Global Records
Global Records Is An Independent Record Label
Today,
big music can seem like the only game in town and many newcomers think
the only way into the industry is “getting signed”, getting a
“recording contract” or “record deal”. Musicians working locally
cheerfully call themselves unsigned, unpublished, semi-pro, amateur,
etc. rather than what they are. But these DIY and indie acts are the
music industry bread and butter and worth every bit as much as the
majors. Maybe more so. Although mainstream TV and radio is dominated by
major label acts, a 2004 survey found over 4,500 live music events in
the UK every day (1.7 million a year, MORI poll). Compare that with TV.
The mass and diversity of local acts puts the handful of bland national
icons in perspective. There’s a lot more happening outside the media
bubble. But the influence of big business gets attention, and it’s easy
to forget that what’s happening in music isn't what's happening on MTV,
Radio One or in the charts.
