So, you have heard about the terms “Talent Management,” “Artist Management,” and “Artist Manager” but who can you trust with such a title? Granted Records is not like any artist management company you have ever seen. Why is that? Because, we think outside of the box. Granted is not just an artist manager, Granted is your business partner. We are with you and support you every step of your way to your dreams. We grant you three wishes: Learn. Record. Become.
Who is Granted Records? First and foremost the team at Granted Records love music. Every single person at Granted Records understands the esoteric qualities of sounds and their ability to express emotions and ideas beyond words and pictures. We know that each person can assemble a string of sounds and rhythms that are unique to them, and unique to their soul. We recognize that every one of us is an absolute single entity, and music is a testament to this. If you are still with us at this point, you are who we are looking for.
Every single one of us comes into this world with our own set of talents and skills. These talents and abilities are put to work to create the life we yearn for. Creation is not just pieces of art or music; creation is engineering, architecture, business owners, writers, programmers, designers, gardeners, farmers and even factory workers. Human beings are master creators, and we are only happy as long as we are creating.
You, reading this right now, love to create music. Your wish is to pursue a life of creating music, but also to be able to survive doing so. Granted Records can grant you that wish. Let’s go back to the three wishes of Learn, Record and Become. We believe these are essential stepping stones to achieve success.
Granted Record’s first love is music, but our second love is building a brand. As part of our Artist Management program, we first try to Learn who you are. This process will also help you learn who you are, and what makes you unique. What life experiences are you bringing with you? What will make you stand out?
Why have you chosen this path, and who do you want to reach? Do you want to inspire or do you want to entertain? All of these are essential questions to answer. Without understanding where you are now, you cannot visualize where you are going and how you are going to get there.
Learning also has to do with learning about your musical talent. You probably come to us already musically talented and experienced, but interacting with other musicians and artists will push you to learn even more. Granted Records will provide you with that environment. Your wish to learn is Granted.
Our Artist Management program continues with the recording process. Granted Records has ten years of recording, tracking and producing records. We have always kept up with new technologies and techniques to give you that highest quality sound you have been looking for. Our producers work with you to make sure the final product is exactly what you envision. Furthermore, we offer our experience and advice to augment your musical talent and create a product that exceeds your expectations.
If you feel that you need a particular type of instrument or sound, our team can provide it through our network of brilliant studio musicians. Is your wish to have the best produced EP or Album? Consider your wish Granted.
Becoming is the final part of our Artist Management program. However, it is also the part of the program that is unique to Granted Records. Building a brand online is not easy. Being able to stand out in the midst of so much noise and clutter of social media takes patience and experience. But because we have understood who you are and what makes you unique, we can create and promote your brand successfully.
Everyone will tell you that social media is the way to go. And while we agree to some extent, it should not be your only strategy. Not only are you at the whims of the algorithms on each platform, but new platforms are forming every day. The only place you have that is sincerely yours is your website. Your website will be the focus of your online presence and personal brand.
Through the website, we attract traffic from search engines through content marketing. We will also use this content marketing to draw traffic from social media platforms. We will also convert this content into videos to be shared on video sharing sites to attract traffic from there. All this traffic funneled in is to serve one purpose; build an email database.
Your email database is the number one most important asset. Nobody can take this away from you. Email marketing gives you the opportunity to directly communicate with your fans and individuals that have already shown an interest in you.
Creating an online presence might seem easy, but it’s not. There is a technical aspect to it that if not done right, the results will be disappointing. Granted Records is highly experienced technically in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Digital Marketing fundamentals, and is offered as part of the Artist Management program.
All of these activities build brand awareness. Our content marketing efforts will also focus on Public Relations through press releases, music videos, and promotional videos to reach the maximum amount of potential customers. Building an audience in this manner will allow you to fill seats at concerts, which is your ultimate goal as a paid artist and entertainer. Your third wish is now Granted.
ouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and many other social media platforms provide livestream services. However, not many offer monetization for live concerts for performing artists. One of the most popular platforms for online performances is StageIt, but they take a large commission. Granted Records is working on its own platform that its artists will be able to use to reach a larger audiences without the need to go on the road for touring. Not only is this easier on the artist, but it is also much more profitable. Gone are the days of driving from city to city to market your music. Now, potential fans will find you online (through our content marketing efforts) and will be able to watch you live in addition to interacting with you—helping you build your audience even further.
It is important to note that having this type of artist management under one roof as Granted Records is extremely efficient and agile. You will have access to all our resources quicker than with any other organization. And since everyone meets you together and understands who you are and what you are all about, everything is created and promoted with a unified message; strengthening your brand and allowing you to stand out.
No one else is offering such a package with the performing artist in mind. Your wish of growing your audience globally is Granted.
As we move more into a digitally connected world with 5G, artificial intelligence (AI), and the blockchain, it is essential to have someone on your side that will monitor future trends and make sure you are ready to take advantage of new technologies and new mediums of communication. Our final wish is that you are entirely satisfied with all of our efforts in helping you achieve your goals through our unique and unconventional Artist Management program. If you have reached all the way here, check out our reviews to back up what we are saying, and drop us a line here. We can’t wait to meet you.
