A lot of what is said here is excellent ..........however there are one or more things that can be important
of course in today's market on-line sales are the way to go forward and one can control one' s music and cut out a lot of what in past times has been an artist's downfall......................If at some time you come to a situation where you go beyond the situation where YOU are in control......then big problems can arise...... First of all , it is unlikely that you as a new person to the game will be able to negotiate a deal which will leave you in a good position now and in the future, if your music is likely to go from the small/ medium to the large scale and big time. .................Also, it is possible that if your music does get to this stage then it will have legs and will last.............................many artist never realize that there music might just be around in 20, 30 or even 50 years time......................
I have friends who are in this position and their advice is take adice from someone who knows what they are doing and together with the adviser plan for the future ...................

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
