I'd like to work for as long as possible and form connections with the labels I work for.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At first, I wanted to start my own label, but it was such a full-time job that it became too much.
We have meetings with our record label to tell them how to market us.
I'm recording another demo for another batch of record labels that we'll shop it around to.
This is a very screwed-up business. Record labels don't sign a lot of bands these days. We just want to find a home and stay there and make records and do our thing and not have to look over our shoulder.
It is hard, though, 'cos record labels love to boss you around. I won't let them do that anymore.
I took the process of doing as much myself as I could like a duck to water. I set up my own label and publishing, etc, and it was a fun learning curve two decades ago.
Basically we just created our own label, but again we just did it to document our own music and create our own thing, so the major labels were just always out of our picture, we're not interested.
We are moving into a world where companies will be able to offer us products and services based on our last two hours of activity. This is both exciting and frightening at the same time.
Starting my own label was more out of necessity. I'm not going to sit around and wait for labels to come screaming.
I am a freelancer. My services are available to anyone at any time.
