I'm a small artist but do sign my work. I've been enjoying Lemmy for some time now and want to push this community to interact more and grow! So I thought one way I could contribute is to do a little AMA about what it's like as a signed artist making house music :)

Thanks! I was actually more interested in what the label does for you. I'm guessing they take care of distribution (sorry, I don't really know any details about the industry, especially how it operates these days)? Do they do anything else? Marketing, touring?

Sadly the scene for this subgenre isn't exactly big enough for touring and shows (yet, fingers crossed!). But yes, I finish my mix and send it in for them to handle mastering, artwork, distribution, and marketing within their own channels. They will provide the marketing packet with artwork, etc. a week or two before release so I can share on my own artist pages as well :)
