No, Labelcaster is not a record label. We are a label distribution platform set up to serve the unique business needs of managing a label. Therefore, we do not sign artists.
Let us explain…
Record labels are vital to artists' achievements. Artists already have their hands full developing their craft, writing and producing music, performing, and collaborating—more than a full-time job. Labels focus on making artists successful. They recruit and nurture talent, provide funding, create partnerships, assemble collaborators, secure proper music placement, handle promotions, market releases, and manage all business matters including licensing, accounting, payments, taxes, and more.
In today's increasingly complex music industry, labels help cut through the noise to give artists their best shot at success. Getting music onto streaming services isn't enough—success requires a skilled team that can reach audiences at scale. We believe that artists who go it alone by self-publishing reduce their chances of achieving success.
Labelcaster focuses on the business side of running a label. While most labels excel at finding, developing, and promoting talent, they often get bogged down by administrative tasks. We handle these essential "back-office" functions—distribution, administration, legal work, and reporting—enabling label managers to focus on growing their labels and supporting their artists.
We love music and we love artists. The best way we can help them is by creating a vibrant ecosystem of independent labels that support artists and their music. If you're an artist, we strongly recommend finding a good label to maximize your chances of success. We'll be here to support that label.
