how much does it cost? Why does it cost? Most A&R companies simply take a cut of the initial artist's contract.

[A&R]

Our services are so that you can maintain 100% ownership of your music and get the development services you would typically get from an A&R staff at a label. Please refer to all of the Services included with our Registration Page. You can find our prices there too.




. If you are refering to a record deal

soooooooo technically if we do not register financially with a&r select, you really do not pay us no mind. Just asking trying to understand how this site work or help unsigned artist. I think that others want to know that question too but do not know how to ask that question with out been dismissed.
Just for consideration I am an unsigned artist with a very very small budget,so how do I register for your services and I am interested in some help.

[A&R]

We are working on a basic package for artists that don't have enough money to invest in the artist launch packages.
We do offer payment plans for our artists.

Our services require a staff and since we never take away ANY of your rights or percentages of your record sales, there is no other way for us to be able to provide this services.

We have had several artists get sponsored by friends and family to help them if they are not financially able to sign up for our services so that may be an option for you.

We do however provide you with a free profile and ability to access some of our free information we send out in our newsletters. You can call us at 323-924-5897 to discuss a payment plan with our new artist department

Hope this helps!

Good Day, A&R Representative:
Everything is going as according to my project management (Street Team Promotions) schedule gathering information’s such demographical, geo-graphical supporters in the Metropolitan area.

There's is a over whelming buzz in the Nations Capital District of Columbia,
area for more "CISLAND" generated music, promotions, radio, & television time.

I've embraced my community (DMV) with complete professionalism, rigorous balance between Rap/R&B artist & management A&R abilities.

CISLAND Street Team Promotion
- Greeting the customer/ fan with a warm formal greeting

- Giving the customer/ fan incite on (CISLAND) as a artist & standings as a unsigned talent

-Experiencing complete comfort if interaction with fan

-In conclusion making a smooth sale, purchase transaction

-Keeping a income balance sheet & complying analysis
info, charts, pie, bar, graphs


-Thumbs Up ! - #22 Unit's have sold
(Unit Consisting 1-hundred CD's Geographical/ Demographical )

This experience balancing out the two Management A&R/ Hip-hop, R&B artist I've acquired training with dealing with fans.

Having complete awareness on situation, & handling all types of situations in a gentleman manner. Threats, clingy fans, autographs, taking pictures with fans, &
attending open mic's.

I have had a taste of high social impactive moments when fans are in a frenzy, but those times are when I'm most comfortable.

Just giving you aheads up that CISLAND has what it takes, maturing as we speak. I look forward to networking with you in the near future making some dollars turn over & work for that very principle.
