NEED A RECORD DEAL? *KEY MINDSET ARTISTS MUST ACQUIRE. 1. Don’t seek to be merely an “employee” of a record label, instead, think in terms of a win/win partnership. 2. Do not feel like you are entitled to receive money or opportunities simply because you are talented. It is not the record labels job to reward you for your music. It’s their job to reward you for the value you bring to them (beyond the music). 3. You must become a partner in what they want to achieve. And you want them to be a partner in what you want to achieve. Note that I am not talking about “selling out”. Selling out would involve giving up your musical integrity for money (or other benefits). What I am describing is simply one of the most basic and universal practices of business. You must give the other side what they want in order to receive what you want from them. If you follow this principle, success in the music business (and life) becomes so much easier! 4. Too often artists and record labels are at odds with each other because each is out to reach its own objectives even if those objectives are in direct conflict with the other side’s goals. When either side feels “entitled” to something without a win-win strategy, everything breaks down between them. And sooner or later both sides lose (and so do the fans!). Until you begin to think and work with the win-win partnership concept, the people and record labels with the greatest power to help you will typically not be interested in you…. And the bad people (“sharks”) in the music industry might seek to take advantage of you, if you are talented but ignorant to how the music business works! * Share This. #TeamBLACKSNIPE
