Re: Does 1x Platinum album make you a millionaire?

Of course if you go the indie route, you are in the studio at 2 in the morning because that is the only time you can afford, you are living at your mom's, working part time jobs to keep your bills paid, trying to get a show once and while at the local club, and on the Internet to get your name out there. If you sign with a major, right from the start you probably get a half-million dollar house, a 60,000 car, a money advace, people to take care of all your promotion, good studio equipment, and get to fly around to parties and radio shows and stuff to get your name out.[/QUOTE]
but if you go the indie route you're also reaping all the benfits & profits. if you have any sense you build a home studio and are RUNNING the label yourself... it takes a lot more hustle and determination but the payoff is huge, and you don't have to deal with the headache of being in debt with a major record label.
