Wingnut Music.
A New Way. |
| Wingnut Music is based on a simple idea: No more boxes. |
| Many established artists and industry professionals are questioning the quickly changing music business landscape, and the old ways of working with labels, agents, promoters, and management as separate entities no longer apply. |
| New and unsigned bands tend to live in relative isolation, trying to make their own way in the music business, competing against major-label advertising budgets for fans and publicity without the resources to achieve their potential. |
| But what about the bigger picture? What if these artists worked together? What if they shared equipment, experience, promotion, expenses, personnel, and most importantly ideas? |
| Amongst the years of collective experience in the music business Wingnut Music brings, founder Erik Nielsen's 11-year tenure as business manager with internet pioneers Marillion has revolutionised the way the music business uses the internet to market and sell established music - and more importantly, allows the artist to retain ownership of their own music, publishing, rights, and thrive without the "middle men". |
| We believe these same methods can be used regardless of the status or length of career of any artist. |
| We are artists. We are managers. We are a label. We are publishers. We are promoters. |
| These are no longer exclusive concepts. By bringing creative talent together we can be all these things, and do business the way it should be done: working with rather than against each other. |
| We are not '360 Degree' - we are focused and independent. We are not 'Direct To Consumer' - music by nature is about the artist and the fans. We have to stop seeing elements of the industry as separate, stop putting ideas into administrative boxes, remove the barriers between the music and the fan, and adopt a singular and holistic view of "band as business". |
