The Future of Independent Labels: Manic Kat Records & Artist Relationships

The music industry is constantly evolving, and the past 5 years have seen some of the most drastic change in how bands market themselves, deliver their music, and are more likely to go independent. So how are record labels adapting to the times?

We have seen a trend of more bands going towards smaller labels to fill their needs. And what we discovered was that a people-first and relationship-first mindest is what driving bands to more independent record labels, not a “money-first” mindset.
