About
Before you start reaching out to labels, you have to get clear on what you want from a prospective deal. You also have to understand what partnering with a label can do for you - and what it can't. That way, when you're offered an opportunity you'll be able to advance towards your dream from a truly informed place. If you're offered a deal and what you want isn't included - you'll now know how to ask for it, or you'll have the confidence to walk away.
