These are difficult times for the music industry. CD sales have plummeted as people swap files, illegally download and burn copies for friends. The traditional music business model is failing and record labels are scrabbling to find a way forward. Many are in panic, losing money hand over fist, merging with other companies in the wider “entertainment industry” in the hope of survival, or simply closing their doors altogether. Yet for others, this isn’t a crisis at all. It is a cause for celebration, a new beginning, a golden opportunity.
Make Mine Music is a truly radical independent label, established in 2002, run and owned by the artists themselves. The artists pay for the manufacture and promotion of their own records and correspondingly they receive 100% of any income generated by those releases. There is no middleman. The label and its artists are not bound by conventional music industry constraints. There are no management pockets to line, no shareholders to please, no restrictive contracts or demands placed on the artists. The artists themselves are in control and they are rewarded fairly for their hard work. Six years and 50 releases since its inception, Make Mine Music is proof that there is another way of working. By buying a Make Mine Music release, you are supporting the artist directly and keeping the spirit of independence alive.
