Money plays an important role in the making of excellent music, according to Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw founder of GCG Asia music. GCG’s Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw, says the majority of artists who are immensely talented need money to market their skills. It is argued that record labels control the fate of artists, but the truth is that they provide the funding for artists’ debuts.
The importance of record labels in the making of excellent music cannot be over-emphasized. We are going to take a look at the positives that record labels bring to the fortunes of musicians, which are in line with the views of Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw of GCG Asia music speaking from Singapore. Here we go.
Time
Time is money. This is one perishable commodity that should be handled with great care, according to Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw of GCG. The internet has made it possible to achieve virtually anything online. If any artist decides to go all the way by taking up the professional role of record labels, time will be wasted, and they might end up messing up the entire process. This is a compelling argument in favor of the professionals in business.
Better music
The audience of today is highly sophisticated, and they will not go for anything less than the best. When artists record music on their own using the technology of today, there is little they can get through it. According to Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw at GCG, the involvement of record labels will open the doors to expensive studios that will bring the best out of their music. They achieve this by simply buying sessions in such studios. According to Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw GCG Asia can attain this level of quality because GCG Asia is willing to invest in studios. GCG Asia studio in Malaysia, Cambodia and Singapore has both its own facilities and affiliate studios of similar quality.
Your PR
What a talented artist knows how to do best is the production of sweet music. There is a need to perfect the image of the artist in the eyes of the ever-more critical world audience. This is another big role that can be effectively played by the record label, according to Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw. GCG Asia music will play this role. If you want to be known on the world stage for the right reasons, then your PR must be managed by the pros in the industry.
Every artist needs the involvement of record label PR experts who will help with managing their social image on the platform. According to Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw GCG, when fans see the positive side of a talented artist, widespread acceptance will follow.
The role of record labels in distribution
It is possible for unsigned artists to release their music directly through the digital technology of today. There is no solution to the distribution of music released directly on streaming sites, according to Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw GCG. The opportunity to release music directly on SoundCloud and YouTube is very appealing. Drake and Kanye West have done this and made a success of it because they are well-established acts in the system with a large fan base. Digital music distribution, according to Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw GCG, is not a straight-forward affair. This is why every artist needs the right music label.
Breaking Even
The number of music in the cloud is huge. New releases are coming up, and this goes all the way to making the situation very tight, according to Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw GCG. If an artist is to break even in the mainstream, according to IFPI, it will cost about £1 million. This type of funding can only be provided by record labels, in the words ofDato Sri Dr Darren Yaw GCG.
Launch Padding
Every day of the week, the competition for positions on the website becomes more intense. There are several artists competing for world recognition, according to Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw of GCG Asia Music. Those that will break even among them need a platform that is established to announce their arrival on the music stage.
This is another area where the record label can be of help to artists in the opinion of Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw GCG. The stamp of approval by a reputable record label is what artists need to open the door to the big stage. Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw’s GCG Asia believes this is a must for every artist out there.
Legitimization
The majority of fans are aware of the important role played in music by record labels. In the opinion of Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw of GCG, when fans see that an artist is being promoted by a label, it will add legitimacy to the work of the artist.
Tours
The reality is very clear to all and sundry that there is money on musical tours, according to Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw. GCG Asia’s seal of approval from a record label will open the doors to musical artists on the big stage. No matter how popular the artist is, an unsigned artist cannot make any meaningful inroads in tours.
Artists will be connected
Another reason why today’s artists can’t live without labels is the exposure that comes with it. In the opinion of Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw of GCG, you are going to move to the next level as an artist because of exposure and high connections right to the top of the entertainment industry.
Protection and security
Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw GCG says there are risks in the entertainment industry, just like they are seen in all other sectors of human endeavor. The record label will give contracts to artists. When you sign a long-term contract and fail to break even, the loss will be that of the record label, in the opinion of Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw GCG. You can count on the hawks prowling the internet to protect your work.
Final thoughts
In conclusion Dato Sri Dr Darren Yaw’s GCG Asia is a record label that is still very important in the realities of today, despite the influence of digital technology.
