3 Reasons You Need A Music Industry Consultant

By, Wendy Day

As the Founder of PowerMoves, LLC, one of the well known and most respected Indie Label Consultants in the music industry, I have the opportunity to meet a lot of artists and investors each day and introduce them to what we do and what makes us unique. PowerMoves offers two services: 1) to help people make money with their music so they can profit from their own career in music, or 2) to help people build a strong regional buzz to attract a record deal from a larger record label. This necessary regional buzz gives you the leverage to get the best deal possible that leads to longterm success.

We work with the best and brightest in the music industry, all of whom have strong track records of success and charge a fair price for the services they deliver. Here are 3 reasons why you need a legitimate consultant to navigate the treacherous waters of the music industry:

Experience: Been There, Done That

It looks easy until you try to navigate the music industry yourself. When you’re seeking to make money in the music industry or start your own record label, you need someone who can work across all specialties, someone you can trust to deliver the proper know how and engage the right team. For over two decades, I’ve had artists, investors, label heads, and industry workers come to us with a variety of needs. Whether you need help with marketing and promotions, public relations, securing radio, Internet presence, A&R, imaging, distribution, shopping and negotiating record deals, etc, we offer access to the top talent that can hit the ground running to build success for your label, artist, or career. We also know how to get the best results out of the entire team while we “Quarterback” the project from start to finish. We are skilled at whom to hire and when to hire them as timing plays a crucial role for success in the music industry.

Access to Top Talent: The Elusive and Rare Industry Insider

Everyone at PowerMoves has a marketing and promotions background, and proven experience in a multitude of disciplines in the music industry. The music industry is a rapidly-changing profession and we have our fingers on the pulse of the industry– who’s hot, what’s hot, what works, and what does not. We’ve been deciphering truth from hype for years, therefore our constant interaction with other successful projects, labels, and artists allow us access to the top professionals legitimately responsible for that success. We are skilled at putting together a team of brighter, better-suited successful professionals with elevated credentials for you and your project. We not only help you make money with your music and show you whom to trust (our connections are your connections), but we show you how to do it from A to Z, so you do not need to keep hiring us beyond your first project (unless you want to). We are unique because we are transparent, sincere, and trustworthy in an industry known for its deceptiveness and less than savory business practices.

Efficient Success: Fast Results Are Key

Music industry consultation is one of those disciplines where others may say they understand it, but they don’t live it: they have not done it regularly or successfully numerous times. We create the perfect plan within budget constraints and understand how to better impact the artist’s fans. We are able to experience success with music releases more rapidly because we understand how to utilize the experience and skills of everyone on the team effectively and efficiently. Ultimately, we save you time and money through an in-depth understanding of the industry, how to market and promote artists, and how to make money in today’s music industry. And most importantly, we’ve created success for our clients over and over.
