Are You An Unknown Music Producer ? The Music Industry Needs You !

By Jane Williams


Starting in early 2000's, the music industry, notably the communities of hiphop and rnb, noticed the appearance of what we call the "super music producers", accounting for leaders: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins or The Neptunes.

What exactly is a "super producer"? Okay, the ideal example of their difference with a "simple" producer will certainly take on the example of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, comparable to Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or even Naomi Campbell. You know these renowned fashion models as well as anybody else and you can see all of them on each of the catwalks. To be brief: safe values.

This was the very same thing in the music business: there have been "big" producers, risk free, that led many the projects and also were looked for by the most famous singers or rappers. That was always much safer for record labels to capitalize on a highly rated music producer than a novice. The reputable one presented a lot of excellent singles, in principle. Simply because at the time generally big names sold cd.

But, the music business, since the beginning of the decade changed. Firstly, most people don't really pay disc any more.

For that reason the record labels invest lot less money for a project. And incontestably, record labels will not be looking to buy between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for just one single beat, as was the situation throughout the time of the golden era of music producers. The discs tend to not sell and world wide web starts to develop. To surmount illegal downloading of their artists, record companies develop or align with with statutory download platforms and decide to push their visibility on this internet place, which has been getting out their control for so long.

But the rise up of the web has permitted the rise of an abundance of unknown producers as good as, if not better than, "Super Producers".

All of these producers have paying attention to the development of the Internet, which has facilitated these to sell their beats online. Helping them to communicate and work with rappers on a local scale as well as a global one. A producer from Australia will supply beats to an artist in Japan. It truly is now better for them to gain a good repute or have a career. For the artists, this makes a big difference! They are able to buy beats online in their house for their album, EP or perhaps mixtape for good prices; away from those practiced by the "super producers".

Record labels pay a particular awareness of this brand new business. They buy beats online as well. And recently we can easily see that a number of these internet producers receive hired by majors.

The golden time of super producers such as the age of super models disappears bit by bit, offering option to this new sector driven by producers who, quite often, have practically nothing to envy to the "super producers".
