Disc Maker's Elite Artist Services:
Supporting a New Indie Era
By: Mut Asheru
It was just a matter of time before CD/DVD manufacturing company Disc Maker’s ventured into the record label arena. With the love of independent creativity at their foundation, they believe they have now found a way to make the transition from label deals into the indie market a smooth process for established artists that were signed to and distributed by major and indie labels alike.
Enter their Elite Artist Services division, a program that’s meant to be a turnkey process that will allow artists to keep a larger chunk of their own monies.
“Our goal is to give artists a greater opportunity for profit margins. To my knowledge there’s not a company in the world offering these services in this fashion,” says Jeff Epstein, Vice President of Sales & Marketing.
Epstein, a former musician, tells the story of their Elite Artist Services program with palpable excitement. It’s evident that the folks at Disc Maker’s believe in this service and are happy to have come up with another way for the newly independent to take charge of their career and profits.
One of the most refreshing components of the program is their “them vs. label” calculator that allows artists and managers to plug in the numbers and see the bottom line revenue potential of going independent versus staying on a label.
For those artists with a demonstrated record in regards to record sales this is something worth looking into. Disc Maker’s Elite Artist Services will offer today’s major artist a complete team and infrastructure to make going independent a turnkey process. The company offers a comprehensive suite of services that used to be offered by the record label, including graphic design, mastering, disc manufacturing and packaging, download sales through the artist’s web site and major sites like iTunes, Rhapsody and Amazon.com, CD distribution through Sony RED, custom merch production, product warehousing, ecommerce processing, web site development, digital and print marketing, and more.
Another plus. There are no long-term contracts, and the artist retains complete control over their music and their rights. This service is open to both national and international talent alike.
