The content of this is a strange to read so my initial take is it seems like you know nothing about the music industry or record labels but i'll argue in good faith. A simple google answers your per stream questions: https://www.igroovemusic.com/blog/how-much-do-i-get-per-stre... The sad answer is almost no one is making real money off streaming except the .001% Record labels aren't quite what they used to be now that we have distrokid, tunecore, soundcloud, etc as independent artists can get their music on streaming services themselves. You say you want to be a label, what are you bringing to the table? Do you have any connections in the music industry? These days the only way to make money off a song streaming is if it gets picked up by the big playlists, but guess what? Those are mostly curated by the big labels and you have to have connections to get on them. You can try and get your music on smaller curated lists by blasting out to popular blogs and reading lists as well. Use social media, hope you get lucky on tiktok. Google how to get your music viral as a social media influencer. The real answer here is there is no actual formula but by putting yourself out there on a ton of platforms and hopefully something sticks and it goes viral. At the end of the day is the music has to actually be good (read: something sticky even if its pop drivel) for people to spread it. As a musician and independent producer, this post irks me a little bit as you're basically signaling you want to simply make money from music rather than doing it for the love of the art. If that's not the case I wish you the best. |

To above: you knocked it out of the park with “what do you bring to the table?”. This is what labels do. This is what labels are for. Calling out the questionable motives - only the bold and determined survive the music business. If you aren’t in it for the passion, you will fail.
