How We Sign

xxavvMusik is a curated label. We don't take submissions, we don't review demos, and we don't have an "apply here" button. If we want to work with you, we'll find you.

That's not us being difficult. It's the whole point.

Every artist on this label is here because we went looking for them specifically. Not because they landed in an inbox at the right time. We'd rather build a small, real roster than a large, generic one.

If you're an artist reading this hoping to get signed: keep making your work. Keep being good at it. That's the only thing that gets our attention.

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all deals. Depending on where an artist is in their relationship with us, they'll fall into one of three tiers.

Fresh Off the Boat: Our entry-level agreement. This is where every artist starts. One album cycle, built around a single core deliverable, with room for singles, EPs, and physical releases alongside it.

Deliverable-Based: Available once an artist's first contract with us is complete. At this stage, we sit down together and agree on a real, defined scope of future releases, running up to six years or until that scope is fulfilled, whichever comes first.

Until It's Over: Our longest-standing agreement, and one you have to earn. Available only to artists who've been with the label for three years or more. No fixed end date. You stay until you decide it's time to go.

• You own your work. Full stop. We don't take masters, and we never will.
• We're not your only outlet. Our deals cover distribution. What you do outside of that is yours to decide.
• No AI. We don't distribute it, and we don't work with it.
• This is real. Real music, real people, real effort. That's non-negotiable.

We don't take unsolicited submissions. Please don't send demos, links, or pitches to any xxavvMusik contact or channel. They won't be reviewed, and they won't be responded to.

If we're paying attention, and we are, you'll hear from us.
