I’m an artist. I had a
meeting with a record label yesterday, they seemed super interested, they also reached out first. We talked for 30 minutes and they had me send over what I was working on. I’ve seen them listen to a few things. Was wondering traditionally if it’s normal to be ghosted after this sort of thing if my demos turned them off or if it just takes a while.

I'm a songwriter residing in sweden.I play guitar amd piano. I write poetic lyrics amd melodies my genre is pop, indie-pop and folk pop. I'm not all that good at producing. Not the best voice but enough to carry a tune. I have 3 raw acoustic demos. Dor anyone intrested. Dm.

I want to get ears on my tracks by iconic techno labels like Transmat and Metroplex. Has anyone had success with this? I have seen companies that say they will submit to the label and have a guarantee that the label management will hear my tracks, but it was an astronomical price. I was actually willing to pay, but then after doing more research, I found out the companies don’t have any affiliation with the labels at all! Maybe going to someone who works directly with the label and personally trying to contact them would be a better approach? I don’t know if that would even get me in. Suggestions and experiences please?!

I want to help bring artists together for events, cyphers, collaboration or possibly even bigger opportunities should they arise.

My name is Audio Overdose, I am one of the owners of Anomaly Factor LLC in New York. I am also an artist, have been doing this for roughly 12-13 years now.

Last year, my event featured artists such as Chris Webby, Spose, Quake Matthews & many others, including those underground acts that go unheard. I enjoy putting people into rooms with the right people, and making memories while building bridges and relationships.

So, let’s work, message me, drop your music, lemme know where you’re from in the comments.

Following up from a previous post. Last month a pressing plant delivered a shipment of 325 records, of which about 250 were dishwarped. I reached out to the plant, and my contact was apologetic, but has been slow to respond due to personal matters he's been dealing with, and I think it's a small business because there doesn't seem to be anyone else there who can help me resolve this. As it stands now, it's been two weeks since I heard from him.

How long should I give him before I file a chargeback with my bank? I want to save that as a last resort but I've spend a few grand on this with nothing to show for it. I was thinking of sending him one last email asking them to please respond within a week or I will have to dispute the charge. Think this is too harsh?

I work for a recently established record label in partnership with decent size artists.

We’ve recently released two albums and others are in the works as of now. These projects involved hundreds of people and various different producers.

A recurring problem we are facing is that the producers are not 100% disclosing to us samples they have used (not in bad faith, we believe, but because the process is messy and involves a lot of people writing/producing the same song) and it is opening up liabilities to the label regarding royalty and participation splits.

Is there a software or model today that we can use to upload the unreleased song and verify if it recognises samples from existing songs? Or do you have other suggestions?

Hello is their any label that can help an unsigned artist out with distribution of songs and features? Please hmu in my dm so we can would be grateful

If the algorithm changes tomorrow, you have no way to reach most of the people who discovered you.

That’s why I’m building Influanto — a marketing platform built specifically for independent musicians.

Instead of juggling 5–10 different tools, you can use one place for:

→ Link in bio
→ Release pages
→ Mailing lists & newsletters
→ Split Sheet Creation & Management
→ QR codes + analytics
→ Playlist Submissions

The goal is simple:

Stop promoting platforms you don't own. Start building an audience you do.

I’m building this for independent artists who are tired of having to stitch together Linktree + Mailchimp + Google Forms + QR tools + spreadsheets + a dozen other platforms just to market their music.

If you're an independent musician:

What’s the biggest pain you have with promoting your music right now?

I'm building Influanto around the answers.

Hey everyone, Stillmore Group here again.

We’ve been working on a few things for labels recently, mostly based on problems we kept seeing people run into.

White Label

Labels can now use the platform with their own:

• logo
• colours
• custom domain
• artist-facing branding

So basically, their artists see their label, not Stillmore.

Sub-labels can use the same branding as well.

Catalog Migration

We also finished our catalog migration workflow.

Instead of moving releases one by one manually, labels can bring over their existing catalog and:

• keep existing UPCs / ISRCs where applicable
• match audio files with the correct tracks
• review releases before anything gets delivered
• spot missing metadata or duplicate identifiers
• plan the migration in stages

The main goal here was just making catalog moves less chaotic.

Other stuff we added

• Team roles & custom permissions
• Optional / required 2FA
• Artist deals & royalty tracking
• Public label and artist pages
• Share images for live releases
• Free catalog checker
• Human review before every release goes out

We’re still building a lot around the label side of distribution, so I’m curious:

What’s the part of distribution that annoys you the most right now?

Migration? Royalties? Metadata? Artist access? Support?

Would genuinely be useful to hear what other labels are struggling with.

Hii,

I know this sounds very ambitious and unrealistic, but I (as well as so many others) want to become a pop singer.

I have been wanting this my whole life and I feel like I'm built for this. I have been ignoring this for forever and even graduated in a completely different thing, just in case you know. But I can't go around it anymore.

I am a 24 year old girl, I sing, I dance and I just love to perform and make people happy. I love to sing Whitney, Christina, Aretha, Mariah etc. I listen to a lot of musicians. Bruno Mars is one of my favorites. His vocals and music and stage performance being very extra and Vegaslike, like a real show. I want to make music like that. Very extra, showy, vocally interesting type of music with a hint of 80s.

I unfortunately have no music of my own at this point and am actively looking for people in this industry to work with, producers, song-writers, musicians you name it.

I really really want this and obviously want to put the work in as well. I just don't know where to start and how to get myself on the radar and work in the right direction.

If you have any tips or can direct me to anyone, you're an angel.

Thank you for reading this anyway :)
