Making your work more receptible to a wider audience! Nobody wants to listen to a poorly produced song or a badly directed video.

In conclussion a record label can change your music career in no small way!
However record labels also have their
Disadvantages:
1. Too much competition;
A lot of major labels sign a lot of musicians and throw out a lot of music, just to see which will be a big hit . As a new signing, except in very special circumstances, you're likely to find yourself fighting for attention. If your music doesn't start selling, after your first few releases, then you can find yourself with a record out that isn't getting much promotion. In other words you may become a side act, which means less money is invested in promoting your songs or shooting your videos!
2.Money problems
Some record labels aren't as big as they claim to be, many record labels do not have the money to fund large scale careers. This can be quite frustrating for the artist, as you have a record label making money off you but not doing any much to help your career. Nigerian artist Skales had the same problems with his record label baseline sometime in 2016.
Now, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of record labels explained what do you think? Do you really need them as an artist?? The decision is yours to make anyway I rest my case here, pen drops!
