The DIY Scene...
The music industry is changing rapidly.
However, the DIY Scene means this is a great time for unsigned artists to get music out there.
Setting up you own record label, releasing and marketing your own records is DO-ABLE and AFFORDABLE.
…(and here’s how to do it yourself!)
Here’s The Unsigned Guide’s quick checklist of where to start:
Give your own A&R Advice!: How do you want to sound and what do you think is going to sell.
Mastering & Manufacturing: Digital or physical? Digital’s cheapest, quickest and easiest.
PPL Repertoire Database/MCPS/ISRC/Barcodes: It’s your release, you own the copyright.
Assign a unique code so radio stations and collection societies know it’s yours.
Registering your releases with the PPL Repertoire Database means digital releases will be available for inclusion in the Official UK Charts.
Up for sale: Electronic distribution is cheapest. Local record shops if you fancy doing physical.
Promotional campaign: Band mailing list, Press, Radio, Fanzines, Web, Blogs. Everything you need here is in The Unsigned Guide!
Make a cheap video & YouTube it!: Simple and effective works best.
Advertising & Synch Agencies, TV Companies: Make contact with Ad a agencies and synchronisation agencies. There’s money in music for TV & advertising.
Who needs a record industry when you can do it yourself.
