"He gets artist signed"
Platinum West offers what is
called an EQUITY
Deal.
This is becoming very common especially with major labels.
The Artist contributes a small amount to administrative costs and splits
the profits 50/50 with the label. "Most major label acts are only entitled
to a small share of profits 12- 15 percent of the wholesale price on album
sales and about 3 points lower on single sales."
In most major label situations the artist must sell 250k to 400K units to
receive a penny.
An independent artist who sells a single download track can make as much or
more than a major label artist who sells a full album.
Being Signed to Platinum West
entitles you to many benefits: Including but not limited to, Management, Booking
Companies, Record Company and Distribution Services, Legal Services and career advice. Email bulletins and many major Industry
email blasts are forwarded to you. You
