Artist Development
Ever had a bad experience with a so-called "producer" or agent who promised to make you a big star and requested for an advance to help them with "marketing expenses" only to never be heard from again. A career in music can be very rewarding, but there are a lot of risks as well, including having to deal with people simply trying to make money off of your dreams and aspirations.
We can assist you in developing a detailed "roadmap" by helping you to identify your music career goals and the specific steps you can take to reach these goals. We'll also point out what resources are available, as well as what pitfalls to watch out for. As a member of our C&LE label family, you will always have a community of fellow artists, staff and experienced mentors who are more than happy to provide advice and guidance to help you attain your goals.
Music Publishing
Having your music published provides you an opportunity to pitch your music to other artists to record, but you want to make sure that the process is handled correctly and your rights are protected. We can help you to understand what your options are, as well as assist you in getting your music published quickly and correctly.
