One of my friends used to be semi-big in the 90's but I don't think record sales were that great and I know they invested money themselves to have CD's printed. Income from gigs and radio were better.
Another of my friends have their records printed and sold in Germany. We don't have too much contact these days so I'm not sure how that goes. We're in Sweden by the way. And finaly there's someone who's doing great with record company today. It's my brothers friend and I've seen him on stage since he was like 14 yrs old, oh boy he's been working hard on the guitar and it's nice to see he's up there ripping now But prior to Scar Symmertry (the band he's in) I belive he's been struggeling. Summing it up I think there's quite a number of possibilities to have a record made, only that it will cost you your peronal savings in the process. -------------------- My bands homepage

and how a bout big record labels....is ther a way...for young artists to publish for them and not to give any manny(but having finishd record in their hands)...?or they just pubilsh the well known names.... I'd say it's the well known names. I guess, just a guess since I havn't been close to a huge record lale myself but have two buddies who have their own studios and I see where their music end up, in the hands of already well known artists. No large record wants to take a chance on someone unknown unless it's a safe card like an "Britney Spears" or a "Christina Aguilera" that they can promote with loads of commercial. What has to come out in the end is one thing only, money. For good and for bad but at least very understandable. -------------------- My bands homepage

Being in Croatia i have the same problem you have buddy BUT - as i pursue the solo carrier as a solo composer/performer/arranger -> the internet provides a lot of ways to advertise your stuff and even sell it without the record labels
If we talk about touring and stages - yeah, that is a HUGE problem. Only folk stuff gets the attention here. I am not even thinking about making a CD under the Croatian record label. There are a few labels in the world which are shred/instrumental oriented and they gladly accept material for rehearsing - than they decide about your future. Right now i put the composing aside and am concentrating on building technique and finishing the university. Music is all cool but too hard to make something out of it -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

It is hard to get to the record label, often bribe or even sexual bribe is in stake.

It's hardest in small countries,specially where english isn't prime language,
that way you have small market,too small actually. Of course there are MAJOR record deals even in those countries but I'm gonna discus about it,there isn't much of music involved there. For larger markets there's is more chance to do something, you can pick your level,underground,mid fame or top star. To be a star,well,hope you are good looking ladies...guys BUT we have internet,God bless his souls. -------------------- Youtube

Isn't Norway still one of the best places for that? Sure I guess, but there are soooooooooooo many black metal bands here. |
