He did indeed! He's fairly talented. However, it always comes down to the artist's decision, whether they agree to the terms of the label (mastering, promotion, radio play, royalties, etc) or prefer to work on their own. Labels are strict with certain policies, but that is to enable greater mutual success for the label and its artists together.
We are always open to exceptional new talent but we look first to artists who believe in collaboration and teamwork for success.
