#10: WARREN COPNICK Promotions and A&R at Sony Music Canada
This episode, we sit down with the “The Kosher Cowboy”, a.k.a. the Director of National Promotions and A&R at Sony Music Canada.
He explains the workings of the promotions department at a major record label, sheds some light on how radio tracking and charts work, how they pitch a new artist to radio stations, how to get discovered and signed by a major label (!); as well as some tips for independent artists who want to get set up and on the right track, the 3 kinds of deals you can have with a label and how negotiations typically go.
He literally walks me through how an artist gets signed, right through to the release plan and execution.
