West Pier Recordings is a Brighton based record label, we work with top-tier third-party providers alongside our in-house expertise to deliver everything you need for success. Every piece of the puzzle fits seamlessly, working in harmony along a carefully planned timeline.
Due to the nature of the music industry and the costs involved that ultimately affect YOU the artist as well as West Pier Recordings, we have a highly selective approach. We work with a maximum of two artists per year, ensuring that all our focus, funding, and energy are dedicated to you, rather than spreading our resources thinly across a large roster. If you work with West Pier Recordings, you’ll be teaming up directly with Julian, our Label Manager, to build a trusting and effective partnership that will give you the confidence that you have found the right home.
Working with an independent record label offers real advantages: genuine collaboration, one-on-one support, funding opportunities, and access to strategic industry connections that can take your music further than self-releasing.
We commit to investing in you and developing your career, and in return, we seek long-term partnerships that lead to shared success. Short-term deals often fail to provide the time needed to truly develop an artist and build a sustainable career. That’s why our approach focuses on mid-to-long-term arrangements. These not only allow us to support your growth financially, but also provides the time needed for the label to work effectively and to recoup mutually agreed costs, such as recording and marketing / promotional expenses.
For management and touring services and to ensure every aspect of your career is handled professionally, we have our in-house industry specialist, George, who has extensive artist / tour manager experience and has worked across the UK, Europe and USA on a long term basis with The Maccabees, Mumford and Sons and currently Elmiene.
As your release campaigns and career progresses and momentum is achieved, we may, by mutual agreement, provide additional support to further amplify its reach through an uptick deal. This partnership could enable your music to benefit from the extensive global marketing resources of a major label, maximising its potential impact.
Our agreements are flexible and can be tailored to suit the direction we mutually decide upon.
Typically, we offer 50/50 recording deals, with the understanding that artist development is crucial in today’s music industry.
If we offer additional services such as management, we would genuinely look to marginally increase that percentage.
For select artists, we offer 360 deals - providing full-scale support across every aspect of your career.
The more we invest in your success, the higher our percentage may be, but we are always fair, transparent, and never exploitative.
Respect is the foundation of everything we do.
The biggest advantage of a 360 deal is financial efficiency - you won’t need to pay separate percentages to a manager, tour manager,
booking agent, or other industry professionals. Instead, everything is handled under one structure, allowing you to
focus on what truly matters: your music, your development, your career growth, and your earning potential.
Additionally, by keeping everything in-house, we maintain control over every aspect of your career rather than relying on third-party
services that could fall short. This ensures consistency, quality, and a team that is fully invested in your long-term success.
