Artist Development (don't use)

There was a time when record labels would thoroughly develop their artist before release.  In the past, record labels had an entire department called artist development which was dedicated to building the artist's creative side, performance ability, media training, vocal coaching, as well as build the artists brand and image.

Today, as the music industry changes, labels now only want to sign artist who have already gone through the artist development stage on their own.  They want artists who are completely packaged, with a large and steadily increasing fan base.  In today's competitive music business, the responsibility for artist development has changed and artists and independent labels have inherited the responsibility of nurturing new talent and building the acts and artistic brand on their own.

CSP Music Groups works directly with artist through extensive artist development.  

Many times, artists come to our company in search of management or simply trying to take their career to the next level.  However, many artists are in the beginning stages of their careers and do not yet have enough to manage.  

When this is the case, CSP Music Group will instead place artist under Artist Development.  During this stage, artist are teamed with veteran industry executives, with years of experience in the industry; who possess major industry credits as well songwriters and producers with current top 20 Billboard credits to create music that is current and competitive for today's market. What we can say is that we haven’t heard of any other artist development program demonstrating that their artists have released a top 5 chart single, performed in front of crowds of 7000+, been featured in newspapers and on multiple radio stations, worked with producers whose clients include Ariana Grande, Christina Aguilera, Meghan Trainor, Jennifer Lopez, and Chris Brown to name a few, had scouted auditions straight through to higher stages in television shows, and have been featured on reality television shows. Artist are also aligned with celebrity makeup artist and designers for professional industry standard photo shoots, videography, Electronic Press Kits, performance training and more.

Think of our artist development program as a training school for your career, in which you will have a single or EP written for you, you can have a team of professionals working around you from stylists to choreographers (if required in your genre), producers to songwriters and you will experience the buzz and excitement that many of our artists have – such as being recognized in the street by groups of excited fans.

So why are we so different?

Well we think of you as an individual, with individual development needs.  We also waste no time in opening up any opportunities we can for you to develop in the real world. You will be trained vocally and you will receive performance lessons.   Your musical style will be explored and an album of songs will be written and recorded for you, which you will then record on.  You have the option to also do music videos, YouTube covers and learn how to build your fan base and you will then start to do live gigs and build your confidence as an artist.

Your recording skills will be honed, you will learn how to interact with music industry executives and you will hold yourself confidently in the knowledge that you have been trained to the highest standard with completely individual attention.  This isn’t like school/college where you have to put up with ‘generalised’ training.  This is all for you, in your genre, for your career and those whom it’s right for will be invited into a management agreement where we will take you even further. This is not an opportunity that you can simply purchase.  Places on the program are limited in order that we can afford the time and dedication that our artists deserve.  You'll have to pass an audition process and be able to show you have what it takes.  This will take place during the consultation.  This opportunity is great for all ages from child stars on the rise, to teens, and adults.

Because of our network of professionals, we can offer everything an artist needs ‘under one roof’ at competitive prices within flexible monthly payment plans that are interest free over a span of 9 months. This saves money, time, stress and requires no effort on the part of the artist (or artists’ parent/guardian).
