So the label only backed her after she had achieved 60,000 downloads? Sounds to me like she got there on her own. No, they backed her when they signed her and then worked with her to get her music recorded, mixed, produced, and released on SoundCloud while pretending she was acting independently. Like... they literally shaped her career up until that point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Love_Club_EP Lorde was discovered by A&R representative Scott MacLachlan of Universal Music Group (UMG) at the age of 12, when MacLachlan saw footage of Lorde performing at a school talent show in Auckland, New Zealand. At the age of 13, Lorde started writing songs herself. MacLachlan unsuccessfully tried to set up Lorde with several songwriters and producers to help her with production.[3] Ultimately, he paired Lorde with Joel Little in December 2011, when she had just turned 15. Little was impressed by Lorde's vocal performance and songwriting abilities, and he built songs with musical structures based on Lorde's lyrics They spent 3 years pairing her up with different industry professionals until they found a fit, then they recorded the EP, then they let her release it on SoundCloud. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
