Empowering Utah’s Music Scene Through Creative Collaboration
In its latest blog post, Utah Focus: Empowering Independent Artists [link to blog], Kenneth Phair Studio outlines its dedication to supporting local musicians. With an emphasis on collaboration and community, the studio provides Utah-based artists not only a platform for their music but also avenues to expand into voiceover work, commercial licensing, and merchandise creation.
“Our mission at Kenneth Phair Music Group is to promote and support independent musicians, with an emphasis on those hailing from the state of Utah,” says Kenneth Phair, co-founder of the studio. “What sets us apart is that we have our very own production studio where we create our own original series. This allows us to provide artists with possibilities to do more than just play music; we can also provide them voiceover jobs.”
Fair Revenue Splits and Artist-First Philosophy
A central feature of Kenneth Phair Studio’s artist-first model is its favorable revenue structure. Musicians working with the studio retain full ownership of their music and receive an 80/20 split on music sales in their favor. Beyond music sales, artists benefit from a 25/75 split on commercial licensing opportunities, with Kenneth Phair Studio covering the production costs for recording, mixing, mastering, and even creating custom merchandise.
The studio also supports artists through its in-house capabilities, managing everything from publicity and tour management to music video production. This comprehensive support system allows musicians to focus on their craft, knowing their commercial and creative interests are fully protected.
Strategic Partnerships: Building a Creative Ecosystem
Kenneth Phair Studio’s success lies in its collaborative business model, relying on strong partnerships with other local creatives. The studio has formed strategic alliances with Edison Recording Studio for music production and Premade Pixels for album art and design. Together, these partners help Kenneth Phair Studio deliver a holistic experience for independent musicians.
One of the studio’s notable collaborations is with Down River, a Utah-based band whose work showcases the high-quality production and artistic freedom that Kenneth Phair Studio offers. By blending top-tier music production with artistic control, the studio has enabled Down River to stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
In addition to music production, Kenneth Phair Studio has partnered with Edison Recording Studio to sponsor a local songwriter competition, providing Utah musicians with a platform to showcase their talents and gain visibility. This initiative aligns with the studio’s mission to nurture local talent and provide opportunities that extend beyond just music creation.
Utah’s Music Industry: An Independent Movement
Despite not being traditionally known as a music hub, Utah’s independent music scene is growing, thanks to the efforts of Kenneth Phair Studio. By focusing on local talent and offering a range of career-building opportunities, the studio is helping musicians in Utah gain a foothold in the national and global music industries.
“We are completely self-financed, with no debt or investors, which means we are free to focus on what matters most: the artist. We work tirelessly to provide the best possible experience for musicians, offering them opportunities that are usually reserved for major label artists,” adds Phair.
Kenneth Phair Studio’s commitment to staying independent and self-financed allows them the flexibility to shape their business model around the needs of the artists. This independence also means that every decision the studio makes is centered on supporting musicians, rather than pleasing outside investors or adhering to traditional music industry practices.
A Revolutionary Approach to Artist Ownership and Commercial Ventures
Kenneth Phair Studio is setting a new standard in the music industry by allowing artists to retain full ownership of their work. Unlike many traditional record labels, which often require musicians to surrender their copyrights, Kenneth Phair Studio ensures that artists maintain complete control over their music. This approach extends to all aspects of the artists’ careers, from royalty payments to commercial ventures.
Artists also benefit from a transparent royalty system, receiving direct payments for digital sales and additional revenue through commercial placements in movies, TV shows, and advertisements. The studio also handles registering artists' work with pop charts around the world, helping to increase visibility and grow their fanbase.
Additionally, Kenneth Phair Studio has integrated its music division with its broader entertainment initiatives. Artists have the chance to compose original music for the studio’s independent films, comic series, and other multimedia projects. This cross-platform collaboration opens new doors for musicians to explore different creative outlets and expand their portfolios.
Leading the Charge in Utah’s Independent Music Revolution
Kenneth Phair Studio is not just a music label; it is a full-scale entertainment group focused on empowering artists across multiple mediums. By fostering a strong sense of community and providing a fair and transparent revenue model, the studio is reshaping the music industry’s approach to artist support.
The studio’s efforts are paving the way for a new era in Utah’s music scene, one where independent musicians have access to the same high-quality production, marketing, and distribution as major-label artists—without compromising their artistic integrity or ownership.
