Before you send
Practical answers for artists contacting Artan Records.
Who can get in touch?
Artists and people authorised to represent their work can send an introduction. Creative collaborators can use the collaboration page.
Do I need to send audio files?
A listening link is enough for an initial enquiry. The public form does not accept file uploads. Keep masters and project files private.
Does a submission mean acceptance?
No. Every enquiry is reviewed. Any offer of representation or release arrangement must be agreed separately.
Is promotion included?
Do not assume it is. Creative or promotional support, where offered, is agreed for the individual project. There are no guarantees of streams, placement or coverage.
Does sending work create an artist account?
No. The current process is a reviewed enquiry, not self-service registration. Artist profiles are published only after approval.
Where are commercial terms explained?
Commercial terms must be discussed and agreed before an engagement. There is no universal royalty percentage or payout schedule published on this website.
