Work with Dark Label

It’s never been easier to be a music producer.

But being a music producer with a long-term career that enables you to earn a stable income doing what you’re best at?

That’s harder to do now than ever.

For serious music makers, this is not a hobby. They are paid for their work, they are methodical about their career, and they are committed to the craft.

At the same time, many are finding it difficult to navigate their career and business in an industry that is rapidly evolving and becoming more saturated.

This is why we launched Dark Label in 2018.

To provide expert advising and ongoing support to working music producers who needed a service that fits them (not the hobbyist education market).

We offer support that is much more customized and hands on yet at a fraction of the cost of these wildly overpriced, one-size fits all programs.

And this is why our clientele includes not just working class producers, but also some of the biggest producers in the world.

✺ A music career should offer you: ✺

  • Having the ability to generate income for yourself on demand, and then understand how to properly use that money to secure your future.

  • Earning enough demand in the market to be able to choose what you work on and who you work on it with.

  • Mastering the art of leverage so that you can buy back your time and create/work because you want to, not because you have to.
