Record Label Quotes

Even though we’re not the most punk rock band, the way we’ve done things is pretty punk rock. Just kinda say it with a big middle finger to the record labels and do it ourselves Picture Quote #1

When you don’t have a record label and you have been on your own as we have, you can look at all these other ways you can get in touch with other people and get music out there again Picture Quote #1

We were 6 feet under. A lot of people gave up on us, including fans and critics and show promoters and record labels Picture Quote #1

At my second record label, they told me and other female artists that some of us were going on the chopping block. I was 19... And it was devastating Picture Quote #1

I get bored easily, so I need to do a lot. I've started a record label, so I get to nurture new talent and talk about music, which is a passion of mine. I've written another book. And I get to come to work and do the TV show, which is always really fun Picture Quote #1

I want to invest and have my own record label and artists. I want to have a business where my kids, kids, kids will still have something going on long after I’m gone Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t really matter to me what the rest of country is doing. I’m not caught up in trying to make a record that sounds like everybody else. That, to me, is a record label’s absolute biggest downfall Picture Quote #1

I had taken some of my solo music into the record label. They didn’t really care for the direction I was moving in and I found it really disheartening. They wanted a pop hit, which I understand in terms of making money. I get that. But what they were going to ask of me was something I wasn’t prepared to deliver and I felt kind of trapped. I just stopped writing. I just stopped. It was stifling Picture Quote #1

On everything I do I’m always taking someone’s money, whether it’s a movie studio or a record label. Somebody’s paying for it, and I’m always respectful of that. But I’m never going to compromise Picture Quote #1

I’m confused that there is a lack of faith in listening to and deciding what is a great song and instead going for these formulaic, bad songs over and over again. But that’s what happened when people from beverage companies bought record labels and radio stations as opposed to people who love music owning record labels Picture Quote #1

I love the road. That’s always been my goal. I’ve said that to many record labels. I want to make records. The road is my favorite. Some people hate the road, I love the road Picture Quote #1

Commercial success still hasn’t come to an artist that isn’t signed to a record label. There are very few artists that can succeed without the help of a record label. The role of the record label is still required, it’s still necessary Picture Quote #1

Shoot, there’s a committee to tell you everything at a record label. You definitely have to know who you are if you want to look like you at the end of the process. We’ve all seen people get record contracts, and by the time they’re spit out by the machine, we don’t even recognize them Picture Quote #1

You can now be a master of your own destiny. I’m not sure why you would sign up with a record label Picture Quote #1

When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn’t understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have to fit into a mold. You make the mold. People can smell a rat. If you’re doing thing for marketing and for a record label, you’re going to set yourself up to be called a phony. As long as it’s true to you, you do it Picture Quote #1

I’m the only girl songwriter that fights for a lot of things. I fight for songwriting fees, which record labels want you to shut up about Picture Quote #1

If I was rich enough, I would love to launch my own record label. I would love to try and give all my musically talented friends a start in the industry Picture Quote #1

Friends of friends had bands in college or in their early 20s and had a moment where they had some kind of interest from a record label or manager. It’s always interesting how people handle those decisions and those moments Picture Quote #1

There is such a thing as good interference from your record label. I don’t think I get enough interference from my record label Picture Quote #1

I hate how I’ve had the mantle set on my shoulders as being against the record label. We’ve had some issues, but that is the nature of business Picture Quote #1

I’ve made sure that in any situation and with any record label, I’m allowed to write my own music Picture Quote #1

In a sense, the music business and I haven’t always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you’re hoping you’ll find someone who’ll help you get your work into the world Picture Quote #1

It’s not like I’m taking 20 grand from the shows. I mean there’s no record label, so this is a genuine thing. and I think most people can see that. I think that anyone who knows me, knows I do things with integrity Picture Quote #1

I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought i'd have a record label Picture Quote #1

So you have to just be really careful and make sure that when a deal comes along, that it’s like the right deal for you... Not necessarily the most money, because you have to pay the record label that back in like record sales and stuff Picture Quote #1
