Ep. 142: Loren Wells | How To Get Signed To A Record Label In 2022
Loren Wells is a music lawyer with an understanding and passion for the entertainment business unlike anyone I've ever met. He's also an owner and partner at Wells & Kappel, an entertainment and I.P. law firm with a focus on musical talent.
Having a good lawyer in entertainment can be the single biggest piece of getting signed, and getting the best record deal possible. In this episode we come back to that exact topic and discuss how much has changed since the last time we spoke in 2020, then Loren breaks down the new step by step process of exactly how to get signed in 2022.
In addition we talk about some much bigger topics like how to find and follow purpose in life, how to find the right team as an artist in the music industry, and the importance of finding your own momentum and playing the long game in life.
