1st Addition to the Team
Hey everyone, I started my own label. Just me and my wife as right now lol, but it's a start on the right track. I want to start a team. As an artist to roll music out faster, I was thinking of a music engineer first. As a marketer, I was thinking of a social media specialist. What do you all think?

I think a music engineer should be first; it's essential that the sound be on point. The engineer is one of the most important members of your team. I went through so many engineers until I found one who could mix and master my sound to the way I liked. Shoutout to mine. Finding an engineer is crucial. I pay about $300 to $350 per song for my engineer to mix and master my track, and I also receive the session files (A cappella, TV Track, and Instrumental). Once you have the music, you can then hire a graphic designer for the artwork. I think the Social Media Specialist should be last.

@Stephen Johnson A master of all is a master of none. My advice is to anaylze what you're good at and recruit people in the things you lack in. Trying to do it all will have a mean learning curve and delay your chance of making a career in music.

Hey, Serena it's nice to see you.
What's Your preference?
Do you prefer the independent route or the label.

I prefer a partnership with a major label because I do R&B and there aren't any independent artist, who haven't signed to a major that made it to superstar status without one.

We need to talk about Muni Long. For those of you who don't know her, she just won a Grammy for Best R&B performance, beating out the likes of Beyoncé and Mary J. Blige. But here's the kicker... rewind just 18 months and she had 0 monthly listeners. Yes, you read that correctly, 0. To be clear, we're not talking about overnight success here. This journey took dedication, perseverance, and taking some risks. When her first EP dropped in July 2021 her songs were getting less than 100 streams per day. During that time Muni would... - Shoot down her own ideas down before she even started making the content. - Compare her results to other people's, putting unnecessary pressure on herself. - Felt like content that performed poorly made her a "failure" But then, a series of creative posts on TikTok/IG Reels in addition to utilizing her connections on socials led to one of her tracks (which wasn't even a single) going from less than 100 streams on Spotify per day to more than 20,000 per day — in just 3 weeks. That song didn't even prove to be her biggest hit that year... following this strategy and applying some key takeaways from the first campaign ensured that her track, "Hrs & Hrs" racked up more than 50,000 streams per day. And here's another kicker... that track wasn't even a single and it only came out on November 21st that year, and yet it became the 7th most streamed song on Apple Music of 2021. Now, I'm sure what you're most interested in is what was this strategy that Muni Long was using? Well, we've since gone on to name this strategy "The 90 Day Blueprint" and Muni is just one example of how effective it has been for artists in a similar position to you.

As an R&B/ Hip Hop Hybrid I find this case study to be interesting. I studied Muni Long rising from a far, but it would be dope, If I had access to the blueprint that made her a star.
