“We saw there was a need for independent artists, big and small, to have the full-menu services of a label, without necessarily needing to be on a label. The business model itself is ambitious and reflects the changing landscape of the music industry, where artists can develop followings outside of the label system but still with the marketing acumen of professionals. We’re essentially bringing the best of both worlds together for artists.”
