Record Labels, Are They Another Scam?

I don’t see the purpose of record labels for at least 80% of the musical artists out there. If they manage to get you sales you wouldn’t have gotten otherwise, they keep most of the money so gained and they also keep most of the money you would have received without them.

Most labels that will be willing to work with the up to now indy artist is a small label with a rather meager staff. So you don’t get any real support. And the terms of the contract are pretty onerous.

So, in brief, go for a label for vanity reasons, not economic ones. IDK, but maybe peruse the videos from Top Music Attorney’s YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/@topmusicattorney?si=2gdoyBH6FyMI4ed2
