ARTIST DEVELOPMENT
Our artist development service provides a producers ear, songwriting collaboration, artist brand and imaging, digital music distribution, website design/hosting, album design and duplication. Our goal is to help aspiring artist get on the map and on your way to selling albums. We can provide you with all the necessary tools & services to have a successful music career without the need of a Major Label. We specialize in "doing it yourself" but not by yourself. THE LABEL
Our deals are a throw back to Artist Development, the way it use to be, and a hybrid fusion of the digital future. Stepping Out is directly involved with each project from step one to the finished product. Our engineers/producers usually produce (or co-produces) each project we undertake. Our budgets are small and this helps keep the costs down the production, engineering, and recording services are not charged to the project. Our direct involvement also means that we only take on projects we really care about. These recordings are as important to us as they are to the artist. That is one of the things which Stepping Out is special we become a partner in your goals to succeed in your dreams. Another thing we look for when we take on a project is a commitment to performance; in this neck of the music world, most CDs are sold at the artist's performances, popular opinions about the nirvana of distribution not withstanding. Hence, stage presence and touring are also important considerations. Feel Free to submit you music on using www.musicxray.com for Label Consideration, everything will be heard, and either way everything will be answered.
