Charlotte Carpenter from Babywoman Records chats to Phil Loutsis (VP, AWAL Community) about distributing your music with AWAL. All distributors are different and AWAL are home to some of the biggest independent artists out there. Their ethos is all about artists being in control and stepping away from tradition record deals and in this podcast Phil & Charlotte discuss the AWAL journey and how independent artists can exercise their freedom through release campaigns. If it feels boring to you, it probably will to your fans, so why not spice things up and set yourself a part? Is the album dead? How can we build our careers with the data made available to us? There are heavy questions in here with Phil but AWAL artists can build a long term trajectory and Babywoman Records wanted to find out how.
