Question 1

Is there a joining fee?

Accepted Answer

No. There is zero upfront cost to join DaveGPT Records. We only earn when you earn.

Question 2

What does DaveGPT Records charge?

Accepted Answer

A flat 15% commission on sales we help generate. You keep 85% and full ownership of your masters. No upfront fees, no recoupment, no lock-in.

Question 3

Why 15%?

Accepted Answer

Major labels typically take 70–88% of your royalties. Standard indie labels take 30–50%. 15% is roughly half of a normal indie cut — enough to keep the lights on and support you properly, without selling you out.

Do artists keep their masters and royalties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You keep 85% of sales revenue and full ownership of your recordings. Nothing is signed away.

Question 6

Can new artists apply?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New, independent, and already released artists can apply.

Question 7

Can already released music be listed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Existing music can be added with release details, cover art, artist information, and streaming links.
