What Do RECORD LABELS Look For In 2024?
What Do RECORD LABELS Look For In 2024?
Hey musicians! 🎶 Have you ever wondered how record labels scout for new talent these days?
In recent years, record labels have increasingly turned to sophisticated data analytics software to scout for emerging talent.
This technology doesn't just look at music; it delves into social media presence, streaming numbers, and even engagement rates to gauge an artist's existing fan base and their potential.
In the video below, we'll show you some specific examples of brand new artist signings.
Labels are on the hunt for artists who not only have talent, but also come with an existing fan base.
It's all about finding musicians who have already started to make waves, even if they're just ripples for now.
This approach reduces risk and ensures that labels invest in artists who are more likely to succeed in the competitive music industry.
So, what does this mean for aspiring musicians? It's crucial to not only focus on your music and build a solid, engaged community of fans, but to also build your data metrics.
Show that your art resonates with people, and you might just get noticed.
In 2024, it's clear that having a strong online presence and an engaged fanbase can make all the difference for emerging artists.
So, if you're an artist, remember to nurture your super fans and your digital footprint – this is how you get discovered!

📣 Fans are discovering new music on social media. 👇
But the INDUSTRY is discovering new artists on data analytics software.
To attract the attention of the music industry… record labels, managers, agents, promoters… you have to have the DATA that shows you have an existing fan base.
And two of the primary things they are looking for is:
• A Large number of Spotify monthly listeners
• At least one engaged social media account with a large number of followers.
If you have solid data in these two areas, the industry will not only find you, but you’ll have leverage when you negotiate with them when they do.
