This is their worst fear. We are in the age now, because of technology, where more artists can start producing and sending out their own music to a much wider audience. While there are already artists who have realized and done this, I truly believe you're one of the first to really push further through the barriers and may break that wall finally.
There have been quite a few highly successful independent artists who have never signed to a label. And many many more reasonably successful independent artists who have never signed to a label.

Now. When he was huge he was on several different record labels _including_ *Atlantic* - definitely a Major Record Label. NOW that his career is in its twilight and he is no longer hitting the top of the charts he makes this claim - and its true now. Tom has NEVER been on a label. He has ALWAYS been independent from the start.
Legit, once people can post their own music, they don't need the few fancy studios out there, and they can make everything and do everything on their own without these big corporations, everything changes for the individual.
People can post their music on RUclips what are you talking about? It takes lots of connections and money to make someone famous and no single person will be allowed to go around it. Even if millions of people could potentially like your song its not gonna do anything because youtube and the powers that ve will make sure it doesnt reach many and if it does it doesnt matter because you wont make money from it and wont be officially recognized. To be a major artitst you need to go through the devil who created the industry
Your unexpected crossover with GHOST into the #1 slot on the Pop Charts, and not one of those labels getting an acorn out of it, has got to be the best feeling for you, especially after all of the work you and your team have put into this. The great tracks you released were just icing on the cake. This people, is "The American Dream" Congratulations once again, and all of you at HOG keep up the great work!
Exactly! If they cared they would have reached out before you had the number one pop song. They’re just greedy. Thank you for not giving in and inspiring so many of us 🙌
He has had alot of offers in the past and he turned them all down before, they didn't wait til this song they just stopped after he turned them down. Just thought they'd give it another shot. LOL .

I stopped buying music from the labels sometime shortly after the Napster fiasco. I am not going to blow 10-20 (what it was) for an album from someone that I don’t know if 1 song on there is one I liked.
