Testimonials

Sean Danielczyk
Swerve Collective Creations
"I really wish I personally would have had something like it a few years ago when we first started, because I think it really does do a great job of guiding you through the system."
Scott Bell
Cat Family Records
"The biggest thing for me was writing a business plan. It really helped me to think about it all in a much deeper level, what I was aiming for and just focusing the mind, really... it's just a good framework that doesn't seem to be available anywhere else."
Paul Twomey a.k.a. Beat Mongrel
Obliviate Records
"If you have no idea where to start, even with just like forming a business in general, any sort of music business, this is like a great resource. And it has a lot of information that it's sort of compiled into one easy, succinct place to find."
Roy Lindsay
Dapr Music
"What I liked was the clear layout of the blueprint from the beginning to the end, I could really see where each step relates to the rest of the material. The resources were excellent, the worksheets, the budget template especially."
Carl Cornwell
Jazz Legend and CEO of Jamchart Records
"The Label Machine is designed really well, really helpful for young people like me, trying to learn more about how the industry works."
Leo Lawton
Music Student

SIREN Sounds Records
"I STRONGLY recommend The Label Machine to EVERYONE interested in running a successful record label! I would also like to say thank you to all your staff. Really good. After signing up our music business skyrocketed! It is the most valuable resource we have EVER purchased."
Sherman Reid
Spark Entertainment Group
"If I wouldn't have joined The Label Machine, I probably would not have that structure that you need to make a good start and run it consistently... you can sit there on the fence forever, always wondering how it would be like I did – or just take the leap and see what happens."
Nenad Ruvidic
Parallel Audio
"I love the fact I have a step-by-step formula... there is so much information and documents for so many different scenarios and I didn't expect all that to be included. Producers I know that've got their own labels started recently, or who are thinking of starting their own labels – I've already pointed them in the direction of The Label Machine."
Greg Rose a.k.a Frankllin
Dial8 Records
"Before The Label Machine, I wouldn't have started my label so fast. We have so much information... you make it so easy to understand every task and your help is always there."
Mario DS
Self Made Click Records
"The Label Machine were invaluable in helping navigate the very daunting task of setting up a record label from scratch. Without their vast inside knowledge of what's required and clear guidance throughout, I know that setting up and more importantly running my own record label would have been a much much harder task."
Ned Woodman
Label Manager TORRE XVI
"Started from absolute zero, with a 15, second verse chorus, piece of music demo. And within a month, we're at 200,000 plays on the video, then two months, we're touching 400,000... I wish I had this information 10 years ago."
Vincent Reynolds
Sugar Team Music
"The Label Machine has been an invaluable resource for me launching my own label, the videos are especially great, really informative and the step-by-step guides totally take the headache out of planning."
Molly Beanland
Former Major Label Artist on ISLAND RECORDS

Theo Janssen
TJAMP Records
"It gave me a lot more direction so I knew what to focus on rather than just a load of little bits that I kind of knew... everything's so easily mapped out."
Dave Strickland
Sensible Records
"The blog databases were exactly what I was looking for my artist record labels and are worth the membership alone. I’ve now have a relationship with one blog that has posted about every one of my artists!"
Trev Abodo

Gregg Allen
Best music industry book ever
Thank you for creating this great book. I've read over 30 books on the music industry and this is by far the best one.

The Holy Grail
I’ve been absolutely blown away with this book... The depth of Nick's knowledge is staggering. He explains things in a clear and easy to understand way... He covers every aspect of setting up a business right down to mindset. This isn’t a book you’ll read once and put down but a book you’ll carry with you and reference throughout the growth of your Label. It is the holy grail.

Great Book and Advisor
Really love the Label Machine. It's a great tool for independent Artists and Labels and also gives a great overall view on the music industry.

The Only Book You Need for The Current Music Biz
This book is straight to the point and separated in a way that actually makes sense! I've been reading all the books that people have claimed are the "bible of the music business", but those sound like legal jargon and don't include nearly as much information as this book does... This should replace everything as the "bible of the music business".
Sarah Poole
Valuable resource for any label owner!
Brilliantly informative and well written book - a valuable source of info for industry experts and up & coming labels alike. Thanks Nick!
Ricky
Super in-depth, clear and easy to take action on

Amazon Customer
Fantastic, easily digestible and inspires you to take action immediately
Fantastic book this, especially the parts explaining the royalties and rights side of the industry - key info for label founders and self-releasing musicians alike. I've bought this book twice now as I gave the first copy to a friend and it was that necessary! Well done Nick.
