Reverb Nation website just put up a great blog that I just had to post here. The blog shows you how musicians & bands could get success in their music even without a label, and this article gives proof on how that could happen.

Read it, here.

If you want success with your music, all it takes is hard work and doing it all yourself. Making the best music possible if you want to be respected. You can become a recognizable musician by not signing with a label at all. If labels ever started asking me to sign with them, I’m not saying it will happen but what if, I would probably turn them all down. I wouldn’t care how much money they would offer me ’cause I don’t do music for money and fame.

You can still get thousands of fans even without a label. You can still have a great career on a high note even without a label. You can still get great opportunities even without a label. Who needs, a record label, ya know?

The industry is such a difficult world, it’s going to be overwhelming for you, I’m telling you. The way the industry is today, I wouldn’t want anything to do with the major label industry. If today was the 1950’s or even the 1970’s, yes, I probably would have signed a record contract back then ’cause those days the industry was something special. The industry is not the same anymore. It’s all greed, power and corporate bullshit.

Like the article said, you’re better off staying unsigned. Period.
