Our courses → https://edmprod.com/courses This week, Nick Sadler sat down to chat for the EDM Prodcast. Nick is best known as the co-founder of labels such as Never Say Die & Disciple Recordings, but is also known for his work with his company The Label Machine. After writing a book on helping people start-up labels, he turned it into a fully-fledged business where he coaches people along the process. In the interview, we dive into his background and how he transitioned from being an artist into the marketing side of things. We discuss how this came about through being open to the opportunities around him. Later on, we talk about problems that the modern artist faces, and why working with others is key to growing in your music, branding, and promotional skills. Nick also covers what makes an ideal candidate for a producer who's thinking of starting a label - that you have to be entrepreneurial, people-focussed, and dedicated.
