You are doing a good job explaining about the music business.
Funny thing about submissions to labels, is that I had a friend who used to work as an intern at Capitol Records and he'd said that part of his job was to go into the room where all the mailed/couriered submissions were and just stamp "Return to sender" on all of them and send them back. Apparently nobody at Capitol had any interest whatsoever in even seeing what was in the submission packages.
Another funny story, is that he was supposedly speaking with the guy who works there and whose job it was to distribute the royalty checks and he was expressing how weird it is that someone like (I can't remember who he said it was, but I do recall it was someone like) Enrique Iglesias would only get like $20,000 quarterly, though someone like XYZ (Not even going to try to remember, as I'd never heard of them before, nor since) is getting like a steady $200,000 every quarter, if not more. The lesson behind that, I suppose, is to decide if one would rather have fame, or money, as it seems they rarely come as a packaged deal, even in the already rarified atmosphere of having either.
Thanks you explain everything very well! Thanks for sharing your knoledge 😊
There could be many potential problems haha! But from my experience it's creative differences between the artist and the label. Most artists don't want to give up control over there art. But labels often times need control in order to sell albums. It's a catch 22.
I'm very seriously planning on going into the music business when I graduate. This was extremely helpful! Thank you! :D
Hi Reno,
It really depends on the level of the band. Marketing budgets I'd say can be anywhere from 10,000-100,000 for new bands who are signed on with a label. It really depends on how big the label is and if the album is just being promoted as a digital release or in stores.

Thank u so much!!, Great Vid!;)
Thanks Vanessa!
Very useful knowledge , great explanation you helped me alot , you are great thank you alot 🙏🏼👑🙏🏼👑
Thanks for the great info and content. What are some examples of how a label push or get behind a record?
WOW thanx for that clear explication with diagrams and stuff... i have watched a bunch of idiots here on CZcams claiming he knows a thing about Record Labels but they have no idea!
This was great
Nice video. Thanks.
Nice video!
i absolutely love this video it helped me out so much... i was wondering if u could talk about the start up cost of running your own label and creating funding from scratch???? with local arist that u believe in
hi youre awesome! I have a question though... if there were a heirarchy or progression in an artists career what would be the steps in establishment or prominence?
Great job!!! You are on it! #youngkhanthadon #humbleb
thax for that and keep it up.
Thank You, for thé Video.
Hi, thank you so much for this video it's been super helpful! I understand that the parent companies are the music groups, and that they contain record labels that also contain record labels. I was wondering what the difference is between Hybrid Label Ventures, Imprints, Subdivisions of Labels and essentially what different type of relationships are possible branching from a parent company or a record label? Hope that makes sense and thanks in advance for the help!
awesome information
I'm an indie artist, this helped a lot, thanks!
Stay off a label if at all possible. They are out fuck you hard. If you insist, DO NOT take an advance and sign for few options. .
here is as artist I just learn to my talents in to sing dance and music like never before
What major would you recommend ? For people wanting too get into the record labels
Hi, great video. Thank you for sharing. I have a question. Should an artist ever pay an independent person, not directly employed by a record label (but who has contacts) for "career consultations"??
Very informative....
Thank you
Thanks so much for the info
Love the music stand instead of a white board. :-D
am just starting .....soo am lerning alot..
EMI was cut between others. Iron Maiden catalogue under control of Warner although their albums and singles were released by EMI Records before.
I am starting off as a manger for WePush Management, through Red. I am also a publisher and an artist. What information can you give me for starting off?
thanks so much! These videos have been very helpful! Do you have any videos on fundraising planning? We want to get a tour guide but in order to hire one, we have to invest a lot of money and be able to pay them continuously. We'd love to have some pointers from you! Thanks-- Lexi & MINO
What part of the label deals with payola
thanks for the info
NICE!!!! if you release as an independent artis t and label how do you print this in the CD if you per say you use CD Baby
Thats good, well what services or products is the sales team in a label sale involved with?
I'm watching
hey i really like your video. it s clear that you know the topic. i'll like to know how to promote myself successfully as an independent artist?
How do i get my songs played at radios?
hey hope you can reply to this comment so long after your video,but what i want to know is what royalties do record labels collect when your song is streamed and played at places that pay royalties
+Timeless Exclusive Records - Depends on many things. Contracts(read fine print), this is where you need an entertainment attorney that works for you and not the record label. Labels generally get the publishing rights from most new artist or not, if the artist is say one in one hundred million with the "it" factor for being the next big thing w/ staying power... Start grass roots DIY w/ a small indie label to start, write, produce and perform as many gigs as possible put the recording out there sell it at shows, stream it as much as you can get word of mouth going, do interviews in every city on your tour get that buzz on!!! When your ready for the Majors get an attorney(an honest one if that's possible) keep your publishing rights for your music that means mo money for your pocket. Peace good luck.

thanks
Hi, I watched all 5 parts of your 101 bootcamp - thanks for making them.
I have a question: I'm a web designer, interested in making websites for bands ...
What department/area is usually in charge of an artists' website? Creative Services? Or something else such as publicists?
Thanks again!
that would be promoting
I'd say maybe the manager, as a lot of them are responsible for their client's online personas and presence.
Hi there, do you also offer courses or private lessons regarding music marketing? I'd like to start as a freelancer as it seems to be the fastest way to earn money right off the bat to get clients instead of slow building the fan base which sadly can't afford on that now.
Best regards,
Paul
- question: why are the major labels not making it more clear to their future artists, which sub-labels to send to? - like why is it more or less "a confusing jungle" difficult approach they seem to make? - hope I make sense here... :D AND: thx for sharing your video's!
Hello! Thanks for the informative video and I do hope you answer my query. Do you need a music degree to intern at a record label or can you still intern with a non-music degree, like law or business?
Music business
Jeremiah
Briggs
what are the problems that could have the artist with the labels ?
How does a label house all these people and teams?
When will your video come out about how evil the labels are?
Why should an artist sign under 2 labels if they are already under the main major label. How do the percentages between those two labels and the artist work ?
Are you currently under that kind of contract?
I have two songs unique in the same way as the Country hit, "Grandma got hit by a reindeer". What it the best way to promote them. Just do a CZcams video as did Walk off the Earth with RedHands?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Im from Chicago trying to get a dell but im dewing it on my own

Fuck! Damn you Frank Zappa. I'm stuck in the old stack.
I love you
isn' an and r rep just basically a talent agent and
is it possible to just be an a and r rep without having the rest of the record label
No they work with you when recording your album and listen to it and help present it to the label.
My group has a multiple page A&R contact list in the files section for our members to enjoy! We also have positive people that are working together to fund concerts/meet and greets with major artists in order to network and even open up, so join us! facebook.com/groups/theindieadvantage

Is she still around?
I don't understand why would an artist be signed to more than one label
An example is eminem, eminem has shady records, which is through dr dre's aftermath records, which is through interscope
can you record at your house and get a record label still?
+Scott Parkers Awesomeness Yes, mainly with independent Record labels.
+BLACKLIGHT RECORDS sub me back
uhm u r saying that major record companies wont accept demo from those recorded at home but ssmaller, independent ones will?
I need help with my record label 🙏🌏
