I'm a 15yr Old And I'm About To Co-Found a New Record Label. Is This a Good Idea?!?!?
Today I got a msg on soundcloud from a 22yr old producer in China who's starting a new label called "Radical Ear Records," and after listetning to my tracks, he wants me to co-manage the label with him.
I've said yes, but after reading and thinking about all the responsibilities, im now wondering wether or not its a good idea. I still have school and my own producing to worry about.
I'v herd your productions and your still some way off from anyone showing 'real' interest. This guy would be wasting your time imho.

Concentrate on school at this stage of your life, take production easy, no need to rush. You're very young, you have plenty of time to develope as a producer.

You might invest a lot of time, but unless you're a great artist (you're not, you've posted your songs here) you're not getting any profit out of it.

Either the guy is actually starting a label that truthfully has almost no chance of making it (as is the case in business). There are already too many labels and few of them make any real revenue much less a profit.
or it is just a scam altogether. Chances are he sent that message to thousands of people as a sort of confidence game. In the world of entertainment this is a very common trick. Contact someone desperate for attention and fame (as most of us in this industry are) and tell them 'you are great' and 'we want you'. Many then let their guard down because their vanity has been appealed to. Then the door is open to all sorts of things. Also, it is a good way to get people to look at and play songs on their soundcloud.

no you meant exactly what you typed and it sounds silly because you aren't in any way part of the industry. Sorry but you are really making my douche bag sonar ping. Stop trying so hard.
