In today's music industry, where things are constantly changing and evolving, more and more artists are taking a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) stance and starting their own labels and self-financing their own projects. Even with all of these funds and tools, there still needs to be some sort of management of the particular project or overall guidance of the big picture plan. In the last 5-6 years, artists such as Martin Sexton, Public Enemy, The Supersuckers, The Pernice Brothers, The Mars Volta, Anti-Flag, Bauhaus, Daniel Lanois, Sun Kil Moon, Cake, Widespread Panic and even retailer Amoeba Records have all started their own labels.
