Out to Shake Up Music, Often With Sharp Words
TuneCore is a digital distributor in Brooklyn, New
York. Now normally when you are dealing
with the music industry, it is usually based off of gold and platinum record.
TuneCore on the other hand it recognized for their clients. The founder of TuneCore, Jeff Price, is an
independent label owner, which gives him an edge up in the music industry,
because he knows both sides of the industry.
Jeff Price understood the need and was able to meet the needs of many artists.
Based on reality, if you are an artist and you do not have a label that you are
under, it is almost impossible o get your music on iTunes for instance. As a
result of Jeff Price’s keen mindset he actually represents 10% of all music
that is on iTunes.
Now with Jeff Price working on both sides of the table he
has been in positions that were very critical to the music industry. One may say that’s great, but it causes a lot
of problems for the industry. Telling the artists too much negative information
about the label hurts the label.
TuneCore has a system where the they will place the artist’s
music on many different online services and the artist receives 90% of the
royalties directly. Think about it, who would want a label that would filter
their royalties? Jeff Price’s purpose is to make right what other have done
wrong. Jeff Price is all for the artist
and against the labels as a whole. He believes that the artist should get paid.
Jeff Price charges a flat fee, deals with the headaches and the artist sits
back and collects their royalties.
Jeff Price is working on helping people receive their
royalties from international markets. Even though this is a tough area, Jeff
Price refuses to give up. TuneCore
has ventured into publishing, copyright and even the
songwriting sector of the music industry. Jeff Price is known for running his
mouth to help artists, but he is also known for getting good results.
As artists venture out into looking for a company to publish
their music, it is imperative to have a company like TuneCore if you want to be
successful. Even though there may be other companies out there that can get the
job done, you have to look at their track record as well.
