Introduction

by Robert Nickford

Early in my career I held key sales and promotion duties with Quality Records of Canada, Atlantic Records, Warner Bros Records and its affiliate labels which produced many memorable connections and opportunities to work intimately with several music legends and a host of colorful corporate personalities and media types. After seven years learning the ropes, I decided to start my own indie label, KOT’AI Music, and share my knowledge with aspiring musicians who had little or no proficiency in the music business.
