Within the next 6 months. Anyone have any advice? I have good advisors (my uncle has years and years of industry knowledge) who have given me a lot so far.

I really gotta study up on the contractual part and I have a street team already assembled

what genre

1/16/2007 5:59:39 PM

It is going to be split between rap and rock, with my partners handling the rock part of the label

My buddy started his own label. I think a book he had read was "How to start and run your own recording label" or some crap like that. He said it was a pretty good book.

my advice, dont take the advice from anyone on here. you will just end up with some shitty indie stuff who they will later criticize for "selling out" and signing with your label.

i appreciate the posts

^^ I'll look for it

^ DOnt worry, Im not asking for musical advice from them, just good studios, etc

im reading that "how to start your own record label" book and its not bad.

im also reading "everything you need to know about the music business" for class.

maybe yo should do that stuff

i mean I'd read it to cover the bases but like I said my advisor is my uncle who has been in the industry for a long time

thanks for the advice
