iTunes to gain 6,000 unsigned artists

I know alot of Unsigned Artist are looking for that deal, and the deals are still out there. You just need to invest into yourself, and position yourself the right way. You need someone for everything (NO GOOD). You need to become everything. Learn to do beats. Learn to online/street marketing independently, Learn to how to put a MIX CD together. Learn to do a youtube, learn to get ya music on itunes. Learn! Learn! Learn! Become needed in the game. In order for people to want to do business with you they must have a need for you. YOU NEED TO BE NEEDED!

You can't be cheap when it comes to your future. I've noticed artist trying to cut corners trying to use they friends equipment, waiting for there manager to pay for studio time, or some are so cheap they don't even want to invest their own money into their own mixtape. The streets need to know who you all are. It's great promotion for people to want to book you for shows, and so on.

That's why you all are not signed ya'll being cheap, and the second biggest thing is you don't have the proper contacts. I discovered a site where they are basically giving you all the contacts you need to get your music to the right people. The contacts are strong, and ya'll need them. If you not where you need to be then you need these connects. Consider this a blessing.

What is it with all the unsigned music freaks?

I got nothing against unsigned artists but the vast majority of them totally suck, that's why they're not signed yet.

I like good music. Show me an unsigned artist that is good, and I will be their fan. But I like a lot of popular music, there is definitely some good stuff, and categorically dismissing commercial music is just as bad as categorically dismissing unsigned artists.

yay, more DRM free music for iTunes!

I hate to double-post, but plenty of indie artists (including those signed by indie labels, not just unsigned) have no interest in being picked up by major labels.

Garrison Starr was on Geffen in the 90s, and was dropped. She has absolutely no interest in re-signing with anyone. She's told me herself. Her music since becoming indie is better than her past work, as far as I'm concerned.

Gabriel Mann, another LA piano player (and friend of Sara Bareilles), isn't particularly concerned with a major label contract. He's content having his songs picked up by major televison shows (he was in Arrested Development, and his new group is in Grey's Anatomy tonight).

Just because you're unsigned (or not signed to a major label), doesn't mean you're not good.

Great music is returning to commercial radio, albeit slowly. The Singer-songwriters are moving back into the popular spotlight. Sara Bareilles is a prime example - an LA singer-songwriter with an indie record under her belt, and then a huge radio hit.

It would have been better if she could have stayed indie, but at least the record companies are recognising some of the talent the coffee shops and clubs are hiding.

Good. More music coming to iTunes. However, they should also sign developers and get more apps in the AppStore. And also try not to annoy them !

I think this is great. No, all 6,000 artists won't be good, but how many "established" music acts are all that great are unique anyway? There promises to be more than few diamonds in the rough:

unsigned and indie are not necessarily the same thing.. indie usually means "not signed to sony bmg, universal, emi, or universal"

indie != good

indie just means it's made off-label.

6000 new indie artists doesn't mean 6000 good indie artists, it means 6000 bands which for whatever reason couldn't get signed.
