NEW ARTISTS
Native are turning the traditional music industry on its head.
"Let's give the artist the freedom that new distribution systems allow. Let them keep 100% ownership of all their work, which we will borrow from them for a set period of time. Let's work together with them to build their careers, and in return build our own."
Kevin Donoghue is the founder and owner of native, a label that he started in Sheffield in 1985 and which is now celebrating its 30th year of independent releases.
"It's really time for change. The old model of the major label is defunct, and the indie trade has disappeared. We are really the last indie. We need to adapt if there is going to be a future."
