Recently, Weber
finalized his, from the ground up, re-definition of the business
model for a record label that he firmly believes will be the architecture
for all labels in the future. Weber’s model has embraced a
complete slate of innovative concepts and procedures, ranging from
the manner in which artist contracts are conceived and implemented
to recording procedures, to innovations in sales, marketing and
promotion. Designed to re-invent and re-energize the relationships
between the artist and the label and the artist and the consumer,
the model establishes format-breaking levels of transparency and
unique partnerships in all label/artist/fan relationships.

concepts were the operational foundations for two independent labels

of both labels.
