This is the closet thing I’ve had to a “business plan” for my music career and record label, a one hour panel presentation on how I’ve built a sustainable living making music on the Internet!
I’m Dj Cutman, indie music producer and owner of game music record label GameChops. I started producing music as Cutman in 2010, and starting corralling my friends into a record label in 2012.
Over the years I’ve found some things that work, some things that don’t, and a lot of ideas for musicians to take advantage of the awesomeness that is the Internet!
If you’re completely new to online music, some of these terms may seem daunting. Feel free to ask questions in the comments. The two music distributors I mention can be visited here:
