A&R stands for Artists and Repertoire. This is the division of a record label that is responsible for talent scouting and the artistic and commercial development of the recording artist. It also acts as a liaison between the artist and the record label.
The role of A&R has three main responsibilities:
- Finding talent
- Overseeing the recording process
- Assisting with marketing and promotion
A&R can sign new or established talent to the company's roster. They then continue to work closely with the artist, acting as their liaison to the label's business affairs department and as an advisor who will help nurture a certain sound and image. Their duties include listening to demos, aligning artists with the right producer, and offering creative input.
For the unsigned musician, A&R can be the gatekeepers of the industry. It is not their job to keep you out, so much as it is to find marketable music for their company. A&R reps are the musicians' point of contact at the label during contract negotiations. They also play an important role in development of the artist.

The importance of social media
The true strength of social media is influence. Social media offers an avenue for companies to not only engage with customers but also influence them with the correct content. Social media connects fans to artists — fans can comment, like, and share content and may even have the opportunity to speak with their favourite artists. As one of the most powerful assets of social media, artists can develop a stronger relationship with their fanbases.
