Welcome

 

Let’s face it. It’s all about money! Yes, the entertainment industry seems fun and exciting, but people are in it to make money. Music is an art, however, when it comes to the music industry Music is a business about money!

Music is found in every known culture, past and present, varying wildly between times and places. Around 50,000 years ago, early modern humans began to disperse from Africa, reaching all the habitable continents. Since all people of the world, including the most isolated tribal groups, have a form of music, scientists conclude that music must have been present in the ancestral population prior to the dispersal of humans around the world. Consequently music must have been in existence for at least 50,000 years and the first music must have been invented in Africa and then evolved to become a fundamental constituent of human life.

If anyone or any company feels that your music will not make them money, there will be absolutely no interest in your music. That’s it in the nut shell. The Music Industry is about Money!

A culture's music is influenced by all other aspects of that culture, including social and economic organization and experience, climate, and access to technology. The emotions and ideas that music expresses, the situations in which music is played and listened to, and the attitudes toward music players and composers all vary between regions and periods. "Music history" is the distinct subfield of musicology and history which studies music (particularly western art music) from a chronological perspective.

There's no such thing as insurance on a record project, especially for ROI (Return On Investment), and the only recourse to protect a working investment is to shelve contract any and all real competition that's ignorant enough to sign. The fact it's legal doesn't change the immorality of it one bit.
