You Don’t Need A Record Label To Be Successful

In this fresh post to MusicThinkTank, Joe Pacheco breaks down why a conventional record label is no longer a necessity for an artist trying to make it in the music industry.
"Based on a 2016 Nielsen study, music streaming saw a “76% increase in on-demand audio streams” in 2016 and is expected to keep growing. Streaming services such as Spotify, Itunes, Soundcloud and even DatPiff are only a few of the most well-known platforms that help artists get their music out to audiences all around the world."
Yep, but having a label might actually be a technical requirement for some distributors – it helps to know you can create one just as a holder to release your music.
