ARTPOP Records (Monster Record Label) .. MUST READ

Hello Little Monsters, My name is Ricardo Padua. I'm a Record Producer, Performer, Singer-Songwriter and Composer. I own a Record Label formerly called "Club 33 Records" but now it's called ARTPOP Records. Obviously everything about it is Gaga-inspired for my label ARTPOP stands for (Artistic.Revolution.through.The.Power.of.Pop) I created this Record Label 4 years ago because I know there is a lot of talent our there waiting to be discovered but Major Labels aren't looking for real talent but just for pretty faces and nice bodies. I'm not looking for that, ARTPOP Records stands for Equality, Freedom, Music, Talent, Expression and Art. Lady Gaga inspired me to follow my dreams and she's the reason I'm in the music industry. I'm not going to lie to you monsters, it's been really hard and it doesn't get easier but you must power through and never give up on your dreams. I started 4 years ago with nothing but a laptop, a dream and the knowledge that Gaga believed in me. It's been 4 years and right now I have my own Record Label which distributes music worldwide on all major digital stores, I was at this years GRAMMY Awards and right now I'm on the submission list for the 55th GRAMMY's for 4 categories including Record of The Year. Why am I telling you this? I'm not trying to brag but to tell you that dreams can come true and will come true if you believe in them with all your heart and work hard enough. I'm not even near of achieving my dream yet (Winning at the GRAMMY Awards and working with Lady Gaga) but I know I will get there. My label is open for submissions from all of you little monsters, send me your stuff to r.padua@artpopentertainment.com I created this post in the hope Gaga will see it and maybe join this project of a Record Label which isn't interested in looks but in finding talent creating an Artistic Revolution of ARTISTS with pure talent that will change the world like Gaga right now. If you have any questions please send me a message or email, and I'll try to get back at you ASAP. Please share this post, let's get Gaga on board! Love, Ricardo Padua

I sent something to you, what do I need to do now HAHA :3

Ricardo Padua@ricardopadua 13y

For all of those asking about the name. I used ARTPOP because it stands for everything that Lady Gaga believes in, and the label is founded on those beliefs so it just made sense. It's not a copy but a homage to the greatness of Gaga.

Mark Hollywood@markhollywood 13y

cant she sue you for taking her copywritted name ofsomething she owned

Ricardo, I may be interested in signing with your label. I play actual artpop as a genre, somewher ein between synthpop, dance, rock, indie, and metal. I am trying to record an EP. I was going to try to sign with Interscope, but I haven't recorded my EP yet. However, if I sign with you and it gets popular your label would skyrocket as well as my fame. Let me know... I am going to change my image regardless of the fact that it isn't needed. I'd like to be who I am, and I feel right now I cannot express myself properly. please get back with me.. thanks.

Monsters I just got a mail from the "Little Monster PR Team" and they want to know more about ARTPOP Records. I think this might be it, I think Gaga will know about this. Together we will make thousands of dreams come true. PAWS UP.
