Are you an artist, producer, or music executive looking to maintain your independence? Watch out for the new "upstream deals" being quietly introduced by major labels. These deals can lock you in early and obscure the true extent of majorlabel involvement. In today's video, I'll expose how major labels are acquiring indie distributors to offer these deals under the radar, allowing them to leverage their massive systems without the artist's knowledge. Learn how to identify these deals, understand their implications, and explore alternative options like independent distributors that help you maintain control over your music career. Stay informed and protect your artistic integrity. Don't forget to download our free guide, "10 Ways to Increase Your Record Label Profits," and check out our 60Day Record Label course to navigate the industry like a pro.
