Our managers hadn't had that kind of success - the record company hadn't, we hadn't - and the feeling was that the next record had to be even bigger, and if it wasn't it would be some kind of failure. ↗
Yes it was we, are a few years back parted from our record company and took the album that we were making with them and released it independently in the United States had a number one Independent debut in the United States. ↗
Most artists have contracts directly with the record company, and when they do music, all of their music is owned by the record company. But I did mine through a production company. ↗
People weren't buying as many records. My record company did not want me. I went through three record companies, went on tour at the wrong time. It destroyed me. ↗
Don't give up, be positive and if you know someone who knows someone at a record company don't stop beating down their door till you get heard. Don't ever say it'll never happen or it'll never happen. ↗
