Shark Meat Records: A record company for the new era of digital music
In an industry full of sharks constantly on the prowl for some fresh, tasty meat, a new record label is born: Shark Meat Records. We are a New York City-based indie record company that blurs the line between alternative, pop, and electronic music in the digital age. Our label’s name is a play-on-words that displays our confidence in the music we consistently deliver and our commitment to a future in this industry that we love.
We are always looking for new, dedicated, and talented artists who are open to varying music ideas and styles. Whether you are looking for a recording contract or simply need a-la-carte promotion or digital distribution, Shark Meat Records can customize our services for you.
A label born in what is truly a digital music-making era and a digital market, Shark Meat Records uses only the freshest of techniques, leaving behind old channels and methods that many companies are still struggling to keep alive. We focus on today's latest digital music technologies, starting with the first creative concept all the way through to the end sale. Our progressive services span everything from songwriting, recording, and production to marketing, promotion and distribution. Our focus is on alternative, pop and electronic music.
Being musicians, producers, and fans ourselves, we have witnessed and been a part of the radical changes in the music business during the last decade. From digital music production and computer-based sound technologies to digital distribution and online music communities, we strive to understand and quickly adopt technologies that will help our business operate more efficiently while helping our artists connect with their fans.
We focus on fair and open relationships with our artists, provide fair and structured payment to the artists, and invest in the continued development of our current artist roster and the discovery of new promising talent. Also, as a small indie label, we can provide the personal attention that new and developing artists need in order to reach their full potential, while at the same time partnering with other companies to offer a full suite of services and capabilities that you would expect from larger organizations.
We digitally distribute our artists in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan via major digital services including iTunes, Napster, eMusic, Yahoo Music, HMV and more (see Distribution section below). Additionally, we are one of the few indie lables with the ability to sell music videos on the iTunes Music Store. We maintain direct contact with the editorial staff at each of these services in order to gain maximum exposure. To date, our artists have been featured on the front page of the iTunes Music Stores in the U.S. and Canada, in national magazines, and on music websites.
