Freedom. Opportunities. Challenges.

What does it mean for an artist to build their path independently, and what does working with a label bring in return? What are the advantages, limitations, and expectations from each side? In an ever-changing industry, artists juggle creative autonomy, visibility, resources, and necessary compromises. We will explore how to navigate this choice, the role of new digital platforms, and what sustainable success truly means for an artist.
