Starting a record label is exciting—but sticking with it is where the real work begins.
In Episode 8 of How to Start a Record Label This Year, Scott focuses on one of the most important (and underrated) qualities of successful labels: consistency. Not hustle. Not volume. Not chasing trends—but showing up in a sustainable, repeatable way over time.
This episode explores:
-
Why consistency matters more than frequency
-
Choosing a release cadence you can actually maintain
-
The difference between full-length releases, singles, and supplemental content
-
How the pipeline supports consistency and prevents burnout
-
Why a label’s greatest asset is its catalog, not any single release
-
How labels act as a bridge between artists and music fans
Scott reframes the role of a record label as a long-term conduit—balancing the infinite appetite of music fans with the creative rhythms of artists—and explains how thoughtful consistency builds trust, momentum, and sustainability for everyone involved.
