Landing and Record Deal in the early 2000s was very difficult. So I used an A&R serivce called Talent 2K which shops your music Demos allegedly but that was a scam. The only Labels that offer any deal were something called "Co Production" which means you pay the Record Label to put you project out. So I paid this Anand Bhatt guy $3000 thinking my CD was going to be in all of the Records stores like Tower, Best Buy Etc. He tells me this lie that he contacted all of the trade magazines like Rolling Stone and passed by Best Buy claming my CD is in on all of the Shelfs at every Best Buy.
So I went to one of the Best Buy Stores in Philadelphia PA where I live & looked. There was nothing there! I even ask one of the workers about my CD and even he was like "Sorry, I don't have that artist."
The only Releasing was done at all was on all of the On-Line Music Stores like iTunes which was just starting out at the time, he did no kind of music promotion what so ever! You call him and the Label over and over and over but no one gets back to you! So what did he spend the Money on? His self! He posted pictures of his self at the Grammys, renting Line Green Lamborghinis, doing interviews and making music videos of not his music artists signed to his Record Label but his own Band at the time called Anand's Clique!
Well you live and you learn. [continued below]....
