Terry Houchens

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."
Record Label Start

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."

"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."

"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."

"The Label Machine" book

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.

Jason


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

Methodical, detailed and concise. So helpful!

Michael Ritter

Jamie Jackson


Great book and very informative! Super well written Nick is clearly an expert in his field.

Everything you need to know to start, build and grow you own record label. Good luck and wish you all the most success!

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.
