Not wanting to commit to a traditional recording contract can make you feel like you don’t have any options to showcase your music and talents the way you want.

Even worse, it can make you question if you even have what it takes to be a full time musician or band without a traditional or independent record label.

Don’t risk giving up ownership and creative control of your music.

Most musicians and bands today operate in the “Broke & Famous” mindset, giving up control and revenue to the traditional and independent record labels in order to succeed and grow fast.  But like us, we think you’d much rather enjoy the “Stable & Well Known” mindset, keeping ownership of your music and control of your career, all while growing slowly, organically and independently.

Most independent musical artists still see the traditional recording contract as the path to a successful career in music.

Unfortunately, getting signed by a traditional record label means the risk of forfeiting ownership of their music, a potential pile of never-ending debt, and losing creative control over their art.

This leaves them questioning if they really have what it takes to pursue life as a full time musician or band without a traditional record label.

You DO Have What It Takes With Our Independent Record Label as a Service

But no one should think they need a traditional recording contract to feel like they’ve made it in the music industry!

In fact, these days the only real value of being on a record label is that it can act as a sort of badge of “being official” when it comes to attempting to contact larger venues or working with larger acts.  Sometimes just saying you are on a label can open doors. Beyond that, the value isn’t what it used to be (if it ever was).

Becoming signed to Root Cause Records and being “independently signed” can help you:

• Release your music on a record label without the overhead
• Get help with distribution and marketing
• Receive career mentoring and business coaching not found at other labels
• Release music that’s true to you as an artist without having to worry about repaying label debt
• Escape the “broke and famous” mindset and adapt the “stable and well known” mindset
• Feel like you’ve “made it” as an independent artist and small business owner
• Enjoy simple label representation without the weight of debt, loss of revenue, or forfeiting ownership
