Our Label
We are looking for talented new artists who want to improve their sound and become part the music industry.
Streaming platforms like Spotify typically generate only limited income for most artists. That’s why we focus on building additional and more sustainable revenue streams together with our artists.
With Really Nice Records you get access to:
• Professional production of your songs (music production, recording, mixing & mastering)
• In-house digital mastering is included for projects released with the label, with optional analog mastering available as an upgrade
• Cover art
• Music distribution (digital + physical releases)
• Sync licensing opportunities
• Merchandise production and full store integration, including placement on your Spotify artist page
• Marketing support tailored to your release and audience
• Monthly transparent sales reporting and payouts
• Referral earnings for bringing new clients or artists to the label
• Optional label financing for selected projects
Our model is simple: you pay a one-time release fee of €24.99 per single (or €79.00 per album), and the label retains a 33% share of generated revenue from music, merch, and shows.
There are no additional monthly service fees. And the cut only applies to songs signed to the label, shows organized by the label and merch made by the label
Our goal is not just streaming numbers, but building real artist income through multiple channels such as merch, physical releases, licensing, and long-term catalog growth.

About ReallyNiceRecords
I’m a Music Producer and Audio Engineer, and since my time at SAE, I’ve been passionate about using tools to enhance not just the sound quality of music but also the emotions a song conveys. That’s why I started ReallyNiceRecords—first just for friends, but it quickly grew into a full-time focus.
Our label is built for artists who want to stay independent, maintain full control over their music and branding, but still get industry-level sound quality without compromises.
What We Offer.
At ReallyNiceRecords, we do things differently:
✅ Artists Keep at least 67% of Their Earnings – Our cut only applies only to revenue made through us, not everything you do.
✅ No Strings Attached – You’re free to collaborate with other labels and artists, no need for clearance.
✅ Flexible Contracts – Cancel anytime with three months' notice. For label-financed projects, the financing must be paid off first — either directly or through recoupment from your revenue share.
✅ Touring on Your Terms – We’ll look for venues for you, but you always have the final say.
✅ You Keep Your Rights – We only retain Master and Sync Rights for the duration of the contract, automatically reverting to you when it ends.
✅ Marketing Costs Are on Us – Any marketing campaigns we create come from our share, not yours.
✅ In house Digital Mastering included for your releases with us, Analog Mastering is available as an upgrade.
How to Work with Us
There are two ways to release music with ReallyNiceRecords:
🎵 Artist-Initiated Projects – Loyalty pricing: work with us twice, save a third on the second project. You keep full creative control, receive 33% label credit toward future productions, and benefit from unlimited revisions. Services like cover art, merch creation and distribution, digital mastering, press materials, and marketing support are included at no extra cost. The label credit works like this: for example you spend 100€ on our services and release your first single, you will receive a 33€ credit for our services in the future. (the standard release fee itself is not eligible for credit)
🎤 Label-Financed Projects – Send us a demo and project proposal if you want partial or full financing. We’ll discuss the scope, budget, and creative direction together before committing to the project, to make sure your creative visions align with ours and fit the planned label financing budget. Financing is interest-free and recouped from your revenue share. Because recoupment comes from your share, the label's effective return is higher than a flat upfront fee — we'll walk through the numbers with you before you commit.
