One of AMEG's
core functions is Artist & Repertoire ...
Artist's music promotion, and career
advancement, connecting aspiring
artists who feel they want a record
deal for whatever reason with an indie or
major record label.
Needless to say A&R Services are what we do on
a day to day basis for our artists under contract
to us.
However, over the years we have found that
there are many unsigned artists out there ...
MANY .... who are really in need of of these
A&R Services but have either found that it's not easy
to get a bonafide artist
management or band
management agency's interest or they are not ready to
commit to a contract just yet. Never the
less, without professional marketing, public relations,
music promotion, concert exposure, and access to music
industry professionals with the "JUICE" to make it
happen, they probably never will.
They remain constantly frustrated and need to get
the question "How to get
a record deal" answered. Sort of a
catch-22 isn't it? AMEG distributes this nifty
free tip sheet "What Labels Really Want" monthly to independent
artists. Find out what they are really looking
for.
One way of
getting around this is obviously for the artist to do it
all themselves. This seems to be the trend with
todays indie bands. There was a time when it was a
no-no for artists to submit unsolicited material to
labels but the labels - what's left of them are a little
more open to it these days. However, you need to
do your research and find out which labels accept your
genre, exactly what labels are looking for, and
have accurate record label contact information and
submission guidelines. The most complete and
comprehensive directory that will give you all the label
A&R contact information, including the A&R
representative's title, assistant, record label address,
telephone, email address, and submission guidelines,
etc. is hands down, the music industry's definitive
bible of label contacts, the A&R Registry. You can order
the reasonably priced print directory or subscribe
online to a subscription service, RecordXpress that gives you all
the information pretty much updated on a daily
basis. With the frequent changes in the record
industry today, this is becoming even more
popular. Also available are directories that
provide all the contact information for Film & TV
contacts, Music Publisher Contacts, and Entertainment Attorneys. These
directories furnish everything the independent artist
needs to shop their music, songs, and gain legal
advice. Click
here to get the details on all of the
directories.

There are
a ton of unsigned bands,
performing unsigned artists and
songwriters that find it almost
impossible to get the representation or
music connections they need which will enable
them to advance their music career to the
next level. They may very well have some
potential and be ready for a record
deal, but most management companies and
production companies ... at the least
the one's with industry juice that can honestly do
something for them, are not interested in
investing artist development time and money into these
acts. The investment just doesn't seem
worthwhile. Especially when these
professional agencies don't make a dime until the
band breaks
through. | |

In order for an artist management
company, independent record label - major record
label, or record
producer to
speculate with an unsigned artist
and invest their
valuable time and money they literally have to be
blown away! Believe it ... BLOWN AWAY IS AN
UNDER STATEMENT ... and this is
quite rare. This has left many unsigned
bands and unsigned artists basically "sucking wind"
... between a rock and a hard place.
Constantly frustrated because they really believe in
themselves as do many of their fans, but can't get the
right people to believe in them.
Over the years
this has become very obvious to AMEG. Most of
us here were at one time struggling
musicians ourselves and it bothers us to
see artists with potential fall into this senerio for
lack of music marketing and
music
promotion. So,
we decided that maybe it's time to do something to help
the independent musician and
independent artist
It all began one day in a
meeting when one of our bright young A&R
Services staff members came up with an idea.
"Why not offer the exact same promotional services
and guidance we do as managers for our artists
under contract to other unsigned artists who have
potential. But instead of signing them to an
artist manager contract, we do it on an independent
consultative basis?
Even when
they're not under management contract.
This would
benefit unsigned artists and unsigned bands who
find it difficult to get artist management attention or
don't want to sign a contract just yet. Who knows,
we may just develop the act to the point where they are
ready for professional management and a record
deal. And it just may benefit our company in
the long run."
Our Executive VP was at that
meeting and the rest is now history. Artist consulting
is quickly becoming the trend in the music industry
for independent artists. Hence .... AMEG and
consultative artist's
services division was born and independent
services are now offered to artists with no long
term contract commitment in the following
categories:
If you
would like us to your demo or full
length CD reviewed for possible consideration
into our demo shopping program click
here for our submission
guidelines. This is a fee
based service for artists not under contract.
We will only shop demos that we feel
are worthy. Our reputation with the our label
associates is far too important to us. If you
would like your demo/record, image, and overall
development level evaluated by our professional
Independent A&R staff through our 12 point system
with full comprehensive return report prior to
your submission to record labels, music
publishers, or film and TV supervisors, click
