You don’t need to get signed to join the music business. This site is about distributing your own music. It tells you all about DIY record labels, self-publishing and how the music business works. It also tells you how to set up your own independent music site and how to sell your music online.
The Music biz and DIY resources are based on my research and experience in the UK. I’m a keen supporter of independent artist labels and DIY in the music business.
The Articles are random ponderings about the music industry in general. If you’re trying to get signed you might be interested in working for yourself instead and you should read How do I get signed?
| What isn’t Bemuso—you may find a bogus “Bemuso” online My business name Bemuso is sometimes copied by other people. If the content doesn’t look or sound like me it probably isn’t—I never post phonecam photos on Flickr or Stuff for example (this is my Bemuso page on Flickr). Please let me know if you see any other dodgy uses, I can normally get them deleted. Thanks. |
Bemuso is a resource for independent artists, DIY record labels and self-publishers. The Music biz and DIY will help you set up your own music web site and introduce you to the basics of the music business in the UK. The only aspects I don’t cover are material, performance and publicity. I suggest further reading.
Some of the resources would help with any web site, including other kinds of music sites, and the music business information may be useful whether you have a web site or not.
This site is completely independent. Bemuso attracts a lot of visitors but I always refuse advertising, sponsorship or reciprocal arrangements. Every recommendation here is a genuine personal suggestion as a result of my own experience and research, but please bear in mind I’m not recommending everything I happen to mention.
In December 2007 I added the Donate page with a good merchandise affiliate. I can recommend them but they don’t influence the site in any way. If this page works out I might add further affiliates but they will always be separate to the main content.
I won’t pass, give or sell any of your details (name, address, email address, etc.) to anyone, ever. I only send information about the site and CDs to my mailing list (so you won’t hear about my scheme for recycling hamster bedding as breakfast cereal).
You’re very welcome to quote verbatim or link to this site—linking is better because it picks up changes and the information is updated frequently. If you do quote anything please credit www.bemuso.com. You’re also welcome to review the site and articles. Please email if you have any questions.
There are over 1,000 external links on this site. A couple of links die each week, so I delete them. Unfortunately this means some information will be lost but far more new links crop up than expire. I also delete links that turn out to be pages cut and pasted from an original source.
