How do I record my own music?

How to obtain music licenses as a record label?

  • I am currently opening up my own independent record label online. I want to license musicians music for them as a record label, similar to how a big name record label would do for their artists such as Sony music records. I need to know where and how to do this. The information on the internet is not leading me in the right direction, please can anyone help with this? I really need to know how to obtain a large number of music licenses. Is it basically just copyrighting the music? Would I just have to go through the copyright office or is there another way to do this? Please please give me some help on this. Thanks!

  • Answer:

    I strongly recommend you do more research on this and develop a strategy for your label. There are resources out there that can truly benefit you. http://bit.ly/faNdab

You will need to budge your first couple hundred thousand dollars for attorneys to draw up the contracts and do the negotiations for you to break into this business. Music copyright is quite complicated, performers are quite a bunch, and other labels and their attorneys are begging for a fight.

I think by "licensing" you're referring to owning the rights of YOUR artists music? I suggest you get money and a music attorney kid, because you're out of your league. This can only be done through a lawyer, if you want to actually own the rights.
