Are You An Unknown Music Producer ? The Music Industry Is Seeking For You !

By Isabela Costa


In early 2000's, the music business, in particular the communities of hiphop and also rnb, saw the coming up of what we call the "super music producers", accounting for frontrunners: Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and also The Neptunes.

What exactly a "super producer"? Well, the proper answer of their difference with a "simple" producer would most likely take the demonstration of what we call a "supermodel" in fashion, like Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer or even Naomi Campbell. You know these widely known super-models as well as everyone else and you can see all of them on all the catwalks. Briefly: safe values.

This has been the same in the music sector: there have been "big" producers, safe values, that driven all the projects and were invited by the best known singers and also rappers. This is usually more secure for record company to capitalize on a renowned music producer compared to a novice. The recognized producer supplied a so many of successful singles, in theory. Considering that at this time in most cases big producers sold discs.

However, the music industry, since the start of the decade totally changed. First, many people don't actually shop for disk any more.

For this reason the record companies give little budget for a project. And undeniably, record labels are no longer willing to spend between $ 100 000 to $ 300 000 for one single beat, as was the situation during the golden era of music producers. The cd tend to not sell and online world grows. To deal with illegal downloading of their artists, record companies develop or merge with statutory download platforms and just try to push their presence on this online scene, that has been escaping their control for way too long.

But the increasing use of the internet has additionally made possible the rise of a lot of not known producers as good as, if not greater than, "Super Producers".

All these producers have focused on the progressing of the Web, which has facilitated them to sell their beats online. Which allows them to reach and work with performers on any nearby scale as well as an international one. A producer from Switzerland will be able to advertise beats to an artist in Japan. It is now more easy for them to get a very good credibility and have a career. For the artists, this makes a great difference! They are able to buy beats online in their own home for their album, EP or mixtape for good prices; away from those practiced by the "super producers".

Record companies pay a particular awareness of this brand new business. They buy beats online too. And these days we can notice that some of these web producers receive signed by majors.

The golden epoch of super producers such as the age of super mannequin goes away slowly and gradually, giving way to this modern market directed by producers who, usually, do not have anything to envy to the "super producers".
