What do record labels look for in new artists
Talent - It is important to be individual when you want to be a new artist. Record companies want someone who is individual and unique. People want to see someone who is unique and interesting and this should make them sell albums and sell out arenas.
Product - The better products an artist has the better the music that they will produce. If you look at DJ's, for example Disclosure, they have all of the latest technology. This allows them to make top quality music and produce something that is going to sell well.
Placement - There are many different ways in which people consume music. Some people buy their music from sites like iTunes and some people pay for a subscription service such as Spotify or stream on YouTube.
Promotion - There are millions of ways in which artists can promote their music. The way that is becoming the easiest and most popular is through social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. This is easy because firstly it is free and secondly because most people around the world have some sort of social media account.
Transition - The transition stage is when a semi popular artist becomes a massive hit. This is normally achieved with one great song which reaches number one. For example Megan Trainor with All About That Bass.
