    Since I’ve sort of just discovered your company,I am just curious now that I have looked over the site as to how you operate,what you are looking for and how does one see if there is a fit between artist and your company.Years ago I moved to LA and found it a very strange land indeed.I was drawn to write as it seems your business model seems a little more in line with reality and owning the masters can be very important in a long career.Thank You for your time.
