Pitch - Industry - Montel Powell

I believe our artist Blake Whitemen would probably be signed to an independent small label, like Bella Union which Lanterns on the lake is signed to, they're a small label and take on lots of Indie rock bands, with other genres like folk, space rock and dream pop, which are all rather underground genres of music. The song would be available online through our artists website and Itunes as artists signed with Bella Union are on Itunes. But our artists music probably wouldn't be available in stores as he's still small, independant and not well known.

An independent label will give our artist the chance to be creative in his work, rather than doing whatever's going to bring in the most money and having a bunch of people on his back telling him what to do. looking at the other groups and genres they belong to signed Bella union we see that they have a lot of hybrid different genres, showing that they're a label which don't mind allowing their artists to do what they feel and try something different.

Our artists music would be accessible online than in store as they're a small time artist and it's easier for them to put their music up online to their own websites. Looking at bands like Lantern on the lake I noticed that they also sell their music on vintage vinyl's on their website which I believe appeals to fans of the indie genre as they like to be different and vintage, However this does seem like it could cost a lot, I read £1500 for 500 vinyl's so for a new artists this probably wouldn't be an option.
