The serious side to music.

Most of what dominates the music production are the 'major' labels, they consequently have a huge amount of power over the music we all listen to and buy. The majors have money to invest in videos/artists and own shares of smaller labels, and as a result, select the talent, record the music, print the CDs , commission the videos produced and basically distribute it around the world. Without a major label backing a music artist or band, becoming successful is so much harder as they have an influence in other media, such as media, film, magazines and radio.
