Record Labels & Distributors
Looking for a label or distributor to release your music? A distributor is a company which sells music into retail stores on your behalf. They will primarily deal with labels, but sometimes do deal with individual artists. Unfortunately there are few distributors in Christchurch, so here is a list of Christchurch based Independent Labels and some links to other NZ Independent Labels, Major Labels and also NZ Distributors.
