Oi Fellas

Can we have a music advice thread?

I've got a relatively successful online covers project (over 20K subs, solid amount of views) that is growing, and have been working on original material forever that has been received decently well.

Myself and the person I'm working with work full-time, so jumping into touring and spending all week on music doesn't seem like a smart idea at this point in time. We just submitted demos to a bunch of labels, but we're not sure if that method will lead to getting responses/feedback (something we're eager to get so that we have an idea of how to proceed).

Is it a smart idea to look for a manager or reach out to labels? Etc. Some advice would be helpful. We're aware that most labels don't take unsolicited demos, but making 'music connections' and 'talking to the right people' just seems like that vague sort of advice that isn't really possible to tangibly pull off.

Feel free to ask other questions as well, don't want this limited to myself.

What do you want a label to do for you?

Thanks for sharing the link! Will give it a watch in a bit.

Interested in a label for the management/connections that (ideally) come out of the better/larger labels. It's a bit sacrilege, but after the years of do-it-yourself that me and my partner have been dealing with for virtually everything (marketing, website, mixing, direction, etc.), having someone direct and fund that would be nice, and would probably be the step necessary to commit to music full-time.

I know that in some ways we are in a golden age where musicians can do everything by themselves, but labels have been able to make a jump to this generation too, and most successful acts still seem to be siphoned through them. Committing a couple of years to a label before stepping out to do our own thing would be cool. Speaking in incredibly idealistic terms, of course.
