· With the industry changing so much, would you stay indie or sign to a label? Why and why not?
· I might choose to stay indie because it gives me complete control over my music and brand. I can stay authentic, make the music I truly believe in, and connect with my audience on a personal level. With the digital age, there are so many tools available for independent artists to grow their fan base, monetize their work, and reach global audiences without giving up creative freedom. On the other hand, signing to a label could offer opportunities for wider exposure, resources, and industry connections that are hard to access on your own. If the right label comes along that understands my vision and values, it could help elevate my career and bring my music to a larger platform. However, I’d want to make sure I retain enough creative control and get fair treatment in the deal. So it’s hard to decide between the two.
