Does being a CEO of an Indie label suck?

My initial reaction to the question "Does being a CEO of an Indie label suck" is hell no! Being a CEO of an indie label is the best thing right now. Look at Jay Z, who reportedly paid $5,000,000 to buy his final album back from the label. He even admits to "overpaying" for the album but this dedication to the art of music is the reason he dominates today's music. Jay Z's Roc Nation is a partnership with Live Nation the mega concert promoters who a couple years ago before the full on decline of cd sales started courting and signing big name acts like U2, Madonna, and Jay Z. Giving them free reign over their music catalogs while sharing in the overall revenue generated in what the music industry now calls "360 deals."

Being a CEO in today's music landscape is like being a "gold miner" each artist is like an undiscovered vein. The more work you can put into an artist, the more resources you can earmark to that dig, still means nothing hahahaha.

Talent in an indie framework means exactly that look for old videos of lady gaga on the MTV show boiling point. She looks nothing like the Lady Gaga we now know. Find the talent teach them to market themselves using the latest tools but bottom line give them the freedom to creat. As an indie label CEO I just guide them to the end product with suggestions and conversations about being true to the form. In the end I get a product that speaks the truth from the heart and the market gets a great album.

So once again being a CEO of an indie label DOES NOT SUCK!
