Robber Baron Music

What We Are

A digital music label that fully capitalizes on digital technologies to build artist awareness

Robber Baron takes the many channels the internet has created and uses them to our artists advantage.   Word-of-mouth is the most effective form of information transfer.  People are far more willing to trust another person than a corporate advertisement.   The internet is the worlds largest word-of-mouth network, and we know how to tap into it.  We build awareness for our artists, and because its all digital, we have hard numbers to prove just how many people are listening.

What We're Not

We are not a record label

Records are pieces of plastic that nobody wants.  We skip the record and go straight to the music.  You’re going to put it on your iPod anyway, right?  The record industry is failing.  The music industry, which is what we’re a part of, is thriving.

How We Help

We help build your fan base and then monotize your popularity

The internet brings niche interests together, creating an audience where formerly none appeared to exist. Success no longer needs to be defined as a mass market chart topper. By using the viral and connecting nature of the internet, we work to bring your fans together from all over the world. We identify how large that fan base is with hard data and leverage that information to negotiate tour dates and licensing deals.

If you are an artist who is attracting A&R attention speak to us first

Artists get stuck with mediocre contracts because they sign when they’re on the verge of blowing up. They sign BEFORE they can prove how valuable they are going to be.  We take our artists, tap the network, and generate hard data that shows the size of their fan base.  From there, we have a clearer picture of the opportunities.
