MUSIC INDUSTRY - USA / AMERICA
MUSIC CATEGORY (D) - LOCAL MUSIC ARTISTS (Definition)
Local Music Artists are those "music artists" (bands, solo acts, duos, buskers, music artist DJs*, etc) from a local region (a state, county, territory within a country) whose recordings (demos / indie / self published recorded releases) and/or live music sets are/was made up of mainly their own original material. Local Music Artists include "music artists" (current or defunct) who are yet to achieve (or never achieved) major artist status in their own country due to their albums being only available at a local state level (with no major or significant indie national retail presence), or who may be national in a live or media presence (but have not yet released an actual album) and/or whose activities have been mainly centred around a local state / regional area within that country they reside in (such as a state, county or neighbourhood of a nation) that are either yet to be nationally recognized. See our Music Artist Categories Master Page for a full rundown on how our Music Industrapedia Music Artist / Outfit categories work.
*Must include over 60% of their own material (and no more that 40% of sampling or doing covers of other peoples material. Or, have recorded product released by a major or indie label that has been approved by the industrapedia music council) otherwise the music entity will be placed in the appropriate 'Music Outfit' state, territory, regional listing where they mainly reside.
