Don’t listen to another one of those so called music industry insiders until you read this article.I’m so sick and tired of these wannabes leaching off of talented people with real dreams of making it in the music industry. Have you heard some of the lies they tell you like, if you only had a manager, or I know some people that can get you career of the ground, or my favorite, you could be great if you only had a little bit more training. Well today is your lucky day because I’m going to give you the 3 P’s to breaking into the Music Industry.
So do you have dreams of becoming the next big in the music industry? Before you answer that question,let me tell you something, the only thing you really need, other than a little bit of talent(emphasis on little),is heart. That’s it because after I give you the 3 P’s to Breaking into the Music Industry, you will have everything you need to “Party like a Rockstar”. I want you to think of this as your foolproof plan to success, better yet, your building blocks of your career.
O.K. Guys here’s what you been reading this long for. Without further a do, Here’s your 3 P’s to Breaking into the Music Industry. They are:
1. Produce
2. Promote
3. Protect
Produce- I don’t care if you are a singer, rapper,drummer you should learn how to produce music. And I’m not talking about just playing your instrument, I mean producing CD sounding music. Don’t get scared, most of you already have some kind of music making software anyway. This is crucial to your success because it gives you control over the total sound of your music. There’s nothing worst than working on music you don’t like.
Promote- What’s the use of having all of that cool music without people knowing about it. This is where everything gets fun. This is where you go from a no body to a overnight celebrity, and this also where and when the money starts to come in.
Protect- With all of this new found glory and fame, you have to protect yourself. I never saw snakes on the plane but I can tell you that there’s snakes in the game. So I can’t stress this enough. Other than the obvious copyrighting, you need the right contract for the right job. Don’t ever enter any agreement without a contract. Don’t be a fool, you need to protect all of that hard work you put in.
Well there you have it, the 3 P’s to Breaking into the Music Industry. Now go forth and make some noise!!!
