Record Label Boring Stuff and FUN Stuff
You can skip to the fun stuff or read the boring stuff and the move on to the fun stuff. Whatever gets you movin! :)
BORING STUFF
Along with my recording and rehearsal studios, I own a small independent record label, Wild Falcon Records. It is a small and very young record label. By small, I mean that the label is not a cash flush label like many established and large indie labels and major labels. The big labels have big budgets and when they sign artists the label is the executive sponsor/producer (i.e. the people with the money paying for recording studio time, paying for artist development and management, and paying for all of the marketing and advertising).
Wild Falcon Records works differently and partners with the recording clients of Haggard Studios and provides services (the grunt work and paper shuffling) to set up global digital distribution and to collect and distribute earnings to the artists. Because Wild Falcon Records does not pay for the recordings and all of the artist marketing and stuff like that, Wild Falcon Records takes a very small cut of the proceeds and does not own any copyrights to the music. If a song hits, the artist gets the bulk of the money. Since Wild Falcon Records is not sinking a pile of money into the artists, it is only fair Wild Falcon Records does not get much of the proceeds.
So...... so much for the business stuff.
FUN STUFF
In December 2013, Wild Falcon Records released the song "You Gonna Lose That Girl" by Carl Meeks and Little Mameeks. The song is based on a Dancehall Reggae beat produced by Pedro Hernandez out of Kingston, Jamaica, Carl Meeks' home town. In Jamaica, Carl Meeks is a legend and he is a reggae star in Japan and Europe.
"You Gonna Lose That Girl" by Carl Meeks and Little Mameeks peaked on the iTunes Dancehall Reggae Charts at #16 (reported by Art of the Mix).
In February 2014, Wild Falcon Records released the song "Warm Me Up" by the Jimmy Haggard Band. Coincidentally at the same time, the Jimmy Haggard Band soared on the ReverbNation Blues Charts peaking at #7 in the USA and #10 in the world.
"Warm Me Up" by the Jimmy Haggard Band peaked on the iTunes Blues Charts at #26 (reported by Art of the Mix).
Until next time...
Enjoy the Music!
