What Labels Look For in an Artist | Warner Music President Explains

So what you're saying is essentially... they don't need record labels

ASCAP COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. I’m suing Warner music group. I’m willing to settle if they’re smart.

Dear Mr. Joe Kentish you represent all that's wrong in the music industry these days.

Record companies. Building the fame, killing the artist

Seeing someone in a position of power talk like this is really damming. He dances around it as much as he can but what he is really saying is that you need to have a huge following already.

What a mess.

TRANSLATION: Great songs, great albums, great talent actually mean nothing. We want people who already have huge social media following, spend hours every day on social media, create content which gets a bazilion likes every day, and have a curated image and personality that people want to look at on their screens. This isn't even the music business anymore, it's just banks giving super high interest loans to people who pose very little risk. This whole thing is just stupid.

Which explains how someone so talentless as Dua Lipa had a career - - Looks & PR/Social Media presence.
Oh btw , her record label is Warner 🤣

Thank you Rick for enlightening me to the reality of the music industry. It will not be long before knowing how to play an actual musical instrument is not necessary in creating music.

Labels are not interested in art, investing in and developing artists. All they want is to find the easiest way to make the most money. So for all of the nonsense he just said is just that. Nonsense.

how the fuck is this dude a president, he can barely speak! wtf , i know why the industry sucks!

You are pathetic. Basically want to use artists hard work and will sign if they are already successful. No more development of artists within labels. Go blow your nose Joe.

Awful... all about TikTok.

Rick Beato brought me to this video.

just bring good music back like good rock real music forget about the crap like rap. hip hop bubble gum brain crap / https://youtu.be/LR603KFkaOw?si=BwtJPlGq23OLEjhA

Thank you.

Can you make a video between the three major labels Sony vs Universal vs Warner? which one is better for beginners and which one for established artists? who pays and treats his artists better?

Basically be a pretty girl and you can get a deal 💀

Len Blavatnik destroys Warner Music

Crazy how i used to watch all these videos and try to implement it to
My music career, and now i’m signed with Warner Music! ✨

WMG is a sleazy company shaking down small youtubers over frivolous copyright claims. Most of the artist you at WMG promotes are garbage too. Toodles

labels never found me only radio stations .I gave up on labels I stick with my fans and radio plays.

Imperfections wow 🙏🙏🙏🏿🙏🏽🤝🏼🤝🏼🤳🏿

Not really, they want naked women and filthy talk, they tryna be innocent lol.

That’s nice. The industry is growing. 👍👍👍🔥🔥

Heard this buzzing around in music industry circles... "Be sexy, or be someone people want to be like." Notorious BIG for example. Fat, ugly, had a lazy eye. Put on sunglasses, dress him up like a mobster, promote him as a kingpin of the criminal underground. Sell rap records.

Dua Lipa... Sexy, looks better than Victoria's secret models... Yeah her voice... 😂

With Melodyne editor and autotune, we don't need ugly people who can sing anymore. Sex sells.

Compelling music need not apply.

Example? Meagan the stallion - Lick
Cardi B - WAP
Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift, etc. All sexy women, most doing sexy songs.

Guys are the same. Kodak Black ugly af but is portrayed as a criminal street thug, gangsta, living like mob bosses. Bruno Mars (who sings great), Andersen Paak, Da Baby, Lil Durk, Drake etc. Women like their looks. K Pop, boy bands, reggaeton artists etc. All have to be insanely good looking to women.

Being extremely sexy or being really cool are prerequisites to getting signed. The studio can always fix their sound.

great interview. I wouldn't have minded another 30 minutes with this !

If he said when she walked into the room I saw a very pretty young lady with great energy this would have felt more honest.

Here's a question. Why is there no mainstream super popular artists that are disabled?

Interesting however there is one big thing the Warner rep is leaving out here and that is SEXUALIZATION of look and content. Nearly every one of Dua Lipa's biggest songs are all about having sex "I want you all night come dance (Fuxx) with Me" or "If you don't wanna see me dancing (Fuxxing) with somebody" She dress very sexaul in almost prostitute outfits like how she dressed for 2021 Brit Awards. This is commen amung female artists signed to big label's and often plays more of a roll in succes then the tallent of the artist. If you havent got sex appeal your not going anywhere no matter how good a singer you are.

Warner have SEXUALIZED Dua Lipa and that's the main reason she's so successful but He's not going to give you that secret.

Supper talk

dua is an incredibly boring and generic musician. she's pretty and has connections, cool.

Imagine they sign you and put you on the shelf...not being able to release your music when you want...they take a substantial percentage of your streaming and earnings in general and ahh by the end of it...you don’t even own your music most of the time......they keep your masters...

What’s the best way to mix and master music if you don’t know how?

DIY. Warner Bros. Suck!

;)))

You wish you could sign artists like me

Its all politics. Lil pumps gucci gang blew up and its terrible all around.

she is gorgeous, that makes her a high slling product regardless of her music
