⚡️ Budi's Thoughts #006: Good Artist Management, Record Label Deals & How To Find Artists ⚡️

My trip to the USA is almost done, but we still have time for 1 more overseas episode.

Today we talk about things like what makes an artist manager worthwhile, what are the differences between an indie-label record deal and a major-label record deal and where you should look when you’re a record label in search of new artists.

Also, next week we’ll be giving the show a fresh new spin. This allows us to cover more diverse topics aside from just the music business.

If you have any ideas on what kind topics you’d like to see please let us know! It can be anything along the lines of productivity, books, entrepreneurship etc.

1:47 Mathieu: As a French guy, do you think it’s better to do a marketing strategy in French language, only English or both?

3:39 Michael: After seeing the countries that listeners are from, how do I figure out why there following me?

5:02 Restless Modern: In your mind, what does it mean to be an artist manager? What should a great manager offer that is worth 15-20%of the artists share?

9:18 Restless Modern: What does a typical indie-label deal look like and how does this compare to a major-label deal structure?

11:30 Restless Modern: Where does the majority of musical income originate from? Is it actually downloads or is a lot of it from merchandise/streaming/licensing etc.?

13:59 Kyle: What is the best way for labels to find artists that will release under them?
