What is Music Distribution?

admin — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 16:52:50 +0000

Music distribution is the process by which albums and singles get into shops. Distribution companies sign contracts with either record labels or, if they plan to release their music independently, the artists themselves. These contracts give music distribution companies the right to sell the labels/artist’s products to record stores, who will usually have a working relationship or account with them. The distributor will generally take a percentage of the income from each album with the remainder is given to the label.

Sometimes, manufacturing and distribution (M & D) deals are arranged. This means that instead of the record label/artist providing a finished product, they will instead have the distributor pay the costs of manufacturing the product before distribution. When this happens, the distributor will often keep all the income from album sales until the initial investment has been paid off, then take their usual cut from thereafter.

The process by which a music distribution company will decide on whether to enter into a contract with a record label or artist is usually down to a few simple factors. One of the overriding aspects of these decisions is money.

Most music distribution companies will only ever enter into a contract if they can guarantee a return on their investment. This can often be determined by the amount the distributors stand to make.

Some companies will take a flat fee for their work and will in turn guarantee a certain level of distribution. Other distributors, as mentioned before, will take a percentage of the sales. With this type of contract the distribution company stands to make a large amount of money if the music sells substantially but could equally lose money if the music they are distributing doesn’t sell.

Another factor determining whether a distributor will enter into a contract is simply whether they believe the music is good. If they do not believe the music to be of a certain quality they won’t think it will sell either. Because of this, record companies are often found to have lasting relationships with music distribution companies. A record label with proven sales will be in a better position to negotiate a contract whereas an independent artist is in the position of not having proven sales and therefore will be in a worse position.

Pop Music Icons

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 10:45:19 +0000

Pop music is usually comprised of happy, upbeat rhythms with simple melodies and lyrics that relate to love, relationships, sex and dancing. It is not a genre that is meant to bring deep and serious world issues to the fore, nor is it meant to invoke introspection and reflection. It’s there simply to bop around to, and join in the rousing chorus at the top of your lungs. Its feel good music, designed for fun and lighthearted entertainment.

Unlike other music genres such as rock and hip hop, where the songs are often written by the artists themselves, pop songs are usually written by professional songwriters. In order to generate as much exposure as possible, artists create music videos and stage extravagant live performances to attract media interest. Music videos are particularly important as they can enjoy international commercial success and thus reach an extremely wide audience. This has made pop, arguably the world’s biggest music genre.

“Popular music” has been around since the 50s, with people such as Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley falling into the category. Pop music, as most of us know it, really came into its own in the 80s with the rise of artists such as Michael Jackson and Madonna.

Michael Jackson had nine no.1 singles in the US alone during the 80s, and sold over 136 million albums even though he only released two, Thriller and Bad. This ensured that he became the most successful artist of the 80s and earned him the title “King of Pop”.

Madonna was another emerging 80s artist who reached iconic status. Widely regarded as the “Queen of Pop”, Madonna has experimented by blending pop with a number of other music genres and has sold over 230 million albums globally. Her album, Like a Virgin achieved Diamond status; one better than Platinum and her single Vogue is one of the biggest selling singles in history. It has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.

The 90s was not a good decade for pop. It saw the emergence of boy bands and girl groups resulting in the Backstreet Boys, N’SYNC and that fascinating UK phenomenon, the Spice Girls. Groups were assembled more for their looks and appeal to teenage audiences than any real singing talent. Towards the end of the 90s we saw a rise of bubble gum pop and aspiring divas, Britney Spears and her competition, Christina Aguilera. Christina experimented and evolved; Britney stagnated in the sex kitten look and had a breakdown. Australia’s Kylie Minogue, a former 80s icon, experienced a revival that carried her through to the next century. Latin pop burst onto the scene with Ricky Martin swinging his hips and Shakira shaking everything else.

The 2000s have seen a lot of artists take time off from their bands to record solo albums such as Gwen Stefani, while others simply left their bands to pursue solo careers like Justin Timberlake and Robbie Williams. We’ve seen the rise of Teen pop, who’ve been given a boost by the Disney Channel, as well as Pop Punk like Fall Out Boy and pop rock like Pink. The popular reality show American Idol has changed the way in which many people achieve fame and commercial success in the music industry. Some artists have proved that it is possible to successfully blend pop music and R&B, artists like Nelly Furtado and Rihanna.

Some modern day icons include:

Justin Timberlake, who rose to stardom on the tails of one of the more successful boy bands, N’SYNC. He chose to leave the band and pursue an independent solo career and in 2002 released his debut album titled, Justified. After a break of about four years, in which he recorded with other artists, began a movie career, started a fashion label, William Rast, and established his own record label, Tennman Records, he returned to the studio and released his second album, FutureSex/LoveSounds. He has sold over 15 million albums worldwide.

Nelly Furtado first came to our attention in 2000 when she released her debut album, Whoa, Nelly. “I’m like a bird”, her breakthrough single from the album, won her a Grammy award and established her as an artist to watch. In 2003, after taking some time off to have her first child, she released her second album, Folklore, which didn’t fare as well commercially as Whoa, Nelly did. However, her latest album, Loose, which she released in 2006, has put her firmly back on the hit parade. It has had several hit singles, most notably, “Promiscuous”, “Maneater”, “Say It Right” and “Do It”. Nelly is not afraid of experimenting with her sound and often incorporates different instruments, sounds, languages and vocal styles into her music. She claims to have attributed her new youthful sound on Loose to the presence of her two-year old daughter.

Kylie Minogue has one of the longest standing and most successful careers in pop music history. She’s seen out the 80s, the 90s and has enjoyed huge success in the 2000s. She is primarily famous in Europe and Australia, although her popularity in the US is growing. She is one of the world’s most easily recognisable celebrities and earned herself thousands of new fans by the brave manner in which she battled breast cancer and dealt with her resulting hair loss. In January 2007 Madame Tussaud’s in London revealed a new waxwork of Kyle, the fourth one. The Queen is the only person in the world to have had more models created.

This November Kylie will release her much anticipated 10th album, her first in four years. For most of her career Kylie has been regarded as a gay icon, which she encourages with good humoured comments such as this one, “I am not a traditional gay icon. There’s been no tragedy in my life, only tragic outfits.” She acknowledges and appreciates her gay support base by openly supporting AIDS and gay rights causes.

Jerkin’ – The New Wave of Hip Hop Fashion

admin — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 18:59:36 +0000

Remember the nineties? When hip hop was a culture, a life style, a way of living and breathing and dressing? Most would argue that it has been unwillingly moved aside by club and rap music. Hip hop is lost and while artists like Jay-z and Common and Nas and The Roots and LL are still practicing music, they are consistently overshadowed by hooks and catchy phrases and trendy styles. Although this form of music fades and is replaced by newer more gimmicky music, you have to wonder. With songs like You’re a Jerk making a huge wave and causing an all new “hip hop” style, what will become of the past hip hop fashion rules and absolutions?

The song is very catchy the dance is fun and the style represented goes against the grain entirely, which is why it is so successful. People are always looking for the hot new thing and leopard skinny jeans and fitted t-shirts are it! Or are they? The starters of the new dance craze are have set a trend and as usual the masses will follow. It’s just funny because wearing pants that hugged ever so tightly was once (not too long ago) a major no-no. Now most all the young men are running around with their skinny jeans sagging down almost to the end of their rear ends and ‘Jerkin’ as they stroll down the street. The young ladies used to mock boys endlessly when they saw then wearing tight jeans as it was a sign of having no fashion sense. Now the girls are praising the boys for wearing the brightest boldest colors of skinny jeans!

It’s a lot to digest as I am a hip hop head. Looking around you begin to feel one of three ways about the music and lifestyle you’re passionate about when you see it change. Excited, because there is innovation, aggravated at the constant gimmicks or you become a gimmick by creating a new one. I personally am just waiting to see how hip hop answers! We shall see.

There’s No Magic Pill to Make Your Own Beats

admin — Thu, 06 May 2010 02:07:15 +0000

In this Hiphop “Matrix” there is no shortcut to being successful. In other words, Neo, there is no blue pill! There is nothing magical about making your own beats. There is nothing magical about being successful.

However there is a formula for luck and here it is:

Luck = Opportunity + Preparation

Let’s break that down really quick. You’ve heard of people being in the right place at the right time. We’ll they were lucky. An opportunity presented itself and they were prepared when it happened. No magic necessary.

So the question is how can you be prepared when an opportunity presents itself?

I like to relate my lessons by using my own experiences so here is a perfect example of how I was lucky. At my church, our youth ministry was working on events for planning their youth week. The director of the youth ministry was a friend of mine by the name of Server. Server had seen my group Prophetix perform several times before and he and several other people asked me if we would perform during youth week. I was a bit hesitant at first but I eventually said yes.

About a week later, I was told that KRS-ONE would be performing for our youth week as well. I thought that would be cool because I knew we would be opening up for him. Well, the show went better than I expected and KRS was very impressed with our show. I knew he was giving a lecture to the kids the following day so I went to it because I had heard him speak many times before. He did a History of Hiphop speech that was great!

Later that day, the church had a fish fry and all the kids took pictures with KRS. As we were leaving, I got a “gut feeling” that I should ask him for a contact number. I followed my instinct and asked. He gave me his number but stated it would best if I called him when he got back in 2 weeks from touring in California.

This is were the “luck” comes in…

I asked him if I could come on the tour with him and he looked at me real serious and replied “Word! Are you serious?” My response of course was “YES”. He said the he could work it out but he’d have to check on the logistics. I was to call the number he had given me on Sunday evening and you bet I did.

I called the other members of Prophetix and let them know what was going on and they couldn’t believe it but I could. Lo and behold, I get a phone call back from KRS and he told me that he wouldn’t pay for our trip out to California but he would pay for our trip back, pay for our hotel, pay us $500.00 a piece, and pay us a per diem which is money for every day we were out there in Cali. Sounded fair to me. The total time from me asking him could I go to actually being on a plane to Los Angeles was less than a week!

My “luck” got even better though…

When we got settled in Los Angeles, we had a meeting with KRS where we were debrief on how the shows would go. He explained that he didn’t want us to open up for him but he wanted us to actually be on stage with him during his set. No joke. Talk about a trill. Imagine being on stage with KRS-ONE while you perform his classic joints with him in front of packed audiences. It was great! And we got to perform in so many other cities in Cali from San Fransisco to San Diego in the process so that made the 2 weeks even better.

So yes, I do consider myself lucky but I was prepared when the opportunity presented itself. That is the point I’m making.

Are you prepared if someone comes to you right now and asks you for a CD full of beats or a full demo package? What have you done up to this point in your career to say that you are ready for a life changing opportunity? You should always be prepared for an opportunity. You’ll never know if it will be the lucky one that changes your life.
