There are very few record companies who will entertain a middle-aged woman coming to them with original material.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't think that old-fashioned idea of record companies exists any more.
You know, the record business is much different than being artist on stage.
I suspect that we might actually start selling some records with these artists in about 10 years. Some the people who invested, they're a little tight-because it's a lot of money to start up a company.
The record business has always mystified me. Sometimes there are reasons why things sell or don't sell that can't be understood by mere mortals.
Today's consumer is less interested in possessing things and more in experiencing them. That's something the music industry needs to get its head around. Do we even need record companies any more?
The entertainment industry is loaded with extraordinarily talented people. But the true, genuine originals, they're rare.
A lot of record company people, even though they're our age, want to be perceived as young hip guys, and they're hurting the business.
I don't want a record company, but I need one, unfortunately.
Modern records are all made with virtually identical gear, software plug-ins and everything. Everybody wants everything to sound like the last thing that was popular because they're chasing their tails.
You don't need a record company to turn you into anything.
