Artist Audits ✨

As an indie record label, we get alllll sorts of artist demos & submissions. Some are phenomenal, and some...well...need work. But let's be real - being a musician is hard work these days! To help provide artists a better opportunity for those doors to open, we're now offering a new service to artists!

Our 'Artist Audit: Beyond the Music' offering allows artists to get a comprehensive review of your artistry, directly from our very own CEO, Founder, and Human ! Our promise to artists as part of this service: no nonsense, actionable feedback from a real-life music industry professional. Beyond Paper Garden, Bryan has worked in social media, marketing, PR & sales at a variety of well-known indie & major labels (e.g. Sub Pop, Saddle Creek, Wind-Up, Interscope) - and also pulls from his experience as a Director of Sales in the tech sector.

If you're an artist looking for hands-on support and strategies around how to improve your digital footprint, engage with your fans more meaningfully, develop your artistic infrastructure, figure out what's worth spending your time on or improve results when you're reaching out to labels, venues, booking agents, music supervisors, etc., or think you're ready to turn your artistry into a full-on business plan - this may be for you!

Email [email protected] w/ ‘Artist Audit’ in the subject line if you’re interested

*Serious inquiries only. No this is NOT a free service, and also does NOT mean we'll sign you to the label.

So excited to have been part of launch party and grand opening of their Raise the Bar pop-up, Chelsea London! The space was filled with the smooth sounds of our saxophonist Allexa Nava , creating the most relaxing atmosphere for holiday shopping.

And what’s better than shopping with live music? Having calligraphy artist Edlyl .edlyl there, personalizing gifts on the spot!

It was the perfect mix of art, fashion, and festive fun. Thanks for the chance to take part in this incredible collaboration!
