How to get your music to record label people?

admin — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 04:49:55 +0000

I want to be a famous singer and i have been writing and learning guitar and singing and i want to send my songs to a record label company.

Ok, yes you need a manager. But, trust me that is only half the story. You don’t need just any manager, you need a manger with the best connections to shop your music around to the right people. Please be careful, a lot of people "think" they are managers but are not. A manager also helps you get shows to perform live so that you can start building an actually fan base. Trust me, there are a lot of singers out there. You need to stand out. If you work on building your music and gaining fans, the more likely a record label may be interested. Music is a business first, labels might be more convinced if they think you can make them money. That is the main purpose of why they sign artist … to make money. Good Luck!

How old to be an A&R Scout for a music label?

admin — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 02:44:37 +0000

Im in highschool. After, im gonnna goo to college for music buisness. I want to start as an A&R scout, but I dont know if I need an internship, or previous knowledge? Also, do I have to wait untill Im 18? Any record labels in the Orlando area that might give me this position or an internship?

I can tell you right now…you’re not going to start as an A&R person. You’ll start out sorting demos, filing, making coffee, and other wonderful grunt work.

As far as if you have to wait until you’re 18, it depends on the labor laws in Florida.

You’re best bet it to find a small, independent label and approach them. Let them know that you’re intested in getting into the record industry, and ask them what kind of work you could do for them in return for showing you the ropes.

A major label isn’t going to give you the time of day unless you can show some kind of successful track record with an indie.

Good luck.

how do i write songwriter for music artists in a record label?

admin — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 10:07:46 +0000

how do i become a songwriter for Music artists?
i have been writing music for 5 years now and my friends see potential in me but do i need to have like experience in this field? if so how would i get this experience? i would like to write music under a music label such as Interscope or Cherrytree. how would i apply for a job as a song writer?

Well first you’ll probably have to go to college and get a degree in songwriting. Assuming you already have a degree, I’d contact a recording label you would like to work for. Usually you can get an internship and work your way up from there.

how much should I charge for a write up of music artist & their record label?

admin — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 03:35:04 +0000

I’ve been asked to do a write up for two biography’s of some music artist and a write up for the record label. I’m new to this so I am not sure what I should ask for. I am not new to writing–I write a weekly blog for language and language education. They’re read my work and like my writing style and our confident I can do the job, so what should I ask for?

check here:

I found this (and tons of other good results) by googling, "How much should I charge"

I once translated and was told to charge either $20-30 per hour or per page, can’t remember which…

Good Luck!

How to produce my own record label, music,trademarks,patents,etc?

admin — Sun, 08 May 2011 07:55:29 +0000

i want to copyright/patent/trademark my own record label Small Business

First, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the various types of businesses out there so that you can be sure you’re choosing the best structure for your situation. For example, an S corporation allows you to avoid some of the more rigorous corporate taxes, but there’s a fair amount of startup paperwork and it can be costly to start and maintain; other entity types, like a sole proprietorship DBA, while the paperwork and startup costs are minimal, do not offer the person liability protection of a corporation. It’s a good idea to do some research and talk to a legal advisor about the best option for you.

As far as protecting your intellectual property, the following types of intellectual property can be protected by a copyright — the songs, your website content, any promotional material you’d like to publish, photographs of your establishment or your musicians, and so on.

Names and domain names aren’t able to be protected by a copyright, but those are things that can be trademarked. This will give you the exclusive right to use the name of your record label for commercial gain.

As far as patents, I’m not sure what regarding a record label might be eligible for this type of protection — patents are used for inventions and novel new ways of doing something. If you come up with some new method of recording that no one has thought of before, maybe, but it doesn’t sound like you’ll really need to worry about obtaining a patent for anything with what you’re trying to do.

Some other things you’ll want to do when you start your business: check into any license and permit requirements in your state, city or county; look into employee leave and workers compensation laws in your state, if you’re going to have employees; and come up with a detailed business plan before you make any decisions about or take any action on your business.

I hope this information helps! Good luck!

What is a list of careers within a record label? just the music industry in general?

admin — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 14:26:37 +0000

I really love music and want to go into a career with it. However, I’d rather just work with the company than actually be in a band. I would also prefer a career within it that doesn’t require a lot of communication. Please only serious answers.

All jobs require you to communicate.The music industry especially,even the accounting division of record labels communicate.

If you have issues with communication(I did at one time also I hated talking to people-so I know how you feel).Then find a job that requires you to deal with people(Mine was Six Flags Great Adventure).It will force you to be uncomfortable but you’ll grow(Sorta like growing pains they hurt but their necessary).I sure did.I worked my up to a Assistant Supervisor of Concerts/Events-but you have to want to help customers(I did).Good jobs want someone that wants can help the customer/guest.

Good luck to you….God Bless you on your journey.
