Artist Development
A Conduit for major and independent labels & Artists Artist Development is the process an artist goes through to develop their craft to successfully build a career in the entertainment industry. This may include developing and perfecting their talent, image and branding, public relations, digital marketing, content production, and live performance. The days when record labels and movie studios developed talent from infancy to stardom are long gone. In fact, to encourage an executive to give an undeveloped an artist a look is unheard of. Digital distribution has changed the relationship between consumers and the music they choose and they no longer wait of A&R executive to tell them what they like. In addition, declining record sales and the vast selection of music on digital services has allowed consumers to bypass the traditional role of A&R and many are not taking the risks. This leaves the early stages of artist development to the artists themselves, and The Image Cartel fills that void.
