Larger indie labels and major subsidiaries are difficult to docHub without an existing following, and majors are extremely selective with who they sign. Dont be put off by this though small labels are often great to work with (depending on who it is), and can also teach you a lot about the industry.
Thumbs Up (The Pros) for Indie Labels Close Relationships. Due to the small size of an independent label, it makes all the experiences more personal. Creative Freedom in Your Music Career. Artist-Friendly Contracts. Size of Independent Labels. Money Compared to Major Labels. Less Industry Influence.
Some labels will give you an advance and will put aside a budget for this. In exchange, they will want your rights either forever or for a really long time before they revert back to you. Think critically about the label deals that you want to get into and that serve you.
Labels definitely have their upsides, like built in audiences for certain genres and strong industry connections. Personally, I lean toward partnering with the right label later on rather than working with an agency, but in the early stages, growing independently usually gives you a better foundation.

There are so many pros to staying independent. Keeping all your profits, music rights and making all your decisions. It can be a harder road, without all the resources of a major label though. But highly rewarding.
Having a solid online presence is crucial. Indie labels often look for artists who have already built a fanbase and can demonstrate consistent engagement on social media and streaming platforms. This shows that you have an audience that cares about your music and that youre serious about your career.
