Do it yourself and if a label gets interested in you and you would want to be seen on their label plan out a few exclusive projects for them and carry on with your self publishing and distributing for yourself.
Hey there, thanks for watching! Two things I wanted to add: 1. It's also possible to release music on Soundcloud and Bandcamp which is free and very easy, and to start with your first Songs this might be also a good idea. In this video I just highlighted the solutions if you want to get your music on a streaming service. But Bandcamp can be a very good alternative as well. 2. The book I mentioned is called "All I Need To Know About The Music Business" and not "Everything..." Check out the link in the description if you haven't found it yet.
Great info i didnt know i needed to know as i approach finishing my first song for my band. I just play instruments and have very little insight into the commercial end of things. thanks!
Great video with lots of information. It is amazing how you boiled all of the essentials of releasing music into such a short video. And the bonus content was absolutely great. I really appreciate the information about Publishing rights and why joining ASCAP or BMI is necessary. I have listened to so many videos about these subjects and I have come away not really understanding much, and often, even more confused. Your video has clarified the issues, and swept away all of my confusion.
Hey there. Thank you so much for watching and your kind comment. I'm really happy I could shine some light on this topic. I myself struggled a long time to understand this with the publishing rights, and I think there are many artists who would benefit if they would know this. I don't know how the process is to sign up with ASCAP, but in Switzerland with the SUISA it was acutally quite easy and you only pay a sign up fee at the beginning, and then you can start registering your songs. Anyways, I wish you all the best. Stay inspired :)
@@JonasFasching personally, I would appreciate a mention about the process for copyrighting one's songs. As one starts to put one's songs out into the public, I believe it is very important to have one's songs copyrighted, .
It depends, I wouldnt say that for all the labels. I had some really nice exchanges with small indie labels that definitely helped me and connected me with many likeminded people in my niche. But to each their own.
I am a classical guitar player from India and i have been playing from past 16 years, i want to release my orignals and i have never ever uploaded anything ever. I have no one in my contacts whom i can share my stuff my every social media platform is going to be zero. Any tips coz i am freaking out. I have been planning this from years but now i am worried with everything zero on every platform. The only thing i have planned is to record a song from good studio invest a bit on music video and distrokid for audio and then video on the social media platforms
So nice to hear that you are recording and playing guitar! I think the best way is to start releasing things you made if you are happy with it. Maybe you can start sharing it with friends and family and from there it can grow. Plus creating a bit of an online presence could definitely help. I think it requires some patience on the way, so dont get discouraged at the beginning. Good luck and all the best.
I think for that you would have to contact the company who builds the model to generate the AI music. I guess it would be in their term of usage if it's possible or not. But I have to admit that I never did this so I can't really give any advice on this topic.

I'll be the next biggest rapper
Haha, that title is really funny! Anybody worth their salt knows labels are the worst

@@JonasFasching that’s true. If we should seek any deals with labels, it might be small indie labels.
