Interview: An Insight into Independent Record Labels

In this video interview we’re joined by Big Scary Monsters and Alcopop! Records to talk all things record labels. We discuss how labels find their artists, how you can get signed, what being signed means for an artist, and discover the inner workings of that relationship.

Afterwards we also sat down with Justine Jones from Church Road Records and discussed how they work as a label and with their artists, as well as discussing distribution, and some key advice for artists. You can view both talks below.

Guests:

Dave Owen, Big Scary Monsters

Luke Priestly, Alcopop! Records

Justine Jones, Church Road Records

Brave Island hosted Soundcheck: A Music Industry Crash Course in March 2021, where we spoke to various industry professionals to tell you everything you need to know about the music industry. We covered topics such as how to get signed, how to get your music heard, and artist’s personal experiences. We’ll be posting all of the interviews on the Brave Island Blog so you can check back and watch them again at anytime
