We
are the only record company with whom you can sign a deal without
sacrificing your independence!
So
you want a Record Deal?
Then
you've come to the right place!
But
this is a LIMITED TIME OFFER, so be quick!
Sorry,
you're too late! All my current deals are fully subscribed!
But
don't despair ... Sign up to my newsletter below for details
of some new deals that I'm releasing in the near future.
Hi,
I'm Lynn. I'm a record producer with my own label and I've been
in the music business for over 30 years. During this time, I've
had the pleasure to work with thousands of up & coming stars...some
of whom I helped along the path from obscurity to International
stardom..
During
those years on the road, I witnessed the problems that many
talented artists had in finding the right management, agent
or record company. I've seen hundreds of musicians who really
deserved a chance to make a living from their talents, but due
to their music not being quite what the record companies were
looking for at the time, they ended up trading their instrument
in for a day job in a factory or office. No doubt they are there
to this day, wondering if things would have been different had
they invested a little more time and money in their music career,
or accepted the offer they had from a small indie label.
Even
worse, I've also seen some of the pitfalls that some really
talented artists got into by signing long term contracts with
a major label, only to find themselves trapped and going nowhere.
This
prompted me to think of all the thousands of talented music
artists out there today. Artists and songwriters of all ages
and backgrounds, most of whom have a unique sound that should
be heard by more people.
Unfortunately
for most of them, the end result will still be that day job.
Not because they lack talent, but because the recording industry
is now even more choosy about their artists than ever. The music
markets that the large record companies used to rely on to fund
the promotion of an unknown artist, are being squeezed by the
competition from digital downloads, music piracy, and other
forms of entertainment.
Many
artists are now making headway on their own through the power
of the Internet. But it isn't easy. Your many hours of practice
may have honed your skills as a guitarist, but you know little
about recording, marketing, publishing and releasing a record
for sale. Learning all this takes many years, and you don't
have that time to spare, even if you were interested in all
that stuff.
This
is where I can help, by offering YOU a record deal now! No questions
asked! ... (Well, of course, there will be questions
but we'll go into that AFTER you've signed!)
If you're
serious about your music career and have the utmost faith in
your talents, you've probably already spent a considerable amount
of time ASKING record companies for a deal, only
to be fobbed off with their latest "excuse".
Even
those record companies who didn't throw your demo straight in
the waste paper bin because they never listen to "unsolicited"
material, probably didn't listen to more than the first 10 seconds
of it.
Perhaps
you're sick of being told that you're "not what we are
looking for right now, please try again later"
You
must be fed up of having your time and money wasted by music
biz execs who think they're gods, right?
Well
your NEW music career can start right here!
The
time has come to stop asking for a deal, and instead,
DEMAND one. (No-one ever
got anywhere by beaing a wussie!)
Your
demand of "Give Me a Record Deal" has been heard by
a new kind of record company!
I
have the utmost faith in you and your music. And I haven't even
heard it yet!
How
can I be so sure?
Well,
I have the experience to KNOW how much time, effort and
skill goes into writing, rehearsing, and perfecting your
music
I
KNOW that you wouldn't even be ASKING for a record deal
unless you have complete faith in yourself and what you
do
I
KNOW that you already believe that there is a market for
your unique "sound"
I
KNOW that you've listened to dozens of other artists on
the radio who are successful and still believe you can do
it better
I
KNOW that you've already asked the opinion of your family,
friends and complete strangers, and they all tell you how
wonderful you are, and that you should be making records
I
KNOW that you've performed live, and had people coming up
to you at the end of the gig to tell you how great your
music is
I
KNOW that YOU believe that if you were just given the opportunity
to release a record for sale, loads of people would buy
it
I
WILL give you this opportunity!
Because I KNOW you have the talent, enthusiasm, and commitment
to make your music career work
So
why would I take such a risk on something I haven't even heard
yet?
It is because
I CARE about music artists.
I
have seen so many artists ripped off by the major labels, that
I formed this new kind of record company as an alternative.
I've
seen artists stuck in deals for up to 10 years where they
have to make records that are used by the company only as
tax write-offs and are never released.
I've
seen artists who have written great songs that the record
companies have "taken" for their catalogues, only
to sit on a shelf for years because the record company didn't
want them released as "competition" to their favoured
artists.
I've
heard from music fans who would like to buy all their favourite
artist's old songs, but can't, because the artist's record
company has deleted them from their catalogue.
I've
heard from fans who don't think that their idols appreciate
them, because they're not allowed to share the music they've
bought with their friends.
I've
heard from fans who would do anything just to get an email
to their idol to say thanks...only to find that the artist
has been "sheltered" by their record company "for
their own good". Many signed artists have no way of
communicating with their fans apart from through their record
company, or when they are on stage.
I've
seen artists who have spent a great deal of time and expense
developing their image and music, only to find that as soon
as they sign a record deal, the record company employs managers
and producers to change their image and music....and the
artist has no choice!
There is only one
"good" thing that a major label deal will do for
you. They will LEND you a very large sum of money.
However...you may never get to see it.
Apart from the huge marketing and recording budget, a considerable
sum may also be spent, perhaps "wastefully", on
luxuries that you may not want your money spent on.
For
example...
You
may be paying for limos, when you can quite easily drive
yourself, or get a cab
You
will probably be paying for hairstyles and clothes from
the most expensive boutiques. Image changes that you may
not even have wanted
It
is very likely that you will be paying for the same producer
on your next record, even though you thought he made a complete
mess of the first one!
On
tour, your money probably bought meals for the whole crew,
even though they went out and bought takeaways!
You
will be paying for promotional records to be sent for free
to every cheap club DJ who may not even play it. Yet if
YOU want a copy of your own record, you will probably have
to go out and BUY it!
All this money will,
of course, have to be paid back to the record company out of
the small percentage (usually around 6%) that the record company
allocates to you from each sale. It is therefore no wonder that
most artists don't see a penny from the sales of their first
5 or 6 top 10 singles.
It
is easy to see why the major labels feel that anything less
than a million-seller is a FAILURE!
So
how is my record company different?
Huge
advertising budgets aside... Let's compare my services to you
with those of a major record company....
If
you sign with a major record company, they will control your
music. You have no choice. I
can give you a recording contract that gives YOU the
freedom to choose how much control you retain over your own
music.
If
you sign with a major record company, they will pay you a large
advance to cover recording and marketing costs (Like those mentioned
above). This seems great until you realise that it is only a
loan, and you will not receive any royalties from your record
sales until it is all repaid! I wont give
you an advance. This is how I can afford to sign artists of
a much higher risk. This means that when you DO start selling
records, there is nothing to repay. You will receive royalties
from the first record sold! ... AND at up to 6 times the percentage
that a major label will pay you!
If
you sign with a major record company, you will spend many days,
weeks or months in a studio recording the songs THEY want you
to record, but it is unlikely that you would be invited to hear
the mix! I will produce
and record your music to industry standards and with commercial
flair, but you will be given mixes on approval and have the
final say in what goes into the mix.
If
you sign with a major record company, the only way you can get
a copy of your record, is if you go into a record shop and buy
it! I will give you an MP3 of
the master, prior to its release that you can freely use to
further your music career.
If
you sign with a major record company you will get a contract
that can be over a hundred pages long, and full of terms that
mean nothing to you. I will give
you a contract that explains all your options in clear English
without you having to resort to a lawyer to decipher the legal
jargon!
If
you sign with a major record company, they will turn your music
into a clone of their last successful artist, or something they
want to sell to 8-16 year-olds. In fact, they won't even sign
you unless you already sound something like that! I appreciate
that somewhere in the World there is a market (however small)
for the music YOU like to create, and will help you find it!
If
you sign with a major record company, you are effectively working
for THEM for a period of 3-10 years. They will tell you what
to wear, how to look, where to go and when, what songs to play
and when to play them, and even how to play them. You will be
expected to be available for meetings and promotional appearances
at any time. You wont get any holidays and will have to work
when they say, unless you are on your deathbed.....and you're
not even allowed to resign until your contract expires. This
could be 10 years away! I
will give you a contract that does not tie you exclusively to
my label, so you have nothing to resign from! You are free to
shop my recordings and your songs to any other publisher, record
company or agent at any time. You make the final decisions on
what songs to record and how you want them to sound. You wear
what you like, and play concerts if and when you feel like it.
You can take a holiday whenever it suits you. If you're sick,
I'll even send you a "get well soon" email!
I
am going to take a big risk and sign you to my label - and I
haven't even heard you yet!
How
can I do this?
Unlike
many record companies,
I have all the personnel, skills, equipment & facilities
at hand to record your music and release it for sale as a digital
download. By dealing in
digital products, I can release records faster and without the
overhead costs of transport, materials, shipping or breakages.
Unlike
other record companies, I respect that many artists are multi-talented,
skilful and confident individuals who want to be in control
of their art and their music career.
I
don't feel it is right for a record company to treat its artists
and songwriters as mere products. Therefore, all my artists
are respected clients and business partners.
As my business partner, I understand that you would want to
retain a certain amount of control and invest in your own career.
Therefore, I don't feel it is right for me to question your
talents.
I believe
that...
You
want to work hard to make your music career work.
You
are prepared to risk your time and money to make your music
career work.
You
are prepared to take whatever help and advice is necessary for
you to earn a living from your music.
Still not convinced?
read the following testimonials from some of the artists currently
signed to my label...
Listen
to a sample from one of John's releases!
Listen
to a sample from one of Tony's releases!
Listen
to a sample from Jacqueline's debut single!
Listen
to a sample from one of Viviane's releases!
However,
you've already been through a lot to get your record deal, so
I'm sure you don't really want to turn down the offer now do
you?
Not
only can I guarantee that you'll get your first real record
release, it will also help to bring you the prestige necessary
to get you a deal with a major label at a later stage, should
you so wish it.
If
you are a non-performing songwriter like Tony (above), the release
can help you to present your songs more professionally to publishers
and music libraries.
And
remember....! This Record Deal is NON-EXCLUSIVE
- so you can leave us at any time.
If
you truly want a record deal ... A NEW kind of record
deal...
Have faith in me... and
I'll have faith in your future music career!
Don't
hesitate!
This is a LIMITED TIME OFFER!
We are expecting
to sign plenty of new artists in a very short space of time.
Then this website will disappear!
Don't miss this opportunity!
You
can earn more money from 100,000 sales through my label, than
you could on 600,000 sales from the average record deal.
But
the most important thing about this deal is that you are free
to leave us at any time!
This
is the only record company with whom you can sign a deal without
sacrificing your independence!
