We basically do outbound sales to independent labels right now and get quite a few submissions from unsigned bands every day. As good things happen the labels get more and more excited about what we're doing, and more comfortable that we'll be here this time next year. We just let our labels know about a new partnership that we haven't announced yet and we're dealing with all kinds of admin now due to them adding more music to the catalog.
Just like our existing labels see good things happening and pay more attention, prospects will continue to see us build momentum and closing labels just gets easier.
As for the majors, the way we see it, there is plenty of great music out there and they only have a small percentage of it. If they want to work with us, that's great. But we don't need to beat our head against a wall trying to convince them when there are millions of great songs out there owned by people who are more flexible to work with.
- frankdenbow 15y agoI like your attitude towards the industry and hope you are right about the availability of good music. I am working on something myself in this space and I wonder if I would truly be able to evangelize good indie music to people. It is not a simple answer.
