What It TAKES to SIGN With Atlantic Records A&R

[@LaunchPointBand]

The key points I got from this one is stay true to yourself and don't try to be the next "someone else", be kind to everyone, and work hard. It's worth the effort.

[@MUBUTV]

Great! Those are all crucial points and some more obvious than others, but you’ll be surprised by on how many folks DON’T do that and then they wonder why their career is going nowhere. Thanks again as always for your comments. Cheers from MUBUTV

[@musicbizregistry]

Thanks so much for your feedback.

Stay your self means dont copy others sounds n style ..u can be the next superstar who is not you but not someone else...they dont need the seen before..they wont the never seen and the never heared

[@kjchicago1]

And I agree-it's all about you being an artist for Atlantic Records or any Major Record Company

[@stephenallenmusic]

its good to hear some labels still care about quality

[@MUBUTV]

Absolutely Stephen! It's refreshing to see that in a world driven by numbers, there are still labels that prioritize the art and quality of music. It really makes a difference in the listening experience. 🎶

[@tonytec59vmix]

Seen A&R come and go from atlantic one was even my music promo person with the label before he became atlantic records a&r, hope pamula see's the black urban southern soul music market that bubbling under right now, atlantic was a strong soul label at one time, its back with southern soul. love whats she saying wishing pamela much success in this position. thank you for your share. like this content..

thank you for another great video! i like that atlantic is big, yet artist friendly, not so data driven, and is focused on making good music. balanced with wanting the artist to have a good team and strong work ethic and acknowledging the importance of an artist’s story and personality, who they are behind the scenes and what they stand for. personally, i engage with an artist more once i hear their story, whether i like their music or not. to that end, i’ve read countless memoirs, and learning about their personal and musical journeys often give new meaning to their songs.

[@KoryYinger]

Excellent episode Ritch chocked full of info. I've learned to watch these interviews a couple times before commenting. I pick up something new everytime. Pamela has a passion for not only music but also her position within it. It's awesome to see the excitement in her speech when pointing out her perspective and approach. I was happy to hear her talk about actual artist development and how she believes in it. Also finding the next act before it has become one is amazing to hear coming from the inside. The segment on success was also a mind opener. The degrees of success and their definitions can greatly vary from one artist to another depending on the goal. What I took from that was, first of all have a goal and second focus on the small successes throughout the journey to the goal to stay motivated, inspired and productive. Ritch, the topic of wins for the artist once on board was food for thought for sure. Those incremental gains are huge in maintaining confidence and growth. There were a ton of thought provoking talking points here, thanks for that. As a side note, it may be a cool thing to have a few of these guests in one show. A collaboration of sorts. It would be a much longer episode but could be really interesting. Thanks again guys for the great content. Till next time take care 👍👍🎸🎵🎶

Absolutely, being an A&R (Artists and Repertoire) is no easy task! They have to juggle finding new talent, managing relationships, and making sure everything aligns with the label's vision. It's a challenging role, but also incredibly rewarding when they find that next big star. Keep up the great work with your art! MUBUTV

There’s tons of artists that didn’t get tucked over by the label, it’s possible you just have to have the knowledge so you don’t get fucked over via your ignorance to the industry, that’s where they get you, if you truly do have a market and they do see value in you, you have more leverage then them a lot of people don’t understand that until the deal is already done

All record labels do is aquire assets for themselves, and the money they give you is a debt you owe for your music, likeness, and any other ventures you make in the music industry. It's sad that A&R is your consultant to how you spend your advance while taking a percentage off of the top of your advancement that you have to pay back while taking points off of your record and master points after the release of your music 😂. A&R are the used car salesmen of major record labels. They only consult and sell the idea of fame while taking your money 😂.
