#Find a label. Before the advent of the digital download goldrush, musicians were forced to take the only route to success, getting hitched to a major record label. For young musicians, this seemed like a dream come true. The music business was indeed a mighty empire, a slick machine that was oiled by profits and balance sheets...not the love of music itself.
