When Chance, the rapper made Grammy’s story last year by adjusting to the first artist to hang one of the coveted costs without promoting physical copies of his music, victory resonated much beyond the Chicago rapper curriculum. “It’s for independent artist!” Chance – whose coloring album ebook has defeated several large releases and has supported through labels, adding Pablo’s life and Drake through Kanye West, shouted on stage.

Following a good fortune and DIY of such a high level, more artists plan today to keep the independent road: point out with a registered non -traditional corporate, consult new exit methods and consult to forge a path alone. The veteran of music music, Lee Parsons, CEO and co -founder of Ditto Music, an independent distribution company with more than a dozen offices in the global that has worked with artists such as Chance, Ed Sheeran, Stormzy and Sam Smith to publish music with many virtual retail measures such as Spotify and iTunes, for the reasons why the reasons why the reasons why the reasons why and published many retail measures.

A label will give something like 20% of its royalties, so someone like Lil Uzi Greu, who, I think, has won $ 8 million in a single song, will only get $ 2 million after having retired their leadership and all the cash they spent.   What we have noticed in recent years is that artists who are signed for record records realize that they do not see much effective. There are not many artists signed 10 years ago that now have a lot of cash because the gifts were very bad. Artists are contemplating independent corporations and strategies for the media to many more income.

Independent corporations compete with corporations that will give an artist 10 million pounds sterling and will lose five million pounds sterling only to make them say that they are in Universal or anyone. Now, 10 years after having installed my business and having been packed throughout the industry, joking about how paintings would not be made, [the elders] are used precisely the same now, because they need to download Get Be’s get artists someone like Ed Sheeran will download me before a record company knows it is. So, my main festival now comes from the main labels that copy my business, which is ridiculous, because we just have to be other labels.

With attitude, it is based on the territory. Flast rappers are quite independent, they strengthen their own, and if they sign, at that time, they can get what they need. The days of depression for a registration agreement have disappeared. Meanwhile, in the Philippines, some artists are ashamed to be in a record company, so when [the labels] have put a song, they have to put it under a false label call because they do not need other people to know that it is a main label. [Here] in England, I know that [the same] we produce music for artists who are signed because at all times they need to be independent, just because now it is elegant. The tide has turned.

“We have put music for artists who are signed because they need to be independent, just because it is elegant now” – Lee Parsons, CEO of Ditto Music
