny little clubs and getting to hang out with them afterwards. Quote
webgyrl Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 Cool! I'm sure by now you're entitled to lifetime backstage passes and access... bands/artists ALWAYS remember and respect those that supported them when times were tough and no one really knew about them. Those are special fans and they remain special. Yeah, the best way to partner with a major (if you want to do that) is to self-release, get the licensing credits and build a lot of track record before even thinking about inking any kind of deal. I co-own my own label with my producer/co-writer. So far it's been a great ride. It's tough at times, but I love what I do so it's all worth it in the end. I hope your friends have great luck. This is a harsh business, but one can really do a lot now Independently and sometimes you can even make more profit while maintianing artistic individuality and integrity by going the Indie route. Often something has to "go" when you sign with a Major, and that is usually all sense of individuality or artistic input unless you have already got a solid track record and are considered "viable as is". Of course, it's tough to get radio play and world-wide distribution, marketing and promotion without being attached to a Major label, but you can still do quite a bit on the National level as an Indie artist. You should check out my Music Biz forums and have a read at all the drama that is going on in the business (if that stuff interests you). Take care, Nat Quote
