What does the day look like?
Running a record label means 90% of your time is spent on corporate operations rather than listening to music. Your day revolves around reviewing P&L spreadsheets, balance sheets, catalog amortisation, and royalty recoupment schedules. You review and sign off on 360-degree recording contracts, licensing pacts, joint ventures, and distribution agreements. Daily work relies on Counterpoint Suite, Curve Royalty Systems, and Music Data Services for royalties, DDEX messaging standards and ISRC/ISWC databases for catalog administration, alongside Mediabase, Luminate (SoundScan), SAP S/4HANA, NetSuite, Tableau, and Chartmetric.
The glamorous side—listening to unreleased demos, visiting recording studios, and spending time with artists—takes up only 10% of the job. The rest involves handling copyright lawsuits, sample clearance disputes, and executive negotiations with DSPs like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. The schedule features irregular hours, frequent travel between hubs like London, Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, and Berlin, late-night showcases, and constant on-call availability for release emergencies.
