Atlanta
Music Scene
The Atlanta music scene is robust to say
the least. You can find music of every kind of genre in this
city. There are lots of clubs that support all type of live
music everyday of the week in the city. There are also plenty
of indie groups with large fan followings. Atlanta is home to
a lot of major recording artists also. Some of the best
recording studios can be found in the city. There are also
recording schools like the art institute and the Atlanta
Institute of music. Atlanta is a busy music city. Every week
there is a major concert attraction in the city.
Every year a lot people up and relocate
to Atlanta to start or improve their chances in the music
business. The scene is hot but it was probably hotter in the
90’s when you had record companies like So So Def and Laface
records headquartered in the city. You still have a hot hip
hop scene in Atlanta but those record companies are only
shadow of themselves now days. The indie market is still big
and no doubt if you visit or are in the city someone will
probably try to sell or give you a copy of their CD. Artists
are still trying to push their product on the streets.
CD Duplication is the best way for an
indie artist to reach his or her audience. If you have a show
scheduled and you need to get your music in the hands of your
fans then the best way is to press up or duplicate your CD.
Concerts are always coming to Atlanta
from old school to new school. If you are an artist you may
need to get your hustle on and find out who the booking agent
for these concerts are and see if you can become an opening
artist for the show.
We’ve done CD Duplication for Janelle
Monae who is signed to Atlantic Records now. We duplicated her
CD before she was signed to a major record deal. We also a
couple of years ago Duplicated “Cashout’s CD, who is hot
rapper signed to Epic records, LA Reid who ran Laface records
in Atlanta in the 90’s. Without CD Duplication I doubt these
two artists would have gotten where there at now. The key to
making it the music business nowadays is building up strong
following and fan base. You might use CD Duplication or you
might use social media like Facebook or youtube. You might use
a combination of all three to spread your music to the
masses. Either way your window is short in the music
business, it’s a youth oriented business so time is precious,
so get started now and don’t waste time.
