These Services are available to all Artists, most of them for free. You do not need to have an association with Indian Ledge Records to take advantage of these services. After a CD is made in the studio we take an artist through the following steps to help an artist get their music out there. Not only do we help them take care of these things, but we also explain what they are and why they are important to a successful release.
• CD Artwork - Merch Design - Photography - Video – we have artists on staff!
• Barcode – we show artists who need a barcode how to get one.
• ISRC Numbers – an important part of the process for digital distribution. We explain why they are important and how to get them.
• CD Replication – we replicate CD’s well under Discmakers and other manufacturer's prices.
• Digital Distribution – we help artists choose different ways available to them to get their music to the digital marketplace.
• Getting your CD for sale on Amazon and CDBaby – we show artists how to get their physical cd’s for sale on the internet.
• Pandora Radio – Pandora is a great music discovery service. We show artists how to get on, how to get paid and get played!
• Resources – we recommend specific books and other reading material to educate artists on topics such as publishing, marketing, and how to use the internet to your advantage to gather fans and get them to come to shows.
• Publicity – we recommend publicity firms for artists to check out depending on budget. It is important to know we are not affiliated with any PR firms or book sellers.

Rep Program:
If you are a Recording Studio, Producer, Engineer, or interested mover and shaker, you can start making an extra $300+ each month by just referring Artists to us. Here is how it works: for every person you send to us who orders 1000 CD's, you get paid $75.00. Four referals a month is $300.00. But not to worry if you need smaller CD/DVD runs we can do that too! We provide the other important information the Artist needs to know at no cost. Everyone benefits.

Stage Design: Planning a huge themed party, or something portable you can take on the road with you? We can help with that. Our team of installation artists and theatre production designers are here to make sure your show looks as good as it sounds.
Video: We can shoot video of your live performance or a setup in a private setting.
Recording: you have something simple you want to record like a radio spot or a more complex project you need done? We have some in house capabilities, a fairly mobile rig, and partner studios that are willing to work with you at reasonable rates. Tell us about your project and we would be happy to recommend a studio that is right for you.
Press Release and Artist Bio’s: We know how much of a pain in the bum it can be to be critical of your creative output, so our writing team interviews you and listens to your music and background story to help draft an exciting, objective biography for your band. We can then use this as a jumping off point to collaborate with you to create well rounded, factual, and interesting press releases to help promote your upcoming shows, album release, publishing opportunity, charity event, new merch, or whatever else you need to get the word out about.
CD Review: We have a group of musically minded, well spoken, and critical writers who will get your band those tough initial album reviews. Many currently write for a slew of music blogs and can help you get some placement in their online communities.
Show reviews: we will check out your live show and give you honest constructive criticism. Nobody likes to hear about things that they can improve, but seriously if you don’t want to get better you should just quit now.
Artist contracts and various forms: Our lawyer has helped us out a lot with everything from recording contracts, publishing contracts, model release forms, to video commissions, and even trademark issues. Never underestimate the power of protecting your own arse with a contract. These contracts are mainly boilerplate for your protection, but custom clauses or addendums can be added if needed.

Artist Services is your Roadmap.
ILR Artist Services Roadmap is an offering of tools and benefits to enhance an artist’s brand. Today’s musical environments require engagement with a broad mix of new technology and concepts, as well as an understanding of older systems. We’ve consolidated some useful free information and are able to incorporate our established personal relationships with creative professionals to suggest collaborations that can amplify the impact of an artist’s project. Why struggle to create something when you can outsource to a professional leaving you more time to make your music?! By embracing technology, collaborating, and experimenting with new media we excite musicians to take advantage of goods and services that used to only be available to big label acts. We help bring opportunities to musicians without being directly tied to the label.
Here we stand to offer you some helpful sites to visit, and other services to help you get that professional edge that can set you apart from the rest of the pack. For all you DIY folks (we get it we’re artists and musicians too) we let you be as involved as you wanna be. We also understand the importance of a professional package that coordinates your brand from album graphics, photography, press packs, websites, myspace pages, to music videos and merch. Everything you create reinforces your brand and we are here to help you coordinate your projects while leaving you with complete creative control and freedom!
From our Roadmap you can get professional results without breaking the bank. Our team of collaborators has flexible pricing for work… Contact us and we will try to work within your budget. We hate to see money be the limiting factor to you creating or not creating your art so we will do our best to meet and exceed your expectations.
