Next Level

Thanks so much for your interest in Next Level, we’re excited to hear your music!

So here’s how we work. Essentially there are two main releasing options, digital only or a full physical/digital release with CDs and press campaign. However we’ve tried to set up some of these services as a la carte, so that we can customize a solution for every artist.

Instead of charging up front, or inflating the costs of printing CDs like most labels do, we’re aiming to be transparent and give artists the flexibility to fund their projects without huge up front costs. We have three solutions here. You’re welcome to bring in your own vendors for any part of the process at your own cost, have us do it for you in-house (we’ll charge a fixed rate that will come out of the royalties post-release), for those needing funds for production costs we have access to outside financing resources.
