The services that a record label provides an artist are support, promotion, production, and distribution. Here at Treatwell, we say it's up to the artist to decide when these services are worth the price. The only way that artists can ever expect to end the music industry's commoditization of their value and receive fair treatment is to be creative enough to understand what it takes to support, promote, produce, and distribute their products. Artists must become more business savvy, and business must become more artistic.
We also believe that the methods employed by the music industry to promote artists could profit greatly be becoming more artistically sophisticated and less institutional, and on the whole far more efficient. As technology progresses, it becomes more important than ever for the music industry to embrace practices closer to the listening public than the industry's traditional networks. Treatwell seeks to define new, modern, efficient, explosive means of quickly and widely establishing an artist's name and gaining product recognition.
Finally, we believe that the way the music industry can gain the respect of its consumer base by acting respectfully and trustingly towards the consumer, more so than ever in an age when illegal music is prevalent and can threaten sales. Treatwell seeks to establish artist-fan rapport by treating our consumer base with the trust, dignity, and favor they deserve. We are the underground voice of reason, and we seek to innovate in an industry where there is welcome need for change by all.
