A Syos rendez-vous : Music Business with Neal Sugarman A Syos rendez-vous

    • Music Interviews

For this 4th episode of the second season of Syos rendez-vous: the podcast for curious musicians, we are inviting Neal Sugerman, musician and co-founder of a music label.

Neal Sugarman is the tenor saxophone player in the Dap-Kings band and a co-owner of Daptone Records with Gabriel Roth founded in 2001. Neal also has a Soul jazz project called The Sugarman 3, a band that predates SJDK and was a major impetus for Neal and Gabe Roth (Bosco Mann) to start Daptone Records together. Dap-Dippin’ and The Sugarman 3’s Pure Cane Sugar were the label’s first and second LP releases and they were shipped from Neal’s kitchen table.

Most aspiring professional musicians dream of their music being signed by a great record label. But what is a label? How does it work? What are the differences between major and independent label records? How to approach them if you want your music to be released on a label?

Together, during an hour, we will answer all these questions and have a look at the current state of the music industry with Neal.
