Questions

Question 1:

You’re a musician. You want to get your music out to as many people as possible, and making a buck or two in the process would be nice as well.

Would you accept – instead of the normal risk based, sales model recording contract – a sponsorship deal from a big company (say, Nike or Google) which gets you the same amount as you’d get from selling 250,000 records?

Oh, I forgot to mention the record company gives away the music for free.

Question 2:

You want to put out a record. Why do you even need a label? You could disseminate your music digitally with next to no cost, so what do you benefit from using a record label?

Work is quite fun at the moment.
