MusicPromoToday.com presents the Ongoing Struggle Between Label and Artist
It’s of no surprise that in today’s market the struggle between music artists and their prospective labels is even more of a challenge than ever before. The digital age has blown open the doors on how artists need to approach their business, but it is less complicated than one needs to make it, at least from a business perspective. With the advent of the digital age, the sales of CDs and the physical piece of music is not only moot, but is increasingly going the way of the dinosaur. As digital music distributors, we know the struggle for artists to earn their fair share. In this case, it’s actually Richard Carpenter who is fighting on behalf of his sister, Karen. In their case, Richard discovered that their Label, A&M/Universal Music, was underpaying them based on their arranged agreement, but this is something all artists need to watch out for. As is common knowledge, in the music industry the artists are always paid last, so it is important that they know all the places where the buck has stopped. It’s just good business.
