The deal is the artist makes the music however and wherever they want. This ranges from the artist\'s basement to high end studios. The artist sends the final product (CD and/or files) to CD baby for distribution.
CD baby charges the artist $4 for everything. The artist chooses the price they want to sell the media for.
So if the artist charges $10 for the media they make a $6 profit. This is a huge profit margin compared to dealing with a major label.
It\'s only been around for a few years but it seems to be catching on as more and more bands are bypassing the major labels all together and doing it all themselves.
I wonder if Chizzy still plays.
