Start Your Own Record Label

Many recording artists and music producers continue to struggle to get the exposure they need to sell enough albums to take them to a new level.

I came across (3) websites that can you get your music in front of millions of crazy fans that's ready to buy your music.

A&R HookUp.com

The first website is A&R HookUp.com and they guarantee that your music will be heard by A&R's from major record label like Def Jam, Koch, Shady, Atlantic, Jive and more.

How Does It Work?

Each A&R Live Hookup includes one industry guest (typically a major label A&R Director or A&R Manager), moderator-music consultant and 8-12 attendees logged into the A&R HookUp website playlist from around the world.

The format of the session includes an attendee and industry executive get-to-know-you session, question and answer, and record company A&R demo review and live feedback session. During A&R Live Hookup demo review session A&R HookUp's industry guest will listen to your music through their website playlist and give you live feedback on the spot by phone.

If the industry guest likes your music they will request it from you personally and instruct A&R HookUp to provide you with their direct contact info to work your situation to the next level.

OurStage.com

The next website is OurStage.com and they have partnered with NimBit, Unsigned The Magazine, Virgin Festival, BackStage and WagTail Productions just to name a few.

How Does It Work?

OurStage was created for indie musicians so they can get exposure to a wider audience base. Artists are encouraged to rate each other which results in the best artists being placed in the "Best Of" category.

The highest rated artists usually end up winning cash, prizes and media exposure or get selected to go on tour or do major gigs.

TuneCore.com

The next website is called TuneCore.com and they specialize in getting independent music
accepted on iTunes.

The good thing about TuneCore is that they allow the artists to collect and keep every penny of their royalties.

So if you want to take you music career to a new level check out these websites.
