There’s no secret meeting.
As much as it may seem like it sometimes…The heads of the labels and the agents and the managers don’t all get on a group call and brainstorm ways to keep you down.
If the music biz feels this way you might consider…
What type of risk do others associate with you?
Can others see a way to get credit and glory (for themselves) by working with you?
How do you help their dreams come true?
If they work with you and things don’t go well, what might happen to their job?
Does it seem like you need their help? If not are you willing to ask for it?
How do you excite people?
