probably about nothing.

labels don't issue pay checks. As an artist, the only way you'd be getting any regular pay is from doing shows on a regular basis.


The benefit to small labels is a way bigger piece of the "pie" on your CD and/or more creative control.


Pay scale:

Major Label: about 12-15¢ on every CD sold.
Small Label: about 35-50¢ on every CD sold.
Independant Label: about $3 to $7 on every CD sold.

on average.

make no mistake. nothing, and I mean NOTHING in the industry is "standard". There's no "standard" contract, no "standart" pay, anything.


yay.
