Company Skills

Many companies brag about being both manager and producer. Many record companies are also publishers. The important question to ask, though, is what field they are actually useful in. Just because a record company has a successful act doesn't mean that they are also a great publisher for an unknown act. Even if a person is a superb manager that does not mean that they can supervise a production as well as a producer or an A&R can.

More often than it is believed, the decisions are taken by the producer, who owns the act and then licenses it to the record company. This is vital information if you are a songwriter or an artist, because it means that you can contact the producer directly rather than waste time with a record company.
