What exactly is a record label and why is it important for musicians.

589 views

So many artists are signed to different labels, but they are extremely popular. How does a label work and why would an artist even want to sign to one since labels typically get a percent of money. Also, I thought independent or indie artists were not signed to a label but if you go to Spotify and look up indie music half of them are signed to a label.

Without a record label the chances of your music reaching a wide audience is significantly lower, and even if it did most people wouldn’t want to listen to stuff recorded through a 4 track.

I love at-home recordings personally, but it’s just not something the general public has been or probably will ever be interested in.
