Starting your own label can be a game-changer. For me, launching GLITTER COWBOY wasn’t just about putting out music; it was about crafting a space where I could explore my artistic vision freely, alongside my friends and collaborators. The majority of my streams - tens of millions - come from tracks I’ve released on this label, made with people I love working with. You don’t need some big, well-known label to find champion you to grow. It's a myth. A remnant of a bygone era. So many artists get trapped in the waiting game, hoping a big label will swoop in and sign them. But here’s the reality: a label won’t save you. Your vision will. When you create your own space, you’re not just building your artist project; you’re building a brand that stands for something, that resonates with others on a deeper level. GLITTER COWBOY allows me to release music whenever I want, however I want, without waiting for permission or fitting into someone else’s schedule. I’m not just releasing music; I’m sharing a piece of a larger narrative, a collective story that grows with each release. Don’t let waiting for a label stop you from putting out your music. Start your own, even if it’s small. It doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to be yours. Cultivate your sound, build your brand, and show the world what you’re about - because the world doesn’t need another artist waiting for their break. It needs you, right now, unapologetically releasing your truth. (All of the beige cover releases were released on my label GLITTER COWBOY)

For me i'd love to see Jimmy Hendrix at Woodstock or Freddy Mercury at the Aids Benefit! What's yours?

Hey everyone I'm Quinn Blalock. I currently live Saint Petersburg / Tampa Florida and travel back and forth from miami. I LOVE music (of course), cooking, and spending time in nature. I'm good at Djing (been teaching for 5 years), production tips & hacks for ableton, and creating project + time management tools. I would like to increase my marketing accumen and create more consistent releases.
