Music Industry About
How did you get involved in the music industry and record deals?
I am a musician trying to get attention. I play guitar and sing in the rock / alternative style, and love dancing, singing, acting, and all sorts of things like that. I love to make a career out of playing and singing. However, no I know nothing about the music industry or the recording. How even to begin? Who should I talk to hear what I have? Thank you very much!
So you realize how difficult it is right? Well let me explain why. Go to a record company for a record deal is like going to the bank and borrow money enough to buy a house. The record companies really do is pay for everything. They loan money the same way a bank credit theirs. When you sign a contract that is agreeing to pay for your study time and the producer and the salaries of engineers. They also pay for burning the CD and work art and plastic cases, shipping the product to record stores, and free copies that must be sent to all radio stations, television, newspapers, magazines, etc. .. They also pay for advertising on television, radio, newspapers, etc. .. His part in the contract to sell the final product. You go on tour and win money spent. You do television interviews and radio and advertising of their product to encourage more sales. At the end of all, if you succeed and has made money first thing that happens is that the record company back every cent you paid, then all exenses are removed and your head get your money and then pay and then you have to give 50% money to their government. You get what is left over. So if you're lucky. If you are not, if your album bombs, which still have to pay back the record company! Every penny. Like the home loan. It is absolutely the same. SO … you have to make a record company want to spend that much money on you? What is different about you? What is unique? Think Beatles, Queen, Kiss, Van Halen …. Well, let tell you how to begin. First, you need people to know your name. Tell everyone your name and what you do. Even the small box at the supermarket. Are you solo? Is you in a band? Well, running an ad in a newspaper (not the network) and put a band together. Have you heard of a garage band? Think you have, but you wrong … You get your band to practice / jam in your garage and you invite your friends to sit on the grass and the slot (This is the beginning of your network) then bring their friends to bring their friends … Do you understand? Just to sit on the grass, while the practice. Very good, very soon the crowds are going to get too big for its neighbors to take it anymore, so go to the local scout hall or something and start selling chips and soda to cover the costs. Your next step is to to play in that room at night and charge a small entrance and its network come …. Do you understand? Keep working, soon you'll be pulling too many people to stay in a small room, then you can find a bigger and start collecting more money and then an administrator who works to find elsewere. Want to know how be noted by A, I +? Here's how. They hear the crowds going to see the artists and go and check it out to sign the band before another record company is released. they are looking for people who are working, they already have an audience. If people start getting in their cars to come expressly to see you, A & R come and see what all the buzz is about. And seriously, you can pay for recording and the CD pressing and distribution yourself. You do not need a record company do it for you. It really is like getting a loan from a bank. Anyone can use a recording studio. I own one and will be billed per hour. companies CD recording of 1000 is not running you can order discs and also private (and sell them at gigs are you doing in the hall.) There are also distribution companies can search the directory. It's like hiring a courier service. You do not really need a record company. Start small build their fan base (in the real world network) and save your money. Get a manager. All the best cat
