When navigating through all the twists and turns that the music industry has to offer, artists sometimes feel that hiring an entertainment lawyer should be the most secured bet. Having an entertainment lawyer to represent the artist or band to a label sometimes isn’t the right answer. Most labels do not respect a lawyers’ opinion on talent. We hear it all the time when a band or solo artist says that they are being “shopped” to labels by an attorney. Most of the time a deal never materializes and for these reasons: 1.) The lawyers that “pretend” to be music executives do not contain the ear or experience in choosing talent. Music executives “normally” do not rely on lawyers for new talent. This is the A&R’s job to do research for the executives.

Industry Level Music Group is seeking talent for the summer of 2013. Talent scouts will prowl social media, nightclubs and listening to satellite radio for new talent. In order to submit music to Industry Level an artist must receive a referral through a talent scout from ILMG. "Our goal is to sign at least three to five artists this summer", says head A&R Sean Davidson. "Artists will be strongly vetted out after receiving a referral from a talent scout. We have to ensure the quality and credibility of an artist before we risk our reputation by pitching a major."
