You have to take care of your own brand, social media, and music releases, and if you're running a label at the same time, it can get messy and complicated. I must admit that running a label is hard work, especially if you're an independent artist yourself.

Marketing is crucial in running a label, and it's essential to have some knowledge about it. This includes building the brand image, creating a social media presence, and promoting the label through events, merchandise, and other activities. My friend, Justin, takes care of the marketing aspect of our label. This is something I handle, and I must say, it requires a lot of organization and attention to detail. In terms of administration, it's important to keep track of all the songs and contracts of your artists, as well as registering the songs to collect royalties from all over the world. To get a better grasp on this, I highly recommend reading the book 'How to Make it in the New Music Business' by Ari Herstand, which provides all the information you need to run a successful business in music. This includes knowing about contracts, royalties, publishing, and sync licensing. The first thing to keep in mind when running an independent label is to have a thorough understanding of the music business. I'm here to share some tips for anyone who is interested in starting their own label, just like Rick Rubin did in a dorm and I’ve been “kinda” doing it from a van! I have been running an independent record label with my best friend for two years now.
