I’m an artist who created my own record label ☺️ Probably the admin work is too much for most artists.

What all goes into that?
When I started, I had to engineer, produce, compose, write, and perform my own album. The album got an Angel investment to build a bedroom studio/home studio.
Publishing has to be established. It’s still all pulling together.
I’m at the stage where I have a really strong team.
Here in New York as well, a list of nightclubs who want performances - which is the real profit maker, along with NFTs, paid hourly rates on producing others.
Would tools for collabing with artists via nostr be useful to you? What causes the most friction in the publishing process?
I’ve been drawing up a plan to bring everyone here. My co-produce bought my flight ticket for Nostrica.
It’s great because everything we do is too-secret. We can trust the communication on it, & it’s fast for tiny-talk.
The most friction in the publishing process is when your workload is so heavy, it’s like the last thing you want to think about - & your dates have to be aligned properly, split sheets written, the work needs to be reviewed for errors (engineering errors), it has to be perfect before it’s our & also be on time - probably the greatest conflict; it can get tedious making sure the sample on TikTok is the perfect section of a song, to aligning all the visuals on multi-channel marketing. It needs a team, but one person can do it - we all have to wear many hats, probably the most exhausting part of the musical artistic process.

Absolutely yes, especially when we start building visual content. The interaction on Nostr is beautiful 🥹
