Independent record label / Membership open

Musicby thepeople.

People's Music Group is a record label run by its members. Members vote on who gets signed. Artists keep their masters. Every deal is a straight 50/50 split with no recoupment.

TRK 01 / How it works

A label you can walk into.

Most labels decide behind closed doors. Here the members are in the room: every signing is a vote, and every release is built where members can watch it happen.

01

Join

Pick a membership tier and get into the members Discord, where everything happens.

02

Artists submit

When a submission window opens, artists send in their music. Submitting is never a fee.

03

Members vote

The label puts a shortlist in front of members, and members vote on who gets signed.

04

We make the record

The label produces, mixes, and releases the music. Members see how it's made, start to finish.

TRK 02 / What we stand on

The deal is the difference.

Four things every artist on this label gets, and every member helps protect.

How to get considered
  1. Become a member

    Any tier gets you into the members Discord.

  2. Watch for the submission window

    Windows are announced in the Discord with instructions and a closing date.

  3. Send your music

    One link to your best work. The label reviews every submission.

  4. Make the shortlist

    Shortlisted artists go to a member vote. The winner gets signed.
