I am getting your record label course tomorrow when I get paid. I bought the sync course and it was so helpful that I know the label course will be incredible. I've been looking for this kind of help. Thank you for what you do. I'm also thinking about going more direct to audience with my music rather than streaming.

[alfiearock]

For most musicians becoming a record label was never part of the dream, the thpught of doing so now comes from realizing you have an opportunity to cut out a cold hearted third party from owning 75 % or more of you're creations is what motivates the idea of becoming a record label yourself.

[TheMavynonIG]

I think the most important part about building is disregarding all the false narratives & working at your own pace during all that's goin on in the world..especially if you want to do it the correct way. 💯

[BLACKFROFFICIAL]

I'm a professional stagehand, and I am also a hard rock and metal lead and rhythm guitarist whom does all of his music production, songwriting, album artwork, digital artwork, etc. I do it all. because being independent from a trashy industry that of which I am strongly passionate about doing what I love, and getting paid to do what I love... I'd rather be independent.
It's a very rough and tough industry to even work in. No matter how you look at it. Even being a professional stagehand is a very frustraighting industry by itself. The politics that are involved are ABSOLUTE TRASH.

[iNtRoVeRsIoNaLiSm]

What about the ones who are talented and doing this stuff but don't know the right people. It just seems like if you don't know anybody, you can't be anybody.

[JordanAshley-cjpu]

I love all your videos! You are such a helpful individual to all us musicians starting up! Thank you for all you do!

Can you do one of these videos on the promotion, legalities, etc. of filming music videos? That's my next feat...

[jennifergee]

For real though, this channel, the fb group, the courses....theyre EVERYTHING 🎉🎉

[skyhorseprice]

I just found this channel a couple days ago through your video with Fil of Wings Of Pegasus. So I checked y'all out and I gotta say you are _KillinIt_ with galactic level information presentation. And ..I dont think anyone else is doing what you are doing, so you have got a definite 'home field advantage.'
Think Imma stick around awhile❤

[LighttheCelestial]

Super blessed i found this channel 🤝🕺🏾

[ServingMyJesus]

Is it easy to adapt your forms for the various legal systems around the globe?

[GamaheaMusic]

I've made 4 albums and 150+ songs on Udio in the last 2 or 3 months. I've now made a YT channel, though I need to fix it up a bit and correct some stuff. Still haven't uploaded content, I want to secure copyright first. That means more to me than monetization, but I'd like that too, of course. 😉

[kassandreiaoellinas]

Passion Stained Records! In music business degree program now at local community college here in AZ, PVCC!!! Watched this twice! Will be going on your website first thing in the morning to learn about your courses for starting a label! Hoping to sign on artists that want to blend two or more genres such as Soul, R&B, blues, Rock, Alternative, and even various jazz styles!

[jeromeskies]

This is my favorite channel right now. I got your course last night. Can you talk about United Masters? Do you get better deals with a distributor if you are a label? I have 2 other artists that I am planning to have on my label once I get everything registered.

[CurtisMadawavevo]

i love youre videos, im currently building my label .Give us a Subcription, much love from Kenya

[vicmena]

Today I finished a 10 song album. It is ai. Original lyrics, custom generation. I find nothing infringing. Can you make a video of what to do for the next steps? Thank you.

After actually contacting this office and talking to some dude I specifically stated I will only do business with Krystle. The reason why is because men are super narcissistic. I sent over the authentic contract and this guy emailed me back insulting my intelligence thinking I'm dumb enough to have a fake contract. We spend time at the celebrity mansion and recorded the songs at the mansion and was handed the contract in person. This guy only wanted to add extra $2000 in fees stating that if I want them to research to see if the contract is real then that's the extra cost 😂 wow. That's why I only do business with women. He didn't even tell Krystle I guarantee it. I'll find another lawyer. He's going to be the reason they lose business. I was going to actually tip like 10k but I refuse to have my intelligence insulted. You failed.

I want to create a great alternative to the existing streaming platforms for music lovers that also addresses the problems with capitalism’s involvement, with grifters, etc. I just don’t know adopt the revenue model, one that would provide that to the artists fairly and also undercut the shot out of the Spotifys. I want to prove the superiority of intelligence with benevolence over intelligence with greed. I’d love to be hated by the companies serving stakeholders.
