If you wait by the phone for the day that someone calls you and tells you that with a $5,000+ deposit, they’ll make you famous and distribute your music on radio stations worldwide, do your research before signing over the money. Courtland Tyler, CEO of the Indie label Jetspeed Records, has been targeted in a lawsuit alleging that he and his companies “ accepted money from aspiring artists specifically ‘…to defraud the bands.’� Just be careful, as Tyler isn’t the first to (allegedly) do this, and he unfortunately also won’t be the last.
