Which other similar artists are also signed to this label?
Dizzee Rascal
Skepta
Would your song be available for internet download only? if so, why?
Yes, because S.Dot is an upcoming, young and urban artist. He can reach his target audience by promoting himself and his music via different social media platforms such as Twitter, Soundcloud and Facebook. In addition, artists of the same genre also take on this approach. An example of this is Stormzy whereby his single 'Wicked Skengman' is on iTunes for his fans to download. Furthermore, internet download can be easier - as the majority of his target audience constantly use multimedia devices and are up to date on the latest technologies. Internet download is also more affordable for the audience to access as there are often discount deals and options to use gift cards.
Will you be signed to a major or independent label?
Mainstream label because the artists that are similar to S.Dot are signed to mainstream labels, this is because the artists have large amounts of funding. The extra money made by mainstream record companies means that the major labels will be able to fund high-quality production, packaging, global physical distribution as well as digital distribution through the major online outlets, world tours, and music video shoots. This may appeal more to the audiences because the branding and content of the artist is more visually pleasing and professional. In addition, major record labels have a lot of industry links therefore the artists have access to multiple media outlets that can promote their music and their image. Furthermore, mainstream record labels have a more established reputation therefore they may be taken more seriously than independent record labels.
