Featured Artists versus "signed artists"
At Dreamweavers Records International, our mission is to bridge your creativity with digital opportunity. As our community expands, we want to ensure complete transparency regarding how we partner with our musicians. There has been some confusion recently around the different roles within our label, so we are taking this opportunity to clarify what it means to be a "Signed Artist" versus a "Featured Artist."
What is a Dreamweavers Signed Artist?
Our Signed Artist designation is a formal production and publication partnership. Here is exactly how this relationship works:
Production & Publication: We agree to produce a new song or publish one of your already produced tracks under the Dreamweavers Records label.
Streaming Income: The label retains 20% of the streaming income from these specific releases.
Comprehensive Promotion: In exchange, we actively promote the artist's entire music catalogue.
Maintaining the Badge: To keep your "Signed Artist" status active, you must provide one song per quarter for our label to publish.
Creative Independence: Signed artists maintain their freedom and are fully encouraged to continue publishing other songs independently.
We are incredibly proud to work with our current roster. Our official "Members - Signed Artists" directory currently includes:
Live Fire Andrea
Brenna Wiles
The Evolution of the Featured Artist
When Dreamweavers first launched, the "Featured Artist" designation was our starting point. We promoted Featured Artists completely for free, regardless of whether they published their works under our label or independently.
As our operations scale, this legacy system is gradually being phased out. Moving forward, the "Featured Artist" title will be reserved for artists who choose to publish their works independently but pay Dreamweavers to manage their digital promotion. Under this new structure, there is no split regarding streaming income—artists keep 100% of their royalties while we handle the marketing.
Recording Original Work: StarMaker vs. BandLab
When collaborating with us on original work, artists can either record their vocals directly in BandLab, or in StarMaker. If you prefer to record your vocals in StarMaker, please follow these steps so our engineers can achieve the best possible mix:
First Recording (Detailed Feedback): Record your vocals as normal, with your FX effects and music. Download your recording and send it to us so our team can provide detailed feedback.
Second Recording (Vocals Only for the DAW): Record it a second time, but before you post, put the music to 0% and click on "No effects," ensuring there is absolutely no reverb or special effects. Send the vocal-only download to us, and we will fix your vocals in our Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
