RELEASE RIGHT.
It is important for artists at all levels to understand how to release their music like a professional. By using industry tested strategies an artist can foster organic growth and sustainability. The A&R Department offers release services similar to a major label, but we’ve tailored them to developing artists so that they can retain ownership of their music whilst advancing their understanding of how art and business cooperate. Our holistic approach involves guidance on songwriting, producing, licensing your music for platforms like Netflix and Spotify and promoting your music to influencers and their followers on major social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok and Youtube. Let’s work together to help you go from grassroots to global!
