What does an A&R consultant do?
Our A&R consultants are old-fashioned record makers. We do everything from identifying album concepts; to working with writers and publishers to find material; to selecting and securing producers, engineers and guest artist talent. Basically, everything a label A&R executive would do in terms of creative record making - we oversee the entire creative process.
Why hire an A&R consultant?
Working with an A&R consultant allows a label several things: it eliminates the overhead of a full time employee, it allows the label to focus its time on other things, and it allows us to do what we do best: work closely and directly with the artists to make the right record. We handle all aspects of the creative record making process and deliver a finished master when complete.
