Hi, glad so many people have gotten something out of this and thanks to Burstimo for having me on. I rarely if ever have time to give individual feedback on an unsolicited demos (it actually takes me a long time to do properly) so hopefully being on a platform like this is a little bit of help. I can see from the comments though that I've left lots of things out, so happy to come back and answer questions at some point if the bosses at Burstimo will have me. Good luck, Oh, and thanks to that pineapple person for the request!

Personally, I feel like it's 90% "spitting in the booth" cause if you suck then no amount of A&R is going to fix it for you. The other 10% = Production Value / Vision.

That was totally fascinating! We don't get the chance enough to hear from people on the other side as small artists.

I'd rather make 10% of 1 million $ than 100% of 46.35$ hahaha

[@ryansilveramusic]

Best 44mins I've spent in a while. Really insightful and the closing part turned out very motivating. Labels have so many spots in a particular time slot, it'd be great to amplify your work however the ultimate answer is creating an audience and communicating with them with some sort of narrative.

@@xXAjaxXx A funny 'band development story': In the late sixties the famous danish band, savage rose, was offered a record deal by RCA. They went to USA and RCA only had one condition - that they should go to Vietnam and play for the American soldiers. The band refused to sign, which made the RCA guys freak out completely. RCA had their passports and refused to give it to them, before they - as a punishment - had played 3 times a day for a month at their new club in LA, without pay. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn2me6VjjL1_osk kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXfcl3StbbWqZ9k Possibly, the record companies have 'earned' their reputation.

With the right narrative it can really help you find the natural home/demographic for your work. I guess this is why I've held back from making risk investments in marketing my project.
