Definition: Music Artists
A "Music Artist" on Music Industrapedia is one who writes, performs and/or records their own original music material.
An exception to the rule is an artist who has a notable profile and who records songs either written for them or are covers who have (or have had) a major record company or indie record label that is offcially recognised by the 'Industrapedia Music Council'. Anyone outside of this is deemed to fit into the Music Outfit definition.
