What we do
Besides representation, Elton Audio specializes in a variety of services to help your next release perform well. For example, there are plenty of musicians out there that will finish recording a song, and decide to put it out on streaming platforms the following day, to then realize that they factored in no time to promote the single. In other cases, musicians may spend a hefty amount of money on music and video production, to then have zero budget to promote the song. These issues are more common than you may think, and if this has happened to you, consider sticking around for a little.
Releasing a song or album is exciting, but have you ever looked at it as a product release? The process of creating a song usually starts with writing music or lyrics, then recording, mixing, and finally mastering. Each step plays a crucial part in the finalization of your project, and you shouldn’t cut corners. But now it’s time to release it, and maybe you did not plan on having a marketing budget…what do you do?
The answer varies from artist to artist, but generally you should think of it like a blank canvas. The song needs an image to give it a visual be it a cover, music video, or other forms of visual aid. You may also want to release merchandise alongside the single, so you need a designer, and a company to manufacture the clothing. Finally, maybe you need a marketing strategy to help promote the release, and you need some ideas and a marketing team to put that together. Everything mentioned here is what we do. The only difference is with us, we’re not trying to break the bank, but rather help you put out successful releases time and time again. We look forward to working with you on any project, in any genre, in any market.
MANAGEMENT VS. DEVELOPMENT
ARTIST MANAGEMENT
“A talent manager (also known as an artist manager, band manager or music manager) is an individual or company who guides the professional career of artists in the entertainment industry.”
— WIKIPEDIA.COM
ARTIST DEVELOPMENT
“The concept of Artist Development began half a century ago with departments of record labels dedicated to cultivating an artist or group’s talent, and profiting from the results through a contract that has come to be known as the “360 Deal.” Modern artist development, however, is different. What used to be done by entire departments, has become the responsibility of the artist.”
