    I hope you feel less and less uncomfortable the more you do these. It’s great to hear an artist give insight in to the steps on their journey. I look forward to more… oh and CONGRATULATIONS!

    I never heard of you before but this video popped up in my feed for some reason. Listened to a couple of your songs and you're actually very talented so I've subbed! Selling out is nothing to do with signing a deal, selling out is sacrificing your integrity and your artistic vision in order to cater for what you think will make you a lot of money. Just be proud that your hard work has got you a deal and stop worrying about problems that aren't even there.
    Enjoy it, it's a great opportunity.

    As long as you stick to your values and principles, live according to them and keep making music about what is important to you, you are definitely not selling out! As you've said, if you wanna make it in the music industry you need the funding and infrastructure that comes with record labels, there is just no way around it. Thank you for making this video and just being transparent with such topics :) And it was definitely not awkward or boring!!

    Congratulations on getting a deal. 10000% do not feel guilty (nothing at all to feel guilty about). Do what feels right for you to make the best music you can and ignore the noise...
    24 hours is one of my favourite songs of this year.
    You have a fabulous singing voice - very emotive covering lots of different moods. I hope your new music let's your singing voice fly free to all the place's it can reach.

    I'm glad you have chosen to make music your priority. Your music is clever, well-crafted and catchy as hell. I am 61 years old and have never stopped looking for new music to enjoy. You are a stand-out among the younger artists I follow. Best of luck and I hope to hear more great songs from you in the future.

    Seriously! You are so amazing! You are definitely not selling out at all. You have support from a label who has your back… that’s so important and it also seems like it’s incredibly rare! You are sharing really important key points to others who would love to ultimately make it in the world. You’re doing it! And you’re inspiring others as well! I wouldn’t be surprised if you got involved with some type of music charity / community, which may also help open doors for you as well! Definitely my pleasure to help if I can! I’m writing from my music wellness business account even though I have a signed music project - and I am a label manager for an international label… Very small! Keep up the great work and continued to inspire others simply by you being true to yourself and following your heart. You’re on fire! Keep it up!

    I'm very proud of you and it's so good to see you grow ! I hope I can see you perform in France one day. I studied a lot about the music industry so as long as you don't sign a 360 contract or something like that which can be very shitty... just surround yourself with trustworthy people and always be careful, especially with the british music industry which is the most toxic one from what I learned and the people working in it I talked to. I truly hope you'll get the success you deserve because you're so talented and we need more artists like you ! Sending so much love from France 💜

    Well done Chloe! Glad to post this before you blow up! You do not need to feel guilty. I had success as a novelist when I was probably around your age and felt like you, but now regret feeling that way. You do not need to donate all your spare money to charity - always remember that it's the system that needs to change, not you, and charity donations don't change the system. Use your time and money on your music and art, and all the thinking time that needs as well, and you will do more for social good than any donation to charity. And you'll be happier as long you can believe there is no need to feel guilty. You also need time and money to keep your mental health well as a touring musician. Invest your money and time in yourself and the world will be a better place than if you close down aspects of your freedom because of a charity donation that won't bring about the kind of change you probably want to see. Well, this congratulations post went a bit deeper than I was expecting. Keep making your art, you're really excellent at it 😊

    First of all, congrats on the deal!🥹
    I think being independent is cool only on paper, but it ends up running, struggling and making ends meet all the time. There is nothing “sell out” in the deal, it’s just a way how the industry works, and I’m thrilled to know that there will be new music for sure. Looking forward to hear it❤ good luck, Chloe!

    CONGRATULATIONS!! i'm so happy you've managed to secure a deal that still gives you control over your image and your music :D
    i don't live in manchester so i can't recommend specific places, but i've volunteered at my local charity shop for a year and a half now and it's super flexible! i'm p sure generally charity shops don't get many volunteers (at least in both the cities i live in they're always asking) so you're helping these shops to stay open as well as helping the charity :) (plus you might get discounted or free clothes through it)

    They look like a great label especially the short term contracts where you can level up over time to a full deal at the end whilst still owning you masters and excellent revenue splits along the way, great decision and now you have the time to work on music you will see a lot more success

    Well done for your honesty. My daughter is also producing her own music and it is really hard and expensive. Don’t be ashamed of signing to a label. The money has to come from somewhere and record sales are no longer a thing. Proud of young people like you who are making new music and trying to help others to do the same. I’d take an honest ramble video over a slick fake one any day.

  • @radicalbyte

    Congratulations! I get the guilt, I had that when I was your age (I was paid to code, and given that I love coding..). Music is work and you need to work your ass off to make anything in that industry.. and you need to get lucky. Talent alone (and you have that) only gets you so far. Hopefully you'll make it and come tour in The Netherlands (which isn't crazy, we have a good indy scene and you've been getting a play on Penguin Radio, it's how I found you). I'll come watch you with my kids 🙂

I dont really think the problem is the “selling out” question, I really think tho that the way you feel comes from the sick ass society that cant live without arts (creative jobs) and keeps saying that they are not real jobs. It’s absolutely great that you made it this far, thank you for trying to change the mentality of music just being a fucking monopoly of rich and untalented kiss ass people, ur for real a huge inspiration! Please enjoy this amazing phase of your life, without guilt but with lots of pride of what you accomplished in a very honest way 🩷

    Such a cool video! I would love to see more of these as no matter how much research I do I have no clue on how the music industry works, how to get a deal, what are the right steps... it's exactly what you said, you're either from a rich background or you get signed, or maybe you already know someone in the industry. I am very sad and discouraged sometimes when I think of how little access I have to the music industry, who do I even know that is remotely related? no one. What labels care about my music if I'm not on TikTok? who even cares to listen to the demos if I were to send them?
    I wanted to ask you, on Spotify 'you can't put a price on fun' is your only ep. Did you release this independently but with funding from a label or was there another one before? (didn't understand it in the video properly)
    then, how do you get funding from a label without being signed? does a manager play a big role in that? and how do you even find a manager? it's all so crazy hahahaha. In your case, was it through playing live? since you don't have a lot of songs out.
    I have a lot of songs ready to go but don't want to waste them releasing them with any support whatsoever. What would you recommend?
    Sorry for this crazy long comment, love your music, I think your lyrics are awesome, keep at it!!

I write music, and really want to produce it, but I would love support from a producer aha! anyway, congrats 🪩

    thanks for making this despite feeling uncomfortable. it is actually really useful to get an insight into these decisions and your video is not boring to me - especially given it's not something many artists talk about honestly. I guess I have a question. speaking/posting regularly on social media is also anxiety inducing for me but it feels that this is almost required of music artists now in order to sustain a career - is this something we just have to suck up in your opinion? do labels offer any help in this regard other than money - like training/coaching etc or is it kind of left for the artist to figure out? any insight would be appreciative but I also realize this is quite personal so no worries if you'd rather not cover it. Love your music and congrats!
