If you even made it this far, chances are you’re a friend, a colleague, and/or a music lover. So hopefully you won’t mind me saying…
I could really use your help!
I’m launching a micro-indie record label. Originally it was just going to be for releasing my own work, but already some friends are signed on to do this with me. (Awesome!)
Badself Media will have a few different sub-labels or imprints, the first of which is Badself Records. Badself Records will focus on great new pop and rock, and has already released a few tunes by a rock band I love called Red Light Go. But soon enough there will be an imprint for game, film, and TV soundtracks, and one for modern classical music.
I’ll post again later to talk a little bit about why I’m doing this. Please reach out if you want to chat about the purpose and the philosophy of it. But for now I’ll get right to the ask. Here are the best ways you can help me, help some independent artists, and help the idea of independent music in general. The list starts with the most effective and impactful things, so if you can only do one thing, (already wonderful and a huge help!)—please just pick from the top of the list.
