Independent Artist Sofi Maeda Considers Major Labels

Indie artist Sofi Maeda stormed onto two charts this week with her new single “Ashita.”

She climbed onto the Top 40 Pop Chart this week at Number 39. Plus, she sprung onto the All Genre/International Chart at Number 13.

She has an album, due within the next two months.

Her talent has lead to Indie success, but she has not ruled out signing with a major label.

Sofi Maeda recently spoke with BMS Radio Chicago.

Are you looking to remain independent or would you prefer a major label deal?

We’re considering joining a label promoting pop-rock, pop-punk, alternative and similar music in future. For example, We Are Triumphant, Fearless Records, Hopeless Records, Pure Noise Records, Rise Records etc.

If anything, what would you change about the music industry today?

In Russia, there is no real support for the bands of our genre. Most of the radio stations are promoting a limited choice of music, so there is a strong lack of genre diversity. In short, more genres need to be present and supported.
