Blogger thoughts and advice
If
you took time to review and respond to the above questions honestly,
then they might be of great help if your are an aspiring musician. The
reality is that anybody can be a musician, it is nothing special.
However, talented musicians are few. So talent is very crucial if you
wanna be there and leave a legacy. Some artistes get "discovered"
through producers, friends or relatives as they sing in their bathrooms,
church choir or talent search shows like American Idol , African Idol ,
Tusker Project Fame among others. Some"just know" they are made for
music or music is meant for them. The objective of this post is to help
you re-evaluate your values and gear yourself for prospering in this
most competitive aspect in the entertainment industry: music.
Know Your Path
*Finance:*
Most
talented and up-coming musicians face one major problem: lack of money.
Dear artist,forget about the sponsors you are looking for in churches,
internet or newspapers or well-wishers in big places who have a "heart"
for young talents. They rarely happen. If you have a way of earning some
money, save and invest in your talent. If no job, as it is in most
cases, it is time you looked for one. Free styling all day in that
jobless corner exchanging a few blunts is not gonna make you a star.
This is your life. Do what you can to get that money to record that song
before you lose interest and burn your rhyme book. These are not the
days of 2PAC and Run-DMC, so a video is an icing on the cake for any
song. Before everyone, including yourself, gets sick of listening to
that single of yours, shoot a video.
*Quality:*
Up-coming
artistes often try out their talent in cheap underground labels with
producers who tend record anything as long as they get paid. Get quality
music production no matter how expensive. Established studios never
charge an artiste exorbitant fee only the song to end up in shelves.
They consider artistes as assets that they can market to boost their
companies. Let's be real: it is all business.
When
it comes to video quality, anyone with a camera phone can shoot one! So
it is only fair you also invest in quality video, professional editing
for your song. Here is a simple pattern:
*Talent+Money=$uccess*
