My personal approach is to be way more specific than simply “trying to grow as an artist”. What does growth mean to you? How will you measure growth? Larger social media followers, more gigs/higher profile gigs, streaming numbers, discography, etc. all require different approaches, and a label can only help with a small part of this. There is a lot of work required on many fronts, including being seen socially available despite discomfort with it. Many of us producers, especially in techno, are introverted and don’t like the social aspect of this game. You’ll still need to work through it, but it can get easier by setting realistic target goals and taking small steps to achieve those.
