    Thanks for the helpful video. I'm thinking about open my record label but my situation is I am a US resident and have a group of oversea artists based in Asia (from a-z producers, engineers, singers, rappers, graphic designers,...etc) . We rather dodge the whole royalties, signing, contracts stuffs and just working together as a crew and split the profits under the table as we figured it would be too complicated doing paperwork with artist living oversea (they're seeking for international music scene rather than domestic scene which is heavily controlled by the government). Is there any way to go that route with just me doing the legal paperwork under my name or we have to do the whole process as a regular label having different positions?

      I'm a beginner songwriter and I'm very interested in the Asia and international music scene, especially Japan, as I'm learning Japanese in order to be able to write songs in Japanese one day and sing them.
      If possible, could I please join your crew as a volunteer in order to gain more experience regarding songwriting, music promotion and anything music related? 😊
      I'll do my best to assist you and your crew.
