Today’s Discovery Question:
What's your perspective on record labels and the current state of the music industry?  A) Getting a record contract is a major goal for my career because I want to be associated with the top acts in my genre who all have deals with labels I admire. B) I have career aspirations that will require a lot of support and funding and a record label seems like the best option for reaching these aspirations. C) If the deal makes sense then I'm open to it but my goals don't include necessarily signing with a label. D) Ownership of my Masters is most important to so any work I do with a label will be contingent on retaining ownership rights. E) Record Labels are dangerous and they treat artists unfairly. I will NEVER sign with a label out of protest.
Task Of The Day:
When researching labels you should consider places where they are missing an artist like you. Think about people at the label that are on the same career trajectory or timeline as you, maybe the A&R Intern or Coordinator rather than the Senior Vice President. You might also include industry personnel such as producers or investors who might be interested in starting a label?
Inspiration:
Stop being in a hurry to grow. You are growing all the time. If you're always looking up trying to make a mark that is far out of reach than you'll fail to see the growth you've already made each day. If you want to see your growth then you have to measure. Which means pausing long enough to be where you are and mark that down. When you do that, you'll see that this is a good place, be here now.
