People ask me this a lot, so let me be clear: 210 Productions is not a record label.
I'm not signing artists. I'm not taking ownership of your music. I'm not locking you into some deal where I eat off your work. That's the old model. I'm trying to move artists away from that.
So What Is It?
210 Productions is an artist-development company. Independent, Iowa-based, run by someone who learned this from the ground up.
Simple version: I help artists develop. I teach you how to record, release, promote, and make money from your music without signing your life away.
What I Offer
Everything I offer is stuff I do myself:
- Studio Time ($50/hr) — Recording and engineering.
- Mixing & Mastering ($50/song) — One service. Your track leaves radio-ready.
- Cover Art Design ($35/cover) — People judge your music by the cover. Make it count.
- Artist Consultation ($50/hr) — Distribution, release planning, branding, social strategy, career moves. The business side most artists skip until it's too late.
- Collaboration — Work with me directly. Studio rate applies when we need studio time.
- Performance Opportunities — Real stages. Contact for details.
What I Don't Do
I don't distribute your music for you. That's on you — and that's the point. I'll show you how to use DistroKid, LANDR, UnitedMasters, whatever fits. But you keep your music, your rights, and your money.
A label wants a cut of everything. I want you to understand the business so nobody takes advantage of you.
Why I Built This
Too many talented artists get stuck. They can rap, sing, produce — but nobody taught them the business side. So they sign bad deals or quit.
Music is maybe 30% of it. The other 70% is business: branding, release strategy, knowing how money moves. You either learn it or you don't make it.
210 Productions exists so you don't have to figure it out alone. You bring the talent. I'll help with the rest.
