Is Signing to a Label Worth It?

Episode notes

In this episode, we break down the realities of label deals and why they may not be the best path for most independent artists. We’ll talk about how label contracts really work, why many artists give up more control than they expect, and how the financial side of deals can be far less appealing than they appear on the surface. More importantly, we explore how modern artists can build sustainable careers without relying on a label - using direct fan relationships, independent releases, and smart long-term strategies.
