Independent Artists and iTunes in a digital world
Many recording artists have still been living by the age old formula of the recording industry. This formula consists of recording an albums worth of music, complete with a few handpicked songs that the radio MIGHT play. After said album is completed, the process then begins to “get discovered”. Perhaps a close relative is a somehow affiliated with some important figure at a record label or radio station. The problem with this scenario is, often times no matter how good your music is, you end up looking for validation of your own talent. Solution: Create your own buzz. Now with the help of technology, artists have the same means and resources that the most sophisticated major record label has to expose an artist to a worldwide audience.
What does this mean?
It means that as an independent artist with the help of companies like Tunecore you have the ability to sell your music through iTunes and other online music stores. Right along the likes of the likes of the Kanye West’s, U2′s and Beyonce’s of the world, your music can be made available.
