make sure you have your union card and sing up or sit in on a recording session at a studio

how can I get my music heard to a major label?

I am considered to be one of the best producers in the area, won all contests i have entered, promoted, managed, and run/own soundmsters recording studio but need just one person to hear what i can do and then the rest is down hill. please someone help me !!!!!

I would send demo tapes to major labels and independent labels significant in your genre. You can also set up a Myspace page and distribute your MP3s to build up a national following. You might also want to send tapes to influential producers and music critics. You might want to also tour to build up a live following.

What do I need to set up a recording music company or a music label?

January 262010

How many Artist do I need for a start? How many people do i need at least and what job would they be responsible for? How could i find the right people in this business, since I do not have any experience in the music business?

Do you consider Radiohead to be an indie band?

January 262010

I personally consider their music to have that independent mentality thanks to the feel of DIY and the experimentation of Kid A and
Amnesiac. But when you look at the labels that they have been signed to, it gets complicated.

From 1992-2005 they were signed to Parlophone and Capitol records, both of which are parented by EMI (one of the mainstream "big four", which is the exact opposite of indie.) Then they dropped EMI as their label and released In Rainbows independently on the internet and then under XL Recordings (an indie label) they released it in a physical copy. However, the album was also connected/released by TBD (previously Side One) which is parented by ATO (which is parented by RCA, which is owned by Sony BMG).
Therefore, Radiohead started out releasing under major labels, released indie a bit, but still had connections with a "big four" label.

With all of this considered, is Radiohead an indie band in your opinion? They’ve been on an independant label, but they’ve also been signed to EMI and Sony BMG.
Thanks. =]

no matter what label they are signed to, i personally don’t think radiohead can be put into the ‘indie’ catagory – or any.

they are so different from any other band, and so original. i wouldn’t be able to catagorise them if i tried. and i prefer it that way.
