@BrianZisook And a lot of these companies only give you a 2 to 3 year window so if you donโt register it within that timeframe youโre missing out. That should be the first thing to do before the song is released or at least do it immediately once the song is out .
@BrianZisook And another thing about the industry once you sign always be polite to people because the ones you see on your way up are the ones you see on your way down . The intern thatโs getting you food, coffee, etc. could become head of the label one day.
@BrianZisook And also another reason is peopleโs attention span is much shorter now compared to before because even when an artist drops a new album people are asking immediately when is the next one instead of taking their time to consume the music
@BrianZisook Exactly because when an artist is signed to a major they become property of the label so they canโt make any moves on the music side without their permission
Developing artists: Instead of focusing on recording and releasing 12-plus track albums with only a few standout songs, pivot to bundles and EPs with just your best work. This will keep fans engaged (and wanting more!) while you continue to build an audience.
Dr. Dre says he likes the idea of 1 producer on an album, adding that he doesnโt like when there are 9 different producers on one album, while Snoop Dogg calls out the lack of originality in today's Hip-Hop.

Releasing music at midnight on Friday is incompatible with consumer behavior. I've been beating this drum for five years. Releasing earlier in the week, preferably during daytime hours, allows for greater engagement and conversation while people are in the same weekday routine!
