You're starting to see new record companies and business models taking shape, but it takes time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Now record companies are run by lawyers and accountants. The shift from the one to the other was definitely related to when the takes started to get big.
I don't think that old-fashioned idea of record companies exists any more.
Every business is there to make money, and making a record is business. This tends to be forgotten by many.
Record companies would rather you stay dumb, not even think of it as a business, so they can either rip you off or get you out of the way in five years to make way for the new groups.
When you make a lot of money for a record company, they don't want you to evolve. Growing older, you naturally do.
It really does take a lot of time to make records, to be in the studio and do all that stuff.
Those record companies don't know what's happening at all.
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.
I'm pushing ahead on my own - you no longer need a large record company to make you a star.
Stop doing what the record companies are doing and do what's in your heart.
