“No one can want this more than you! It is so incredibly important to utilize every tool at your disposal - be active on Instagram and TikTok, upload videos to YouTube, update your artist profiles so everything is accurate and up-to-date. Put as much energy into promoting your music as you do making it.”
“For me, a great artist is someone who is able to promote themselves and is willing to make an effort when it comes to building their brand.”
Hannah, Head of Marketing & Promotion, Label
"Focus on niche - not scale. Building a real core fanbase is always going to be more sustainable than trying to please a million people that don’t care."
"A great artist is someone who moves me. They need to be able to deliver a story or feeling, that’s when you know they have something special."
Adam, Head of A&R, Label
