It works on a very basic and transparent model; you submit your music which they then decide whether or not to promote and release on the label. Any proceeds go to their nominated charity &#8211; Cancer Research UK.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, so it won&#8217;t make you rich, but if that concerns you then you&#8217;ve rather missed the point of this label. The company can already boast a number of success stories and with no commercial interests, they really are free to give a chance to some experimental stuff.<\/p>\n<p>This really is an excellent idea, the label takes music very seriously and is an excellent way to both get your music some exposure with the support of a real record label. All you have to do if you would like your music considered is drop them an email &#8211; firststagerecordings@gmail.com or visit their <a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/firststagerecordings\/dropbox\/profile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SoundCloud dropbox by clicking here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Take a listen to some of their artists by visiting their <a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/firststagerecordings\/tracks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SoundCloud<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/firststagerecordings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MySpace<\/a> page.
