Research Question: Do upcoming musical artists benefit more or less from signing with major record labels?
Obviously, this question varies per artist and record label, so I am going to need to analyze multiple cases to get the full picture. This means looking at interviews and reading statements from the labels to grasp the bigger picture. I also have to take in mind the background of the labels themselves, including their introduction and location, as some areas feature more aspiring artists than others, and that can influence the answer to the question.
