HERE'S WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO!

INDEPENDENT ARTISTS OF VARIOUS GENRES OFTEN BELIEVE THE ONLY WAY TO FIND SUCCESS IN THEIR CREATIVE FIELD IS TO SEEK CONTRACTUAL DEALS WITH MAINSTREAM MUSIC, TV, FASHION, AND ENTERTAINMENT COMPANIES. AS A RESULT, MOST ARTISTS STRUGGLE ECONOMICALLY TO MAKE A DECENT LIVING FOR THEMSELVES. WE DISAGREE WITH THIS POPULAR IDEOLOGY, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE HAVE DECIDED TO CHALLENGE IT! WE BELIEVE THE BUSINESSES INDIE ARTISTS TRULY NEED SHOULD BE CREATED BY ARTISTS. AND NOW THEY DO NOT HAVE TO DO IT ALONE.
