The major label system is struggling because its business model is not sustainable in the digital era. Many employees have been laid off in the past few months, and just last month, Atlantic Records dropped 50 of its signed artists. In my opinion, these corporations are downsizing and will only be focusing on their top-priority acts, which make up only a small percentage of their overall signed acts. As an artist, don't wait to get signed by a major label before taking matters into your own hands. This is the time to be unique and unconventional with your music and to build a dedicated audience around it. #musicmarketing #independentartists #musicindustry #musicbusiness #majorlabels

In the music industry, success relies not only on talent but also on cultivating relationships and fostering a strong team. Whether collaborating with artists, producers, or managers, or nurturing a supportive team behind the scenes, every connection is pivotal. #TheManagersPlaybook #MusicBusiness101

Exciting developments in the #musicindustry as #PartisanRecords, renowned for its diverse and dynamic #artist roster, including #IDLES and #Blondshell, announces a global distribution partnership with #VirginMusicGroup, a subsidiary of #UniversalMusicGroup. This strategic alliance will allow Partisan to significantly expand its global reach, enhancing marketing and distribution efforts for its artists. Zena White, #COO of Partisan, noted that #Virgin offers much more than distribution; it provides a collaborative and entrepreneurial environment aligned with Partisan’s vision. This partnership aims to not only elevate the profile of its artists but also position Partisan as a trusted partner in the global music landscape. With the merge of teams from #Virgin and #Integral, combined with PIAS’s resources, this move signifies a promising future for independent labels navigating the complexities of the #musicmarket. As the #musicindustry continues to evolve, it will be intriguing to see how collaborations like this reshape artist development and resource allocation. What are your thoughts on the impact of such partnerships in nurturing talent across various genres?
