Question by You Too: Independent music label and Major Distribution?
Is it possible to be completly independent and be successful on a major label without any of the major
labels help? In terms of marketing and distribution? Since cd cells are falling and the major labels making the 360 deals standard and the record industry devilish busniess and deals is it possible to be a indie label and have a successful run like motown in today’s society?

Yes, these days more than ever. Lots of bands and artists are having success without the help of a major label. Independent labels and independent artists now have the same global access that the major labels have (except for commercial radio). It is very possible for a group to establish themselves with the help of the internet, and do very well. Most major labels even expect you to build a fan base and create success yourself before they will sign you. A number of bands will turn down a major label offer and stick with an indie label.
