Fading Ways Music

About Me


Fading Ways is a protest against the ethically vapid and artistically void major labels that place profit about creativity, and corporate interests above art. Music is art. Art is culture. Culture should be shared, sometimes for the livelihood of the artists that create it, other times for free, for the benefit of our society.
Fading Ways operates out of the UK and Canada as a traditional record label with distributors around the world, but it does things a little differently. Its artist deals are usually 50/50 splits that leave the artist at the creative helm of their art. It signs career artists that it can work with, long-term, not short-sighted fame-seekers after one hit wonder superstar careers.
Fading Ways denounces the superstar system. Fading Ways denounces the existing music publishing business, which is exploitative by nature and has abused the original intent of copyright for the increased profitability not of the creators, but of the intermediaries. Fading Ways embraces Creative Commons free culture instead.
Our artists share our views. We are a community. Our street-team members are dedicated supporters of the label and its artists, and are also encouraged to create (websites, prose, poetry, music, anything), and that is the message we are trying to get out to more people.
Every business in today's world needs to become politicized in order to escape the ethical vacuum of today's music industry. Stop the madness.
