I’m a small artist but do sign my work. I’ve been enjoying Lemmy for some time now and want to push this community to interact more and grow! So I thought one way I could contribute is to do a little AMA about what it’s like as a signed artist making house music :)

    How big a deal is it (for you or relative to the industry in general) that you’re “signed”?

    Any links to your work or anything?

      For me it was definitely a big deal when it first happened! I was working alongside artists I listened to for years. However, these aren’t massive corporate labels, so I have the freedom to contract one song or EP to a label, and one to another, etc.

      All of my stuff can be found under my name on basically all platforms :) Not sure if links in comments are allowed.

        What does it actual get you being signed? Apologies if it’s impolite to ask about financial things.
