Yes and no, it all depends on the contract the artist signs. Many artists will be signed to multiple labels for larger distribution, especially popular and international artists (such as Hikaru Utada, whom is signed to EMI Japan and also Island Def Jam in the United States).

What does a record label artist get paid?
Whatever his contract specifies. That's how a record label deals with an artist. They both sign a contract, the terms usually dictated by the label. If he is popular enough, he can ask for more money or go somewhere else. The music lawyer representing the artist also does his job representing the interests of the artist. The lawyer(s) for the label (independent or major) represents the interests of the record label. Asking for more money from the advance that a contract offers that must be paid back before earnings is a key factor prior to signing. The legal issues best handled by a music lawyer as a real estate agent represents a seller or buyer. The job of the artist is to sell recording product for the label and the investors which have to be repaid first before profits.
How easy is it to get signed to a record label?
In general, it's not easy at all. Record labels can't survive without selling records. If your music is not good enough to sell records, then you probably wont be signed to a label. Generally it takes years of making music, and performing shows and selling cds. Thise shows labels that you can earn, and make you more likely to get signed. On the other hand you have talentless kids like Justin beener or whoever that made a youtube video and now they have a record deal. Is the record deal he has good? Not at all, but he has it.

If you signed a contract with a record label and the company changed there name is the contract still good?
Yes, the company only changed name. that does not mean that the company dropped everything along with it. The company cannot say that they don't want you any more they have to somehow break the contract and unless they actually dropped everything including the company name then you or anyone else have nothing to worry about.

Is it better to sign to an independent record label or major?
The answer to this depends on what you are looking for out of a label. Personally I think that an independent record label is the way to go in the modern market. You will have more flexibility as an artist and are likely to stay out of a 360 deal. Major Record labels aren't as wealthy as they used to be so they will squeeze every penny they can out of an artist. Again, it all depends on the type of career you are trying to have. Good luck!

What does A and R stand for?
Music A&RA&R is Artist and Recording basically they're the ones who are the talent seekers since they present the talent to the producer who determines if they're offered a contract. AnswerClose. A&R stands for Artist and Repertoire. The A&R department scouts out the talent and then works to develop that talent.And a producer is not the one "who determines if they're offered a contract." A music producer may work for a label or own an independent studio. He produces - makes - albums and demos. Most will work for anyone who has the money to pay, in many cases, exorbitant studio fees whether you have a record deal or not.A contract, also called a recording contract or a record deal, is between the Artist (a.k.a. the talent) and the Label. The bigger the Label, the more likely they will be to tell you which producer to use, among other things.The letter A stands for artists. The letter R stands for repertoire.
