No. They are what they are a digital delivery platform not a label. If you do not spend min $1500 on publicist, $1500 marketing & advertising, and touring, oh and about $1500 on swag theses are monthly cost. You will not have any sales or career. By using this service says you are a label, but if you think you can release and not spend you will be disappointed. If you cannot self fund your career no major label will invest into you that is the truth and a fact. You need money lots of it. The people who wake up and do what I mentioned will always succeed. Oh and I have not even mentioned to really collect your money you will need to hire an administrator period. I recommend everyone take some classes online at Berkeley music, have a clue before you fail. Don’t believe the hype there is nobody at these services that can help you if they see you do such and such. It’s all bs just like the street hustle. Don’t fall for it.you want a real record deal do what the pros do. Master you craft, build a dream team, further your education in music business. Music business is just that 10% music the rest is business. Stop looking far a short cut because it does not exist.

No not really they are in the business to distribute artists and some even provides Label services for a fee or a % and not all take on artists liek that if u not popping creating a buzz has a solid fanbase that u actually interact with basically they and everyone companies A&R's booking venues check your data your social pages so no we cant lie to them i can detect anyone here or online around the world who says they popping buzzing in their home town online. You'll be surprised to see how many artists and even IG oomodel so called celebrities faking it and the real data numbers dont lie. so all these artists thats paying for fake likes, bots farms boosting their online presence fake fans bots and spotify tidal apple fake streams we have a way to finding out that will make no one wanna partner work with u too and at the end will actually hurt the artists more than helping them u wont really know who is who your true fans one thing i know and learned that fake followers fans bots likes doesnt support artists music, they dont buy merchs, tickets to ur shows, and maybe get u some decent amount of streaming plays but once spotify, apple, tidal, youtube finds out then u banned smh so is it really worth it to fake it till u still dont make it at all, its best to not be lazy trying to find out the easy way out just go get ur money up save get loans invetsors and hire the right team and that will make any major small mid size company label to work partner with u more and u will even have enough clout leverage to get the right deal with a major or stay independent with a major label services deal.

When you release your music with AWAL you can submit a campaign form in advance of the release, which more or less highlights what you are accomplishing between releases and determines the push. Them playlisting you is subjective as it still requires A and R's reviewing your music and seeing where it might fit in. It's not as blind of service as it may seem.

Making GOOD music consistently will get you heard! I know that‘s not what an atist that’s just starting out wants to hear but if you just sit and think about song/project CONCEPTS and then go to the studio to sit with your producer and then get all the tracks mixed & mastered by a decent engineer, get someone to make your visuals in „different formats“ so you can put it out on all your social media platforms + TIME is all you need. Learn how to come up with dope CONCEPTS and find different producers who understand your LANGUAGE. Use TuneCore instead of all these other stuff because they‘ll let you keep all of your rights...I WISH PEOPLE WOULD LISTEN AND STOP WASTING TIME AND ENERGY.

And especially the ones thats offering label services playlists pitching for a % fee and see what they really about if they are just all talk or actually do what they said they will do. and never sign an exclusive with them where if they Fd up u can take ur music songs singles to another distributor. some have a way of locking u into a bs contract so be aware of that foul ish man. make sure to always ask them have proof ok.

rasheemthebest don’t know about the other distributors but amuse goes by data and numbers. If your an artist doing good under their name, they’ll ask for a split deal which is 50/50, not a 360 deal. If you do they give you special privileges like Instagram verification, your music will be on curated playlist, basically a lot of promotions, and maybe you could do some shows with their company.

Yes u can always decline the deal that u been offered, it depends what the deal is about though. look at how Lil Nas x was offered a million $ deal to saty upstream deal with Amuse 50/50 and he declined it and went on to sign with Columbia among other lables bidding war right (which im sure he doesnt own any of his masters) if i was him i wouldnty sign with Columbia or any majors if i wasnt able to keep our masters, there's so many other better ways avenues to go and still owns ur masters couldve stayed with Amuse 50/50 and a million $ as long they offering full promotion marketing labels ervices tour support pr, and Sync placements into various media films, tv, ad, games etc. I would probably sign with them and still own my masters, and or better yet coul'dve gone with one opf the top 3 major distribution arm division of top 3 major labels like Caroline/Capitol (Universal) where 50 Cents G-Unit, QC The Migos and others at, Red Music / Orchard (Sony) where Cinematic Music Group Joey Badass and others at, ADA (Warner) all takes 30% and help u with label servives, promo, marketing Sync Licensing, Tour support and with these majors can easily be in house collabs connects easier to get clearnace and collab n get on the top major Film, tv soundtracks imagine we as indie artists gotten into Suicide Squad Sountrack thats major points promos marketing right there and all these fans of that sounbdtrack would hear ur track and could become your fans thats one example lol. but with those are harder to get these deals unless u really making noise can prove u making from $100k - $200k though lol. and have a team they can work with no one is checking for artists to develop anymore u have to already establish that have ur own team.

And if the deal is good where u can throw them some extra cash or they can do u a favor along with that cash by even posting the track collabo on their social pages great promo marketing and even have them perform that song together at their shows where u the new artist open up for them and they can do the same, vise versa in your hometown think how much buzz tractions and fan u can generate and once these companies see that majors small top mid size labels venues agencies, managements co. will start getting at u.
