💪🏿💯🔥
Mmmmmm….. this is FUNNY! People, labels are NOT BROKE! The title of this video is misleading. But hey, it worked. I watched it 😂. But for someone that is actually “in” this business, labels are far from broke. And when I say labels, I am not referring to the small wanna be make believe independent labels. I’m talking about true “labels”, with marketing, promotions, budget, art department, etc etc etc….. Labels aren’t going anywhere and if you are an artist and a hustler I would highly suggest that you try to get signed to one on your terms. You would be a fool not too, if and I mean IF you have the talent and the hustle. And because of where the industry is today, labels are looking for REAL talent today. Don’t be fooled into believing signing to a label is a bad thing. There are bad deals, but there are the right deals also, if you have the talent.
Thank you for sharing this with us 🤲🏾💪🏿❤️
Excellent video, my friend! As independent artist and record labels, the key to our success is establishing business credit and keeping your personal credit above 700 and the sky is the limit. You can get whatever you want and finance whatever you for the label
We're loving what you do Casey! Pull that curtain off that Wizard from these labels im glad people eyes are wide open now❤❤❤ keep up the good detective work and we'll keep smashing that like!
Great Great..Great Great, GREAT one 💪🏾👑🌞
Can you present at the Audio Engineering Society annual conference in October, please?
Hey Mr. Graham, if I was a cowriter on a song and the artist did not have a publisher but I have an LLC. Do I register the copyright on copyright.gov and include both of us as authors. Then use their writers account IPI # and mine to register us as cowriters on the song through my selected PRO? Is there anything else I would need to do in order to properly administer the copyright?
I feel you & agree with most of what's presented, but have had real life experience for many years of people vibing with my music who are not in my age range. It's challenging to navigate with what I know to be true vs this industry standard stuff purposely created by a fucked up music industry that believes in division. But I'm sure I'll be fine tho & I appreciate your next level viewpoints as always💯
I want to sign up
That's the game..
❤👍🏾💯🦈🌊
Great video. Your bracelets make so much noise, tho. Very distracting. 😵💫
Noted!
Don't sign.
Naw. These Labels are doing this so people can’t get make the most amount of money on their own
In essence that’s how most businesses work. They end up working for the bank. 🤦🏼♂️

#timepoint 6:54 AND 7:00 *Yeah Casey you said it right the first time😆😆😆, ((((((((((("HUMAN COLLATERAL!!!")))))))))* ...They take out life insurance policies against your autonomy, 🤬"they offset AND discharge ALL debts"🤬 and issue pay-out advances and tour support, using your own signature Guarantee as authorization; to utilize your social security number to DIP INTO the Cestui Que Vie Trust Accounts, which your Birth Certificates as an ESTATE are tied to and your SSA is tied to that...! Just like any major employer corporation that is set up to handle this type of administration, just like car dealerships when you purchase a car, just like all your colleges and universities ETC.... Then they place an ARTIFICAL but contractual debt over you head to pay them back an alleged debt when the DEBT was already PAID IN FULL!!! ....((((( Whereas WE ARE literally paying ourselves both on the "J.O.B." and the Record Deals, with Advances and Tour Support! ))))* Then all gross-revenues are nearly 100% PROFIT for the Major Labels and Employers, with clever sorcery-book-keeping to MAKE IT APPEAR like it is something, which it is not, for the laymen(s) aka THE CORPORATE WARDS OF STATE aka the citizens aka THE 14th AMENDMANT SLAVES! They even pass on their own obligation(s) for paying TAXATION(s) to you, employee or #Artist.... *This is how the majors labels really became **#MAJOR**, once the control was taken away from the MOB and put into the hands of the Attorneys aka the Barracks of England ETC... THIS IS THE BIGGER PICTURE OF WHY **#PRINCE** WROTE **#SLAVE** ON HIS FACE AND CUT HIS HAIR IN PROTEST!* ....HRJ 192 start here see for self. #DEBT, #TUITION, #MORTAGE, #NOTE, #ADVANCE
Zo, If ya ain't got Debt, we have no Credit. Say What? Back at the Ranch...finally, Fantastic Tutorial ! On the Road again.
What about the Illuminati bro,how does that affect the business
Isnt it ironic that music is also dead?
Isn't it ironic that you only listen to mainstream music which is why you'd probably make this statement.
@@MusicMoneyMakeover that's a wild assumption that I don't explore the music World. Can you give a list of 3 artist who have better music than a mainstream artist?
@@joebeezy115 Yeah I just found this guy today that won the tiny desk competition this year. The Philharmonik czcams.com/video/sKHswNFsRww/video.html Who else..... Aneesa Strings is dope, Obed Padilla... Yussefdayes, Mick Jenkins, Ben Rector is killing it right now. There are a loooooooot of indie acts man. My Clients Kennedy Ryon, Baby Rose, Alexander Nate....

You're welcome!
YOU NAILED THIS ONE Casey! 😊
Appreciate it🫡
They buying fake streams from Daniel Ek's bald headed swedish maphia buddies.
The execs are finessed by the label’s advertising departments. A ad department exec will tell the amateur execs promotion costs $30k and they’ll get loans to make their subsidiary accounts bigger but they don’t get that when a ceo is focused on buying cars and Gucci instead of running ads on the music, then they go too in the negative. When they want to record in ssl and neve consoles instead of a home studio and trying to keep up the image of others, they go broke
That is absolutely true & they forget they gotta recoup additional studio fees & add-ons for all the gear in the studio for however long they’re stationed in there by the hour.
Your video layouts are getting doper. It's a lot easier and more enjoyable to watch you I feel like you're giving us more of yourself. Thank you for that it's inspirational I truly am working on my music in the background I'm about a week out from having material ready. Thank you for all you do
Talking about the gesticulation the hand movement and gestures keeps me engaged
Thank you for watching and learning. There’s more to come.
They are. I was on one for 5 minutes. I learned what they do. All they do is do is do a jv with a bank for millions of dollars then they sign 1000 Artist for $15,000 contracts. The major labels. Then they recoup it but when they give the accounts to subsidiary owners who aren’t knowledgeable with advertising, then those are the labels that go under because those execs don’t understand expenses correctly
Yes in a sense yes.
This was very informative about the business I needed to hear this as an indie artist thanks MMM show
Anytime!

🤔I keep hearing people talk about how the introverts will get left behind but if we look how tech creating more introverts I belive it will be the opposite because they are normally more tech savvy.
Just like DAW made Digital producers the norm, AI will make Director Producers (Diddy and Khalid style) the norm.
Director producer have always been the norm since the 1920s and 30s dude. We didn't get to the single person producers until the 80s
@@MusicMoneyMakeover 😅 yeah I just ment hip-hop I'm 30 my roots don't run that deep
AI is just another scam by the tech industry.

yoooo I produce actually free beats for Spotify and all digital audio platforms, anyone who wants can take a look at my channel :) and great video by the way, really explained a lot of things I wanted everyone who used my beats to know lol 😂😂😂
The last project I released had AI elements to it included in most of the instrumentals in the album. Yes, you still need to know your tones.
3.5 billion streams for 1,3 million dollars? I asked chat gpt and said for 1,5 million dollars you would just need 375M streams
What a.i software I can use 100% free that can mix and master my music
Been using A.I for awhile now just to stay on top I use it's as another studio tool
In which way/ways do you use it?
